BNS engagements look the same whether the client is a national bank or a challenger insurer — because the operating model is the product.
Two-to-four-week discovery with stakeholder mapping, domain whiteboarding, NFR targets and a 90-day delivery runway with explicit kill criteria.
Reference architecture, data contracts, UX flows and platform blueprint signed off with the engineering leader who'll own delivery.
Biweekly production drops behind feature flags, SLO gating, and engineering leadership that owns the outcome — not just the ticket.
Runbooks, on-call rotation, continuous modernisation and team-topology handback on a schedule you set — with BNS staying as close as you want.
No shadow offshoring, no unstaffed bench, no surprise juniors. What we sign for is what you get.
An average BNS pod is six to twelve senior engineers led by an engagement partner and a principal architect, with product and QA embedded. We size pods against the program's critical path, not against utilisation.
With a two-to-four-week discovery — stakeholder mapping, domain whiteboarding, non-functional targets and a 90-day delivery runway. Discovery is usually fixed-price, which keeps commercial conversations simple.
Discovery is typically fixed-price. Delivery runs as outcome-based T&M with cost ceilings; for well-scoped modernisations we also run milestone-based contracts. Fully fixed-price delivery is rare — when we agree to it, we usually regret it, and so do you.
Yes — many of our engagements include a neutral program leadership role alongside an existing SI. We prefer to partner where it makes sense.
BNS works from the United States and co-locates with clients on request. Most engagements are hybrid with senior on-site support planned around the delivery cadence.
Every engagement is designed for handback on day one. We transfer code, IaC, runbooks, dashboards and team topology, and stay in orbit as long as you want — up to a managed engineering contract.
Share the brief; we'll bring the engineers who would run it for a 90-minute working session within five business days.
