Choose Your Engagement.
Three ways to work with InTech Ideas.
Same methodology. Same relationships. Scaled to where you are.
Every pod runs on CRAFT. Every pod is led by a Project Delivery Lead. Every engineer knows your team by name. The only thing that changes between tiers is capacity and engagement model.
Express Pod
Zero to MVP in 30 days.
The Express Pod is a precisely orchestrated 30-day engagement designed to take your idea from concept to deployed product. It's not fast because we cut corners — it's fast because every input is so well-defined that engineering effort is never wasted.
The 30-Day Cadence
Align
Define the intent. Nail the requirements. Build the blueprint. Your PDL works with you to create the Intent Contract — the outcome, the scope, the constraints, and how success will be measured. This is the highest-value week of the entire engagement.
Build
Your engineer executes against a crystal-clear plan using AI-assisted development under the CRAFT methodology. Because the inputs are precisely defined, there is zero wasted motion.
Feedback
You interact with the real product. Your PDL captures feedback, prioritizes it against the original intent, and ensures iteration stays aligned — preventing scope drift while allowing meaningful refinement.
Finalize
Polish, deploy, document. The product is production-ready and you have a clear path forward — whether that's graduating to a Build Pod or operating the MVP independently.
Who It's For
- Founders validating a product concept before committing to full development.
- Enterprise teams that need a rapid proof of concept to secure internal buy-in.
- Organizations launching new digital products and needing speed to market.
- Teams exploring AI-powered features that benefit from fast prototyping.
What's Included
- One engineer, engaged at precisely orchestrated phases under PDL coordination.
- Full support infrastructure: Project Delivery Lead, DevOps, UI/UX, and QA — proportional to the engagement.
- Intent Contract and PRD as part of the Alignment phase.
- A deployed, production-ready MVP at the end of 30 days.
Build Pod
A dedicated engineer. Continuous momentum.
Your product has traction. The MVP proved the concept. Now you need sustained engineering power to build it out properly. The Build Pod gives you one dedicated engineer with continuous availability — always accessible, always progressing the work.
The Engagement Model
Engineering
One full-time dedicated engineer with continuous availability. Exclusively focused on your product. Deep domain context that compounds over time.
Delivery Lead
PDL manages milestones, outcomes, and the flow of work. Ensures engineering effort stays aligned to business objectives — not just feature requests.
Support Resources
Scaled QA, DevOps, and UI/UX proportional to the engineering capacity. Deeper testing cycles, more hands-on infrastructure management, sustained design support.
Methodology
Full CRAFT operating system. Intent Contracts for every milestone. Decision Records for every material choice. Telemetry to measure outcomes.
Relationship
Your engineer is part of your team. On your calls, in your conversations, invested in your product. This is a partnership, not a ticket queue.
Who It's For
- Products graduating from an Express Pod MVP into full buildout.
- Organizations needing sustained engineering capacity for ongoing product development.
- Teams seeking a dedicated engineering partner rather than staff augmentation.
- Products requiring consistent velocity with deep domain context.
Scale Pod
Your product is growing. Your team grows with it.
Complexity is increasing. Your roadmap is expanding. One engineer isn't enough. The Scale Pod gives you a full engineering team — multiple dedicated engineers, a Project Delivery Lead orchestrating across workstreams, and support resources that scale proportionally.
The Engagement Model
Engineering
Multiple full-time dedicated engineers with continuous availability. Each engineer is embedded in your team — not siloed. Specialized roles staffed as product complexity demands.
Delivery Lead
PDL orchestrates across multiple workstreams and engineering resources. Manages priorities, dependencies, and the flow of parallel work.
Support Resources
Fully scaled QA, DevOps, and UI/UX. Proportional to engineering capacity. The entire support infrastructure grows with the pod.
Methodology
Full CRAFT operating system applied consistently across every workstream. Telemetry ensures visibility into outcomes at the portfolio level.
Governance
The CRAFT Control Plane governs cross-workstream dependencies, risk balancing, and portfolio-level intent prioritization. Leadership sees a single dashboard, not status reports.
Who It's For
- Complex platform builds requiring multiple simultaneous workstreams.
- Products scaling from initial build to full-featured platforms.
- High-growth companies requiring engineering capacity that scales with their roadmap.
- Organizations that need a complete, managed delivery team without building an internal engineering org.

The three pods aren't just pricing tiers. They map to the natural lifecycle of a product and the natural evolution of a partnership.
Express
The low-risk entry point. Experience the methodology, see the quality, validate the concept — all within 30 days. This is where trust is built.
Build
The natural graduation. The MVP is live, the methodology is proven, and you're ready to invest in sustained development with a dedicated engineer who already has context.
Scale
The full commitment. The product has traction, complexity is growing, and you need more engineering capacity with the same delivery quality. The entire pod scales up together.
Clients can enter at any tier. But most start with Express—because it's the fastest way to find out if we're the right partner, and the best way to build the relationship before making a larger commitment.
What Every Pod Includes
No matter which pod you choose, the operating system is the same.
CRAFT Methodology
Every engagement follows the full CRAFT operating system. Intent Contracts define the work. Decision Records capture the tradeoffs.
Project Delivery Lead
A dedicated PDL coordinates your engagement — managing milestones, outcomes, and the rhythm of delivery.
AI-Assisted Development
Engineers use AI tooling against well-defined requirements. AI amplifies precision, not replaces judgment.
Eastern Time Alignment
Your engineering team works your hours. Tampa Bay HQ. Panama engineering. All Eastern time.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Most clients begin with an Express Pod.
It's the fastest way to experience how we work—and the best way to build the relationship.
But if you already know what you need, we're happy to skip ahead.
