Know what you'll get, when, and for how much — before you pay a rupeea cent.
The TCD process is built to remove the three things that ruin software projects: surprise costs, missed deadlines and silence. Here's exactly how it works — and what you'll see at every step.
Three problems. Designed out.
"It'll cost a bit more than we said."
Vague quotes grow every month — and you're too deep in to walk away.
"Almost done… just two more weeks."
Without milestones, "almost done" can last for months.
"I haven't heard from the developer."
Not knowing what's happening is the most stressful part of any project.
Follow a project from call to launch.
Scroll down — each step shows what happens, what we need from you, and a real example of what you'll receive.

Design & approve
We design every screen and turn it into a clickable prototype. Click through it, show your team, ask for changes. Development starts only when you say "yes, this is it" — so nothing gets built that you haven't seen.
⏱ typically 1–3 weeks- Click through the prototype
- Tell us what to change
- Clickable prototype
- Changes until you approve
Build — with a demo every week
We build in short cycles. Every week you get a link to real, working software — not a status report. Spot something? Tell us now, not after launch.
⏱ the longest step — depends on scope- ~15 minutes a week to try the demo
- Quick feedback on WhatsApp
- A working demo every week
- Replies within 24 hours
Test & launch
We test on real phones and browsers, move your data in, and launch on the agreed date. Then we walk your team through it so everyone's comfortable from day one.
⏱ on the date in your quote- Final thumbs-up
- Introduce us to your team
- Live software, data moved in
- Team walkthrough + guide
Care & grow
Software is never "done". We stay on for fixes, updates and new features as your business grows — handled by the same team that built it. What ongoing support looks like is agreed upfront.
⏱ ongoing, as you need it- Tell us what you need next

Your rough plan
This is an estimate to help you plan. Your exact scope, fixed price and launch date come in writing after the free scoping call.

Never everything upfront. Payments are tied to milestones you can see and approve — the exact split is in your written quote.
You've seen the plan, price and date in writing.
You've clicked through and approved every screen.
You've tried working software, week after week.
It's live, your data is in and your team is trained.
Three promises. In writing.
Fixed written quote
The price we agree is the price you pay. It only changes if you ask for more — and we quote that separately before doing it.
Free scoping call
Talk through your idea, or let us review your current system, at no cost and no obligation.
Reply within 24 hours
Every message gets a real answer from the people building your software. No ticket queues, no ghosting.
What if I want to change something mid-way?
Changes during design are free — that's what the prototype is for. If you want to add something new during the build, we quote it separately so you always decide with the full picture. Small tweaks within scope (like the transport-charge example above) are simply part of the weekly demos.
What if the project runs late?
You'd know early — weekly demos make progress visible, so there are no last-minute surprises. If something on our side affects the date, you hear it from us first, with a plan.
How much of my time will this take?
Very little: one scoping call, reviewing the prototype, about 15 minutes a week for demos, and a final thumbs-up before launch.
Will my data be safe?
Yes. We use secure hosting, encrypted connections, proper logins and access levels, and regular backups. We're happy to sign an NDA before you share anything.
Do I have to sign up for anything to get a quote?
No. The scoping call and quote are free with no obligation. You decide after you've seen the plan, price and launch date.
