Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a micro-application?
An AI-generated micro-application is a focused software solution created using our proprietary AI-accelerated development process that does one thing exceptionally well. Instead of trying to solve every problem with a massive system, we build targeted applications that perfect a single business function.
How does the 30/60/90 framework work?
Free 30-day discovery to scope your needs. Sign the contract and start paying $2,500/month (or agreed amount). We deliver your working application by day 60. Same monthly fee continues and includes hosting, support, security updates, and annual feature requests. One simple all-inclusive subscription.
How can you deliver within the 30/60/90 framework?
By focusing on one function and using AI-accelerated development with integrated business teams, we eliminate 70% of traditional development time. No scope creep, no feature bloat—just the essential functionality you need.
How do you ensure data security?
We implement enterprise-grade security from day one: encrypted data transmission, secure authentication, regular security audits, and compliance with industry standards. Your data remains completely under your control.
Can applications work together?
Absolutely. While each application stands alone, we design them to integrate seamlessly. Add a unified dashboard and data warehouse to see all your business metrics in one place.
What's included in the monthly subscription?
Everything. Your monthly fee includes development (first 60 days), hosting, security updates, bug fixes, monitoring, email support, and annual feature updates. No separate development fees, no surprise costs. You own the code and can cancel anytime, but most clients stay because the ongoing value far exceeds the cost.
How is this different from hiring a development team?
Most developers understand the technical requirements but lack deep business domain expertise. We bring 20+ years of C-suite experience navigating complex enterprise workflows, combined with AI-enhanced development. You get both the business strategy and technical execution in one solution.
Why not use a no-code platform like Zapier or Power Platform?
No-code platforms force you to adapt your proven business processes to generic templates. We build solutions exactly for your workflows, not 'close enough' approximations. You own the code, control your data, and get precisely what your business needs.
What if we just live with our current manual processes?
The cost of inefficient workflows compounds monthly. While you're manually processing data for 8+ hours per week, competitors are using that time for strategic initiatives. Our 60-day delivery removes the 'big project' fear, and you'll see ROI within 90 days.
