You’re not required to prepare anything – you can simply bring your idea and goals.

But, to make the first call more productive and get the most value, it helps to share:

• A short technical brief or product description outlining key features or functionality
• Examples of similar apps or solutions in your space
• Any designs, wireframes, or product roadmap you may have
• Constraints or priorities such as budget, timeline, or critical technical considerations

The more context you give us, the quicker we can spot challenges, share actionable insights, and suggest the right next steps during our first meeting.

You can request whoever makes the most sense for your project.

From our side, we can bring in a senior engineer, technical project manager, or product manager alongside your main DECODE contact.

This ensures that even in the earliest conversations, you’ll have the right people on the call to answer technical questions, talk through architecture, or discuss product strategy.

A few things set us apart from most agencies:

• We follow a strict 1 team, 1 project policy. Once a team is assigned to your project, it’s their only focus. This leads to higher quality work, true ownership, and a long-term partnership built on trust.
• We are extremely transparent with our clients. You’ll always see what we see. Daily standups, weekly check-ins, and sprint demos keep you fully in the loop.
• Our project managers have extensive tech experience. Every PM at DECODE has a background in development or computer science. They understand the technical details, can offer practical solutions, and make better decisions faster.
• We hire only the best. Only 1.5% of applicants make it through our process, and 42% of our engineers hold an M.S. in Computer Science. Many have worked on complex projects for companies like Microsoft and AT&T.
• We apply rigorous QA methods. Every team includes at least 1 QA engineer to ensure your software is stable, high-performing, and ready for real-world use.

But you don’t just have to take our word for it. See what our clients had to say here.

We work across the full spectrum of software development, from native mobile apps and cross-platform solutions to web applications, backend systems, and complex integrations.

We’re at our best on projects where our senior expertise can make a strategic difference.

• Enterprise collaboration: We often integrate with large in-house engineering teams to accelerate delivery and bring niche expertise. For example, we partnered with a US $12B company, joining a 200-engineer team with a small team of 10 high-quality experts, solving complex engineering challenges at scale.
• Greenfield projects: We also work with experienced founders to build products from discovery to launch. In these cases, we guide product strategy, design, and architecture while delivering high-quality, scalable code.

In short: Whether we’re strengthening an enterprise engineering team or building a product from scratch, we focus on projects where our expertise makes the biggest difference.

Team-based engagements

• Team extension – Expand your in-house team with experienced developers.
• Dedicated team – A fully dedicated team that can handle all phases of the development process, from planning to delivery.
• Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) – We build and operate a team for you, then transfer full ownership.

Project-based engagements

• End-to-end projects – We handle the full lifecycle of your product from concept to launch.
• Proof of concept – Validate your ideas quickly with a working prototype.
• Pilot projects – Test a small-scale version of your product before scaling.

Yes. 

You can grow the team when you need more speed or expertise, and scale it down when the workload is lighter. We adjust the setup with you so the team always matches your goals and budget.

Yes, dedicated teams are designed to work collaboratively and integrate seamlessly with your in-house staff.

Our dedicated team can adjust to your workflows and processes and will feel just like an in-house team in no time.

The most useful starting point is a feature list and any planned integrations, as these help us scope the work and prepare an early estimate.

If you also have Figma designs, wireframes, or a product roadmap, we can give you a more accurate estimate with a clear picture of the effort, timeline, and resources required.

Even before a formal meeting, we can provide a very rough ballpark estimate based on this information so you know what to expect before going deeper into planning.
