background

We deliver outcomes. Not more headcount.

Spiral Scout helps companies stuck on complex product roadmaps move faster. Whether it’s modernizing legacy systems without disruption, cutting quoting time from days to minutes, or automating QA so you can release weekly instead of monthly, we design, build, and ship outcomes that compound. Our engineers and AI specialists don’t sit idle on project management tickets. We attack bottlenecks that slow your business and leave behind working systems your team can actually use.

    Scouting the Fastest Path from Idea to Execution

    Whether you’re modernizing legacy systems, launching new products, or layering in AI, we move complex software projects from stuck to shipped — faster and with less risk.

    AI That Works Where It Counts

    We focus AI on the workflows that drive revenue, cut costs, or free up your team. No hype — just automation and outcomes you can measure.

    Ship Faster, Scale Smarter

    From backend rebuilds to agent-powered apps, our teams deliver production-grade software that’s built to last, not patched to survive.

    Flexible Engagements, Zero Waste

    Need a full product team or just targeted help? We slot into your roadmap without overhead or bloat.

    Engineers Who Think Like Owners

    Our developers aren’t ticket-takers. They care about outcomes, anticipate issues, and build systems they’d want to maintain themselves.

    Clear Pricing, No Surprises

    Fixed project, retainer, or hourly — whatever the model, you’ll know the cost and deliverables upfront, with the ability to scale up or down.

    Plug-In Talent, Ready to Go

    Vetted engineers aligned with your stack and velocity, able to contribute from day one without slowing your team down.

                                  How We Work with you

                                  We’ve spent 15 years refining a process that balances speed, clarity, and flexibility. Whether you need a fixed-scope project or a long-term team, our approach keeps you in control and focused on outcomes, not micromanaging engineers.

                                  Define Success

                                  We start by understanding your business goals and clarifying what a “win” looks like i.e. speed, savings, revenue lift, or reduced risk.

                                  Scope & Plan

                                  We map outcomes into a clear scope, timeline, and budget. You know exactly what will be delivered and when.

                                  Build & Adapt

                                  Our cross-functional team executes in agile sprints, with transparency into progress and the ability to adapt as priorities shift.

                                  Review & Support

                                  Once delivered, we validate against success criteria, document learnings, and provide ongoing support so outcomes keep compounding.

                                  Outcome-Driven Packages, Built for Growth

                                  Choose the model that matches your goals – fast pilots, flexible pods, or full end-to-end builds. Each comes with transparent pricing, clear deliverables, and tangible results you can measure.

                                  Pilot Projects

                                  Starting at $12k

                                  Get a working outcome in 2–6 weeks. We scope, build, and deliver a functional pilot (like a quoting agent, QA automation, RFP response, GTM accelerator, or workflow automation tool) so you see results fast and can scale with confidence.

                                  • Low risk, fast results
                                  • Best for business and non-technical folks
                                  • Prove value without risk, then expand

                                  Dedicated Teams

                                  Starting at $8K/month

                                  An embedded engineer or pod aligned with your roadmap. Includes devs, QA, and project management, with direct access to Spiral Scout’s AI expertise. Scale up or down as priorities shift.

                                  • Pod = flexible embedded team
                                  • Best for Heads of Engineering
                                  • Predictable monthly pod, aligned to your stack

                                  Full Software Builds

                                  Starting at $25K

                                  From architecture to deployment, we own the entire build. Ideal for modernizing legacy systems, launching new products, or embedding AI at scale. Comes with delivery guarantees and long-term support options.

                                  • Project = end-to-end ownership
                                  • Best for Product Leaders
