You promised the AI feature.
We ship it in 6 weeks, fixed price.
One feature, six weeks, between EUR 25,000 and EUR 50,000 depending on complexity. If it isn't live by week 6, we keep going at no extra cost until it is. The team that builds it has done this work before, in production, in regulated industries.
How the sprint works
You bring an AI feature you've already committed to. We scope it in a 30-minute call, agree on a fixed price between EUR 25,000 and EUR 50,000, and start within two weeks. The feature is in your production environment by week 6. If we miss that, we keep going until it's live without sending another invoice. The code, the models, and the deployment are yours.
A 30-minute scope call
On the call we'll tell you whether your feature fits a sprint. If it does, you get a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours.
We build it
A senior team working async, with a live demo every week. You see working code by week 2. By week 6, the feature is in production.
You own everything
Code, models, infrastructure, and docs all sit in your accounts. If you want us to keep going on a retainer, that's a separate conversation when you're ready for it.
This is for you if
- Your term sheet has a milestone clause that turns into a missed Series A target if you do not ship by Q4.
- Your prototype crashed in front of the customer who could have made your year.
- Your biggest customer just sent a 90-day notice: ship the feature or we leave.
- You spent 12 weeks recruiting an ML lead, sent three offers, got three nos. Hiring is not the answer in time.
- Your AI receptionist hallucinated an appointment time and the pilot clinic threatened to terminate.
If none of these sound like you, a sprint probably isn't the right fit. Email us anyway and we'll tell you what is.
What you've probably already tried
Most founders we talk to have already tried two of the three paths below. The sprint is priced against these specific alternatives, with the failure modes built into how it's structured.
Three offers out, three nos
A senior AI engineer takes 12-16 weeks to land in your seat, and then another 4 to ramp up. If your deadline is sooner than 5 months out, you can't hire your way through it.
$250k to $480k, 4 to 6 months
Tier-one consultancies quote in milestones rather than deliverables. The first four weeks go to a "discovery" phase before anyone touches code, and the headline price is usually a floor, not a ceiling.
CVs in your inbox by Friday
Toptal and freelance pods send you engineers. You're still on the hook for integration, project management, and the risk that nobody on the team has shipped your domain before. The output is hours, not a working feature.
Work we've shipped
Dr. Sarah's AI receptionist
A medical practice needed a HIPAA-grade voice agent that could take inbound calls, book appointments, and route urgent cases to a human. We designed it, built it, and got it into production in under 8 weeks.
Built assuming an audit is coming
Most agencies treat compliance as something they'll figure out later. The system gets built, the audit lands, and the cleanup costs as much as the original project. We make the compliance decisions in week 1: data residency, audit logging, PII handling, model boundaries. The audit becomes a formality.
- SOC 2 Type II controls applied to every project
- HIPAA-ready architecture for healthcare clients
- GDPR-native, with EU data residency available by default
- FCA, PCI DSS, and KYC/AML patterns when the project calls for them
Inside the six weeks
There's no discovery phase and no three-month "alignment" workshop. We start building in week 1 and you can watch the product come together every Friday.
Scope, data, architecture
Final scope sign-off, data access, model selection, and the integration map. The dev environment is up and running by Friday.
First working build
The core feature is running end-to-end on development data. You see it working on a live demo call. It's a real codebase you can poke at, not a slide.
Integration with your stack
We connect the feature to your CRM, data warehouse, auth, and anything else it touches. Where possible we use the tools you already pay for, instead of adding new ones.
Hardening and evals
Edge cases, an eval suite, latency budgets, and a cost ceiling so it doesn't spiral. The version that survives a customer using it at 2am on a Tuesday.
Compliance, security, observability
Audit logs, PII boundaries, role-based access, and monitoring. This is the work most teams skip and customers end up paying for later.
Production launch and handoff
We deploy to your environment, walk your team through it, and hand over the docs. You own everything when we're done, and we stay reachable in Slack.
Why founders pick the sprint
A shipped feature, not engineering hours
Marketplaces like Toptal hand you CVs and walk away. We hand you a feature that's running in production, with the team that built it staying reachable after launch.
US-equivalent quality at Tallinn rates
A US agency can quote $250k or more for the same scope. Our team has the same seniority, runs the same async-first cadence, and lands at roughly half the cost because we're based in Estonia.
For founders who already know what they need
If you've already done the strategy work and you just need someone to build the thing, you don't need a four-month engagement that opens with discovery. You need a team that scopes in 30 minutes and ships in 6 weeks.
Questions we get on the scope call
How can you ship a real AI feature in 6 weeks?
The short answer is that we skip the parts of a typical engagement that don't move the work forward. There's no four-week "discovery" phase before anyone touches code, and no alignment workshop dressed up as a kickoff. Scope is locked in a 30-minute call to one feature with a fixed deliverable, and week 1 is real engineering on a real codebase. If something does push us past week 6, we keep working at no extra cost until the feature is in production.
What if scope changes mid-sprint?
Scope is locked when the sprint starts. Anything that comes up after that gets logged and either fits inside the original scope or gets queued for a follow-up sprint. The constraint is what protects the timeline and the price, and most founders end up grateful for it once they're inside week 4.
How is this different from hiring Toptal or a US agency?
Toptal and similar marketplaces sell you engineering hours. You still own the integration, the project management, and the risk that nobody on the team has shipped your domain before. A US agency typically sells you a four-month engagement where the first month is discovery and the price is a starting figure, not a finishing one. The sprint is structured the other way around: a fixed scope, a fixed price, a working feature in week 6, and the warranty in writing. Because the team is in Tallinn, the cost lands at roughly half a comparable US shop.
Who specifically leads my sprint?
One of the co-founders, Dmitri or Sergei Bogatenkov, is on every sprint as the technical lead, with a senior engineer working alongside. We tell you which co-founder is leading and which engineer is on the build during the scope call, before you commit to anything. The profiles are public at /team/dmitri and /team/sergei if you want to look us up first.
What kinds of AI features fit a sprint?
Things that need real engineering rather than a chatbot plugin. Internal triage agents, customer-facing chat with retrieval over your own documents, document and form processing pipelines, automated report generation, and intake or onboarding agents are typical examples. If you're not sure whether your feature fits, the scope call ends with a yes or a no inside 30 minutes.
Do you handle compliance?
Yes. SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR are decisions made in the architecture during week 1, not boltons added at the end. If you sell into healthcare, finance, or the EU, that's where most of our recent work lives.
What happens after the sprint?
You own the code, the models, the infrastructure, and the deployment. If you want us to stay on, we offer a fractional retainer with 2 to 4 engineers monthly, and most sprint customers do convert, but it's a separate decision and you're under no obligation.
Where is ForBroTeam based?
Tallinn, Estonia. The clients are in the US, the EU, and the UK. We work async-first with one live call a week scheduled into your time zone.
How do I start?
Book a 30-minute scope call. By the end of it you'll know whether your feature is a fit, and if it is, the fixed-price proposal lands in your inbox within 48 hours.
Ship the feature your board is asking about
A 30-minute scope call ends with a yes or a no. The proposal lands within 48 hours, and the feature is in production six weeks after kickoff.
Need a senior AI team on tap?
Most founders we work with end up asking us to stay on after the sprint ships. We run fractional retainers with 2 to 4 senior engineers monthly, with the same team and the same standard. We don't pitch this to people meeting us for the first time, because the sprint is the right way to find out whether we work well together. If you've already shipped a sprint with us, or you came in through someone we know, this is the door.
