Two engines. One studio.
Caipher ships custom software, including AI agents, automations, and full applications, for businesses that need more than off-the-shelf can deliver. We also build and operate a portfolio of products of our own.
Custom software for clients. Operated products of our own. Same team builds both, which is why we know what holds up in production.
Five products in the studio. Some shipped from client work, some built from scratch. All operated by Caipher.
No fake testimonials. Real shipped work, real numbers, customers in countries we haven't visited.
A defined project. An ongoing engineering function. Or a fractional lead embedded inside your company. Read it as a sequence — most clients move up the ladder as the work compounds.
A defined deliverable, shipped on time.
Custom software, AI agents, automations, or applications scoped against a clear outcome. Written spec inside one week — or we tell you the project should not happen.
Ongoing engineering on call.
Continuous build, maintenance, and evolution of your software, applications, and AI stack. Same senior team, week after week. Pause or cancel any month.
An embedded lead inside your company.
A fractional engineering lead inside your team. Strategy, architecture, hiring, hands-on build. Reports into your CEO or board.
A spec, a deadline, a clear outcome. We build it, hand off documentation, and you own it. Most engagements start here.
Same team, predictable cadence, no rebuild. Most Build clients move into Retain inside three months. It's the natural next step.
We embed a senior lead inside your team to set technical direction, hire engineers, and ship the foundational product alongside your CEO.
Spec before code. Milestones every week. Production handoff with documentation. Scroll down — each stage takes the screen.
A focused conversation. What you're building. What off-the-shelf can't do.
We listen, we ask the hard questions. Goal is to leave the call knowing whether the project should happen, what success looks like, and what the next step is. No proposal-shaped sales pitch.
A written brief inside a week. Scope, architecture, milestones, working definitions.
Or we tell you the project should not happen. The spec is short, concrete, and binding for both sides. Includes weekly milestones, acceptance criteria, and the explicit list of things we will not build.
Spec to working software. Weekly milestones. Working software, every week.
Production-grade from day one, not after a separate hardening sprint. We ship a demo every week. You log into staging on Friday. No screenshots, no slide decks pretending to be progress.
Deploy to production with documentation, handoff materials, and the operating runbook your team will actually use.
Final week is dedicated to handoff. Docs are written as we go, not retrofitted. Operational runbook covers every alert, every fail-state, every recovery path. You own the code on day one of week one.
Optional. If the project keeps growing, we move you to a Retain engagement. If not, we hand over the keys cleanly.
A lot of clients move into Retain after the first ship. The team and the code are already loaded. Predictable monthly cadence, capped hours, same senior engineers. Pause or cancel any month.
Tell us what you are trying to build, what off-the-shelf cannot do, and what timeline you are working against. We send back a written spec inside a week or we tell you the project should not happen.
