The price
Configure the package, and the price moves with you
Configure the package
The price moves with every choiceHow you engage
You choose each seat's monthly hours and the commitment curve prices it: more hours, better hourly rate. Capacity changes monthly on one month's notice.
Capacity per seat
Lower capacity is not a proportional discount: recruiting cost, social security and leave accrual do not shrink with the hours, so the hourly rate rises as the commitment falls. The full price curve is on each role's page.
Where the engineer sits
The engineer sits in our Amman office with their team and works in your tools and channels. This is the default and the fastest to start.

Half a seat means half the hours on the commitment curve, not half the price: the role is needed but does not fill a working week.

The delivery playbook
The first ninety days, written in advance
Not marketing promises; this is how we actually run this kind of package. If we drift from it, this text is what you hold us to.
Week one
The cutting week
The product manager spends week one deleting features, not collecting them. A first version with everything in it arrives late and proves nothing.
Weeks 2 to 4
Design and build in parallel
Design runs exactly one week ahead of the build. Design two months ahead produces beautiful files about a product that changed.
Weeks 3 to 8
A demo every Friday
A working build every week and an explicit call every week: continue, change, or cut. You are in that meeting, not in a summary of it.
Month two
Real users, early
A closed version in front of real users before everything is finished. One note from a real user outweighs ten internal meetings.
Month three
Launch, and the decision after it
Launch with metrics that answer your business question. Then the explicit decision: grow the team, hold it, or hand it to your own hires with a written handover.
The subscription
What every month includes
A written weekly note
What landed, what got stuck, what is next, readable in two minutes. No extra meeting unless you ask for one.
A monthly steering call
Thirty minutes with you: priorities, levels, team size. Cancelled when there is nothing worth it; your time beats our rituals.
Leave visible in advance
Team leave and Jordanian holidays in a calendar you see weeks ahead, not in an apology on delivery morning.
The replacement guarantee, ongoing
Not only the first thirty days. An engineer who stops being right gets replaced in any month, and a vacant seat is never invoiced.
One invoice line per seat
One monthly invoice, one line per seat, no surprises and no hidden fees. The number we agreed is the number that arrives.
A level review each quarter
Is the level you pay for still the right one? Sometimes we advise down and lose invoice value, because the renewal matters more to us than the margin.
In every package
What is included, and what we do not promise
Included
- The engineer is a Folowise employee on a formal Jordanian contract, not a loose contractor.
- The final interview is yours, and you can say no without explaining.
- Machine, licences, office and connectivity are on us.
- Replacement inside the first thirty days with no invoice for the vacant seat.
- IP assigns to you through a written assignment per deliverable.
Not promised
- We do not guarantee the same engineer forever. People resign, and the replacement cost sits with us, not you.
- We do not hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and we will not imply otherwise.
- We do not sell "the top 1%". Nobody can evidence that number, us included.
FAQ
Before you order
01Who runs the team day to day, you or us?
It depends on the model. On staff augmentation and a dedicated team you run it as part of your company. On a managed team we run it and you receive the outcome. The package suggests the best fit; the call is yours.
02Can I change the package after we start?
Yes, monthly. Add a seat, remove one, or change its level on one month's notice. The package is a starting point, not a contractual cage.
03What if I need to pause?
On one month's notice you can shrink or end the package. We do not sell a "pause" that holds seats free of charge, because the engineers are employees on real salaries, and anyone promising that is paying for it out of engineer quality.
04Do I interview the engineers before we start?
Always. We send anonymised profiles, you pick who to meet, and the final interview is yours with the right to say no without explaining. Nobody starts on your team whom you did not approve.
