How We Work — Neuron HQ builds your app in ~2 weeks, code reviewed line by line Skip to main content
How we work

You describe it. We ship it. A senior engineer reviews every line.

Here is exactly how a build runs, start to finish. Six stages, one fixed price, no surprise change orders. A senior engineer reviews every line, so you get a system you can actually run a business on. Your first working version is live in about two weeks, and you walk away owning 100% of the code.

Fixed price · You own the code · First version in ~2 weeks · Every line human-reviewed
Time
~2 weeks

From the first scoping call to a working first version your customers can actually use.

Effort
Done-for-you

You describe the outcome. We handle design, code, security, and deploy. No tutorials, no glue code.

Risk
You own it

Full code, repo, and docs handed over. Fixed price. Every line reviewed by a senior engineer before it ships.

The non-negotiable

A senior engineer reviews every single line before it reaches you.

This is the part most "AI app" shops skip — and it is the whole reason we exist. Software can be built quickly now, but speed is worthless if the code is unsafe. So we never ship code nobody has read. A senior engineer reads, tests, and hardens every change, the same bar you'd expect from a serious engineering team.

We build the first version
Fast scaffolding, powered by our Neuron engine.

A human reviews every line
Correctness, security, edge cases — caught before you see it.
Only then does it ship
Built fast, reviewed line by line. That's the standard.
100%
of the code we ship is reviewed line by line.
Simple standard: a senior engineer reads every line and is accountable for it before it reaches your users.
The process, in depth

Six stages from your idea to live software.

No mystery, no black box. Here is precisely what happens at each step — what we do, what we ask of you, and what you get out the other side.

01
🗣️

Describe & scope

You tell us the outcome you want in plain English — the problem, who it's for, and what "done" looks like. We turn that into a clear, fixed scope: the core features of your first version, what's in, what's deliberately out, and the fixed price. You approve it before any code is written.

  • A scoping conversation — no spec document required from you
  • A written scope: features, boundaries, and fixed price
  • You sign off before we start — no surprise change-orders
You provide
The idea and the goal. That's it.

Architect

Before building, a senior engineer designs the system: the data model, the screens and flows, authentication, and how it deploys. Good architecture up front is what keeps a two-week build from turning into a six-month mess — and what lets the app grow later without a rewrite.

  • Data model and core flows mapped
  • Auth, database, and hosting decided up front
  • A plan the build follows — not figured out mid-flight
You provide
Answers to a few clarifying questions.

A senior engineer reviews every change

This is the core of how we work. We build fast, but nothing ships unreviewed. A senior engineer reads every change for correctness, security, and edge cases, refactors anything weak, and tests it before it moves forward. You get speed with the judgment of an experienced engineer, which is exactly the gap that makes most raw "vibe-coded" apps risky to run in production.

  • Built on our Neuron engine, reviewed by a senior engineer
  • Senior-engineer review on every line — the non-negotiable
  • Weak or unsafe code is rewritten, not shipped
built fast, reviewed line by line
We refuse that trade-off — the review is built into the price, every time.

🛡️

Test & secure

Every build goes through a dedicated security review before it's allowed near real users. We check the things AI commonly gets wrong: authentication and access control, input handling, and how secrets and user data are stored.

  • Security review: auth, access control, data handling
  • Core flows tested end-to-end on a real, cleared state
  • No fake data — every account starts fresh and isolated

Deploy & hand over

We deploy your app to production and hand over everything: the full source code, the repository, and plain-English documentation so you (or any future developer) can run, change, and own it. There is no lock-in. You don't rent your software from us — you own it outright the moment it ships.

  • Live deployment your customers can use
  • Full code + repo + docs transferred to you
  • 30 days of support included on the Launch build
You get
100% ownership — code, repo, and docs.

Care & evolve

Software is never "done." Once you're live, our optional Care plan keeps things moving: ongoing changes, monitoring, fixes, and small new features — each one still reviewed by a senior engineer. Pause or cancel anytime, and you always keep the code. Want a bigger second version? That scopes as its own fixed-price build.

  • Ongoing changes, monitoring, and fixes
  • New features — same senior-review standard
  • Pause or cancel anytime; you keep the code
Optional
See the Care plan on pricing.
What you own

When we hand over, you own 100% of it.

No subscriptions to keep the lights on, no proprietary platform holding your product hostage. Here's exactly what's yours — and what stays our job, not yours.

Yours to keep
  • The full source code — every file, unobfuscated
  • The repository, with its complete history, transferred to you
  • Plain-English documentation for running and changing it
  • The live, deployed app your customers use
  • The freedom to take it to any developer, anytime — no lock-in
Our job, not yours
  • Architecting the system so it scales without a rewrite
  • Writing the code and reviewing every line for security
  • Testing the flows and deploying to production
  • Ongoing care, monitoring, and fixes — if you want it

Every build: you own 100% of the code. Fixed price, no surprise change-orders.

Timeline

First working version in about two weeks.

Here's how a typical first-version (Launch) build flows. Larger, multi-feature apps are scoped per project — but the rhythm is the same: scope, architect, build-and-review, secure, ship.

DAYS 1–2
Describe & scope
Scoping call, written scope, fixed price agreed, and architecture designed.
DAYS 3–10
Build & review
We build the app; a senior engineer reviews every line as it's written.
DAYS 11–14
Secure, ship & hand over
Security review, end-to-end testing, deploy, and full code + repo + docs handover.
After launch — optional Care
Ongoing changes, monitoring, fixes, and new features — same senior-review standard. Pause or cancel anytime; you keep the code.

Why we built it this way

Maximum outcome, minimum risk.

Every part of this process exists to push one thing up — your idea, live as real software — while pushing time, effort, and risk down.

🎯
The dream outcome

Your idea, live as real software your customers use. Stop duct-taping five tools together and own one system that does the job. That's what ships at the end of these six stages — not a prototype, a product.

⏱️
Less time

A working first version in ~2 weeks, because AI handles the heavy lifting and the architecture is set up front.

🪶
Less effort

Done-for-you. You describe it; we design, build, secure, and deploy it. No tutorials, no glue code, no DevOps.

🛡️
Less risk

A senior engineer reviews every line and runs a dedicated security pass before launch, so nothing reaches your users unreviewed.
