We build it. We run it. Then we hand you the keys.
A team or platform stood up and operated by us, then transferred to you with people, processes and knowledge intact.
One call with a senior engineer. A straight answer on what it would take.
Where you are. Where you’ll be.
You need this if
- You want an in-house capability but can't wait 18 months to build it
- You've been locked in by a provider before
- A new market or product line needs a team quickly
What changes for your business
- Speed of a partner, ownership of an in-house team
- Risk carried by us during the hardest phase
- A clean handover with no lock-in
What we hand over
- Team and platform build with agreed targets
- Stabilized operations under our management
- Documented processes, runbooks and knowledge base
- Structured transfer of people, tools and contracts
What it is
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) is a contract model in which a partner builds a team or platform, runs it until it meets agreed targets, then hands over everything, including people, code, accounts and documentation. It trades a fast start for a planned exit, so the client ends up owning the capability.
BOT gives you speed now and ownership later. We build the team or platform, operate it until it's stable and hitting its targets, then transfer everything: staff, tooling, documentation and runbooks. Transfer criteria are agreed up front, so there's no surprise dependency on us when the contract ends.

How it runs
- 01
Diagnose
Typically 2–4 weeksWe map the problem, your data and your systems, and agree the one number that defines success.
- 02
Prove
Typically 4–8 weeksA working pilot on your real data, measured against that number. Not a slide demo.
- 03
Ship
Scoped to the outcomeProduction build with security, monitoring, cost controls and documentation included, not upsold.
- 04
Run
Ongoing, optionalWe operate what we built against clear service levels, or train your team to. Your call. No lock-in.
Questions you’ll ask
- When does BOT make sense?
- When you want an in-house capability but can't wait a year or more to recruit and stabilize it yourself, such as a new product line, a new market or a capability you've outsourced and want back.
- How do you prevent lock-in?
- Transfer criteria are written into the contract from the start: what must be documented, which metrics must be met, and how staff move across. You can trigger the transfer once they're met.
- What exactly is transferred?
- The people, if they choose to move, plus code, infrastructure, accounts, documentation, runbooks and vendor contracts. Nothing stays in our name.
