03 — How we work

Three steps, in writing.No 18-month discovery phase.

  1. Scope

    We map your workflow together and agree on what to build, what it costs, and when it ships.

  2. Build

    You see working software in weekly demos, tested against the inputs your team uses every day.

  3. Launch and support

    We connect it to your business, document how it works, and support your team after launch.

About

I'm Will Rowston, and Inference Partners is just me. I build custom software and websites for businesses of three to fifty people who have outgrown off-the-shelf tools, and for founders who need someone technical in the room.

Plenty of small businesses have been burned by an agency that disappeared after the invoice. So the person on your scope call is the person writing your software, showing it to you every week, and supporting it after launch. No handoffs.

Start with a 15-minute scope call. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you.
