ENGINEERING STUDIO · ONE POINT OF CONTACT · NO MIDDLE LAYER

From brief to production in nine weeks, not nine months.

Most software projects fail because nobody owns the work end-to-end. We do, from the first paragraph you send to the production deploy. One point of contact, a small senior team, no project managers between you and the build.

Day 1
Brief

Send what you have, a deck, a doc, voice notes, screenshots. We read everything before our first call.

02
Week 1
Scope

A written scope with milestones, costs, and the risks we see. No 30-page SOW. No discovery theater.

03
Weeks 2 to N
Build

Weekly demos. You watch the work happen. You can change direction with a Slack message, not a change order.

04
Continuous
Review

Code review, security review, design review, done internally, before you ever see it. Quality is non-negotiable.

05
Ship day
Ship

Production deploy, handoff docs, 30-day post-ship support included. Then we get out of the way.

DAY ONE

This is what kickoff looks like.

No two-month discovery phase. By the end of week one you have a written scope, a plan, and infrastructure in CI. Week two we are building.

No 8-week discovery. No 30-page SOW. Plan, apply, ship.

REGULATED-INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Work that holds up to an audit.

A decade of building inside DoD healthcare and federally-contracted programs. The control sets, evidence trails, and review cadence are not new to us.

Healthcare
HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

PHI handling, BAAs, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logs.

Federal
NIST 800-53
Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Systems

Moderate baseline implementation, control-family mapping, evidence collection.

Federal
NIST 800-171
Protecting CUI in Nonfederal Systems

DFARS / CMMC alignment, 110 controls, SSP authoring.

Commercial
SOC 2 Type II
Trust Services Criteria, Security, Availability

Policy authoring, control mapping, audit prep and evidence.

Engagement-level experience aligning to these control sets. Not a claim of personal certification or a third-party attestation of Acme Plexus as a CSP.
WHO IS BUILDING THIS

A small senior team. One point of contact. No middle layer.

Acme Plexus is a small senior team, ten-plus years across DoD healthcare, fintech, and AI infrastructure. Whoever picks up your project stays on your project. You have one point of contact from kickoff to ship, not a chain of handoffs.

No PMs. No account managers. No 'let me check with my team and circle back.' You're talking to the person on the build. When a project needs more hands, we bring in trusted senior contractors we've worked with for years. Never juniors, never offshored, never marked-up.

WHY THIS WORKS

Same output. A different shape.

Traditional agency
Acme Plexus
10-person team, three layers of management
Small senior team, one point of contact
12-week discovery before any work begins
Three-page scope by Friday of week one
Six-figure minimum statement of work
Fixed price, paid against milestones
Junior-staffed delivery, senior cameos
Senior staff from kickoff to ship
Weekly status meetings
Weekly demos of working software
We had three agencies quote the same project. Acme Plexus delivered in less time than the others took to draft a proposal.

Talking to the person who actually writes the code changes the whole conversation. The work was better, the bill was smaller.
