Client Engagements · Open

We're taking on five founding clients.

A founding-rate engagement that runs the full FORGE methodology — seven specialist agents, ten quality gates, shipped on a fixed-scope quote. The first five get the deepest discount, the most direct founder access, and their project published as a reference build.

Why Client Engagements

New operation. Serious system.

Routiine LLC is new — deliberately. We published our methodology before we opened the door. FORGE — the AI-native dev infrastructure that runs every engagement — is documented publicly. The standards, the quality gates, the decision-record template, the handoff protocol: all published at routiine.io/forge.

Every engagement starts with a free, founder-led consultation. You get a candid assessment of fit, likely scope, risks, and the most useful next step before making a commitment.

Our bar is straightforward: if we commit, we ship. If we miss the agreed scope on the agreed timeline, the balance is waived. That is the founder-backed guarantee, and it is the reason the discount is designed to align risk with delivery.

What Client Engagements Get

Five guarantees. In writing.

01

Free Consultation

The consultation is free and carries no obligation. If Routiine is a fit, the next step is documented in writing before work begins.

02

Open Methodology

FORGE is published. Seven specialist agents, ten quality gates, every decision record — you see the system before you hire us. No black-box workflow.

03

Ship-or-Pay Guarantee

Fixed-scope quote in writing. If we miss the scope on the agreed timeline, you do not pay the balance. The quality gates exist so the work is right on first delivery.

04

Founder-Led, Full Team

Every engagement runs through the founder. No account manager. No handoff to a junior. The FORGE pipeline is the team — architect, backend, frontend, QA, security, DevOps — all on your build.

05

100% Code Ownership

At handoff: source code, architecture decision records, runbooks, and every account key. No vendor lock-in. You could replace us with another team the next day.

Fit Criteria

Are you a founding-client fit?

You have a clear, consequential problem and authority to explore a solution — even if the scope is still fuzzy.

You can commit 2–4 hours per week to scoping, reviews, and milestone sign-offs.

You are comfortable letting the engagement be published (anonymized if you prefer) as a reference build.

You want a software partner, not a ticket queue — a team that stays in the build until it ships.
