Documentation
Everything you need to know about working with Oxify Labs — from scoping your first engagement to owning the final codebase.
Studio Overview
Oxify Labs is a technology studio that partners with founders and product teams to build production-grade software. We are not an agency that hands off mockups — we build the systems behind the product.
Every engagement involves the full stack: product thinking, system architecture, engineering execution, and documentation. We are an embedded partner, not a vendor.
How We Work
We work in tight feedback loops. Weekly check-ins, async updates, and shared project tooling keep you informed without slowing us down. Every decision is documented; every system is tested before it ships.
- Communication
- Async-first via Notion + WhatsApp/Slack. Weekly video calls for direction.
- Delivery cadence
- 2-week sprint cycles with demos at each milestone.
- Documentation
- Living docs updated continuously, not as an afterthought.
- Transparency
- You see the same project board we do, always.
First Contact
Getting started is simple. No lengthy intake forms.
- 01Reach out — Email or WhatsApp with a brief description of what you're building and your timeline.
- 02Discovery call — A 30-minute call to understand the problem, constraints, and goals. No pitch — just conversation.
- 03Scoping — We return within 48 hours with a clear scope, timeline, and investment.
- 04Kickoff — SOW signed, access shared, and we start building.
Sprint Engagements
A focused, project-based engagement with a fixed scope and timeline. Best for founders who know what they need and want it done right, fast.
- Duration
- 4–8 weeks
- Pricing
- Project-based, agreed upfront
- Scope
- Single product or feature surface
- Deliverables
- Full source, deployed system, living docs
Studio Partner
An ongoing retainer for teams that need a real engineering partner. We become an extension of your team — attending planning sessions, making architectural decisions, and building continuously.
- Commitment
- Monthly retainer with dedicated capacity
- Cadence
- Continuous builds, monthly roadmap sessions
- Response time
- Priority — same or next business day
- Best for
- Growing products that need consistent engineering velocity
Foundation Builds
For complex, infrastructure-heavy systems that need to be designed and built from the ground up. Think multi-service architectures, compliance-critical systems, or platforms expected to serve millions.
- Pricing
- Custom — scoped per project
- Timeline
- 3–12+ months depending on scope
- Team model
- Embedded partnership with dedicated leads
- Includes
- Architecture review, compliance readiness, SLA-backed delivery
01 — Scope
Before a single line of code is written, we align on objectives, constraints, and edge cases. A clear scope prevents scope creep and ensures every decision serves the product goal. This phase typically takes 48 hours.
- Problem definition
- Success criteria
- Technical constraints
- Risk identification
- Timeline and milestones
02 — Design
System architecture before system code. We design every data flow, interface boundary, and integration point upfront. This is where we prevent the expensive surprises that show up at scale.
- System architecture diagram
- Data model design
- API contract definition
- Technology selection rationale
- Infrastructure planning
03 — Build
Iterative, observable, tested. Real code with real feedback loops. No throwaway work at any stage. We build in 2-week cycles with demos at each milestone.
- TypeScript / Python — always typed
- Test coverage from day one
- CI/CD pipeline configured
- Observability built in
- Weekly progress demos
04 — Ship
Production deployment, fully monitored and documented. We hand over completely — you own it, run it, and extend it. No lock-in.
- Production deployment
- Monitoring and alerting configured
- Full documentation
- Access credentials transferred
- 30-day post-launch support window
What You Receive
Every engagement ends with a complete handoff package:
- Full source code in a repository you own
- Deployed, running production environment
- Architecture documentation with diagrams
- API documentation (where applicable)
- Environment setup guide
- Runbook for common operational tasks
- Test suite with coverage reports
Source Ownership
You own everything we build for you. No licensing fees, no lock-in, no clauses that prevent you from modifying or redistributing your own product. Upon final payment, all intellectual property transfers to you completely.
Living Docs
Documentation at Oxify Labs is not an afterthought. Every system ships with documentation that is maintained throughout the engagement — not written in a rush during the final week.
- Format
- Notion workspace shared with your team during the engagement
- Content
- Architecture decisions, API specs, runbooks, and onboarding guides
- Maintenance
- Updated continuously as the system evolves
- Ownership
- Fully exported and transferred at handoff
