Every Asauvia engagement follows six stages — discover, design, build, validate, launch and improve — with an overlap window agreed at kickoff and progress visible in a shared backlog. You review the plan before we build and choose an engagement model: fixed scope, dedicated team, or time and materials (or a retainer).
Discover
Scope the real problem and constraints on a short call.
Each stage ends with something concrete you can review, not just a status update.
We start with a short call to understand the real problem, not just the requested feature. We ask about your users, existing systems, constraints and what success looks like. An NDA is signed before any confidential detail is shared.
We work out the architecture and the delivery plan, and document the key decisions up front. You review the plan before anything is built, so disagreements surface on paper rather than in code.
We deliver in increments against a backlog you can see. Every change goes through code review, and dependencies are reviewed as they are added. You follow progress through the backlog and updates on the cadence agreed at kickoff.
Nothing ships without passing testing and review gates. For web work, Core Web Vitals budgets are enforced in CI, so a performance regression fails the build instead of reaching your users.
We deploy with monitoring and a rollback path in place from the first release. If something behaves unexpectedly in production, there is a known way back.
After launch we measure the result against the goal agreed in discovery, then decide with you what to change next. Some engagements end here; others continue as ongoing product work.
We recommend a model after the scoping call, based on how defined the work is and how long it is likely to run.
We do not publish a rate card because cost is driven by the work itself. The main factors are scope and uncertainty: how clearly the requirements are defined, how much integration with your existing systems is involved, and how much of the build is genuinely new rather than an established pattern. We scope this with you before any work starts, so the proposal reflects your project rather than a generic package. See the product engineering, custom software development and AI software development service pages for what each one covers.
Distance only becomes a problem when information is hard to get. We set up the working rhythm with you at kickoff and keep progress visible from there.
Our team works India Standard Time, which runs ahead of business hours in the US, UK and Europe and overlaps with much of Asia-Pacific. For Western teams, work started during our day is often ready before yours begins.
At kickoff we agree an overlap window for live conversation and a communication cadence that suits your team.
The backlog is visible to your team, so you can see what is done, in progress and next at any time.
Updates arrive on the cadence agreed with you, so decisions and context do not depend on catching someone live.
The proposal recommends an engagement model. You decide whether and how to go ahead.
Tell us what you are building, improving or automating through the contact form.
We talk through the problem, constraints and goals. An NDA is signed first if you need to share anything confidential.
You receive a written proposal covering the approach and a recommended engagement model.
No. Every engagement is scoped with you before work starts. Cost depends mainly on scope and uncertainty: how defined the requirements are, how much integration with existing systems is needed, and how much of the work is genuinely new.
Fixed scope suits well-defined projects, a dedicated team suits ongoing product work, and time and materials or a retainer suits work that evolves. We recommend a model in the proposal after the scoping call, and you decide.
You get access to a shared backlog and updates on a cadence agreed at kickoff. Status is visible to you at any time rather than reported only when you ask.
Our team works India Standard Time, which runs ahead of business hours in the US, UK and Europe and overlaps with much of Asia-Pacific. We agree an overlap window and a communication cadence with each client at kickoff.
Intellectual property in the work product is assigned to you on delivery or payment. Access to your systems and data is limited to the people on the project for the duration of the engagement.
Tell us what you're building, improving, or automating. We'll come back with a plan, not a pitch.
