Trust and safety
Hiring a small team you’ve never met, on the other side of the world, is a fair thing to worry about. So the deal is built so that trust is never the thing protecting your money.
How the project runs
You never pay more than one step ahead of work you can already click, use and own.
10%
Fully refunded if you don’t approve the prototype.
No payment
We create the repository and the hosting account in your name, then you invite us. Watch every commit, and remove our access whenever you like.
+20%
Due after you’ve clicked through a working prototype of your system.
+30%
Due once it runs on a staging link with your real content.
No payment
Before launch, a senior engineer checks the system against the OWASP Top 10 and signs the report you receive.
+30%
Go-live, with the code and hosting already in your name.
+10%
Once it has run cleanly for 30 days: documentation, every account and every key, in your hands.
Switch between payment models. With Byfocus, what you’ve paid stays level with what you can already use and own.
How to read it: bar height is how much you've paid. Red is money paid for work you can't yet see, use or own. With Byfocus every payment matches work already sitting in your GitHub and on your staging link. The only money ahead of the work is the 10% deposit, and that is refundable.
Visible progress
Every commit lands in your GitHub. Every change reaches your staging link. Every Wednesday you get a short video of what changed.
Tests, a security audit and a senior review run before anything reaches your staging link, as a pull request you can read.
