Product Sustenance
Keeping a shipped product running, evolving, and not slowly turning into tech debt.
Sustenance is the work after launch — the bug fixes, the small features, the dependency upgrades, the migrations that need a senior hand. Most products don't die from bad ideas; they die from a year of nobody maintaining them.
We pick up sustenance for products we built, and occasionally for ones we didn't. Either way the engagement is structured: a capped monthly retainer, a clear ticket queue, a weekly demo, no surprises on the invoice.

[ FAQ ]
Quick answers.
Will you sustain a product you didn't build?
Yes, after a paid 1-week audit. We need to read the code, the deploy story, and the on-call before we'll commit.
Need product sustenance?
Tell us what you're trying to ship. Two-week paid discovery is the standard starting point.
