The problem

Hiring is slow and expensive, runway matters, and you need senior speed — not learning curves.

3–6 months to hire

By the time your own team is in place, half your runway is gone.

Junior risk

Affordable devs lack architecture experience — the code becomes a liability.

Agencies = black box

No code ownership, no knowledge transfer, vendor lock-in risk.
