Transparent Engagement Models Designed for Your Project Stage

Every software project has different requirements, timelines, and budget constraints. Forcing every client into a rigid contract structure creates unnecessary friction. At CodXpert, we provide three flexible engagement models tailored to your project scope and risk appetite. You get complete transparency into hours, deliverables, and communication workflows with zero hidden management fees.

Dedicated Team Model (Staff Augmentation)

Full-Time Commitment

Senior engineers dedicated 160 hours per month exclusively to your product.

Direct Daily Control

Manage engineers directly via your own Slack, Jira, and GitHub repositories.

Fast Onboarding

Interview pre-vetted engineers and have them pushing code within 5 business days.

Predictable Monthly Budget

Fixed monthly invoice per developer with zero payroll taxes, hardware costs, or recruitment fees.

Easy Scaling

Scale team size up or down with a simple 30-day notice period.

Fixed-Price Milestone Model

Best for well-defined MVPs, website redesigns, and standalone feature modules:

Guaranteed Scope and Budget

Clear technical specifications, wireframes, and fixed total price agreed upon before work starts.

Milestone-Based Payments

Pay in stages linked directly to verifiable deliverables (e.g., 25% kickoff, 25% UI prototype, 25% staging test, 25% production launch).

Full Project Management Included

Our technical project manager oversees daily sprint execution, QA testing, and deadline adherence.

Warranty Protection

All fixed-price deliverables include a 30 to 60 day post-launch bug-fix warranty.

Time and Material (Hourly Sprints)

Best for ongoing application maintenance, code refactoring, and projects with evolving specifications:

  1. Pay Only for Work Done: Billed strictly on actual hours logged with detailed timesheets and task descriptions.
  2. Maximum Flexibility: Change priorities, pivot feature roadmaps, or pause development whenever commercial needs shift.
  3. Transparent Time Tracking: Real-time time tracking via Clockify or Hubstaff with optional daily screenshot verification.
  4. Bi-Weekly Invoicing: Clear itemized invoices sent every two weeks showing exact tasks completed.

FAQs

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can we switch engagement models during the project?

 Yes. Many clients start with a fixed-price discovery or MVP milestone, then transition into a dedicated monthly developer model for ongoing feature scaling.

Our minimum engagement for dedicated developers is one month. We do not enforce multi-year lock-in contracts.

Our engineers provide a minimum 3 to 4 hour real-time overlap with North American, European, and Australian business hours every single workday.
