MaxQ

A studio for
the particular.

We take on a handful of projects at a time. The work requires us to understand your business, and understanding takes focus.

FAQ

Common questions

The things people usually ask before signing anything.

You should try. Seriously. AI makes output cheap (not free, those credits add up). But output isn’t a product. At some point someone has to decide which of the infinite options is actually right, and that’s a different skill than generating them. We’ve taken ideas from napkin to acquisition. That pattern recognition, knowing what matters at each stage, is what you’re hiring. AI is part of how we work. The judgment is why.

Audit, strategy, build, handoff. You get clear scope and pricing before we write a line of code, weekly updates while we do, and everything at the end: code, assets, documentation.

Founders and product leads at companies between 2 and 200 people. The sweet spot is teams with momentum that need coherence.

Two to twelve weeks. We scope it honestly before we start.

Engagements start at $5,000 for a focused sprint. Most land between $15K and $40K. Everything is scoped to a deliverable, not billed by the hour.

Your tools, your cadence, your channels. We plug in; we don’t reorganize.

If the foundation is solid, we improve it. If it’s not, we say so and scope a path forward.
