Two stalled agencies, one rebuild — shipped in eight weeks.

Two prior agencies had spent nine months on a rebuild that hadn’t moved past discovery. The team had three half-finished schemas, no path to multi-tenancy, and a board meeting in eight weeks. We were brought in for a two-week diagnostic — and stayed for the rebuild.

We treated the eight-week window as a hard constraint and worked backward from the demo. Multi-tenancy via Postgres row-level security was non-negotiable; everything else was scoped to fit the runway.

• Schema modeled around tenant_id from the first migration — RLS policies enforced at the database, not in code.
• Stripe metered billing wired into the business logic before the first paying tenant signed.
• Auth on Clerk, RBAC down to the row, audit logs scoped to the SOC 2 readiness brief.
• CI green, preview deploys per PR, and observability across logs, metrics, and traces from week one.

First paying tenant live week eight, four more onboarded by week eleven. The platform now serves 47 tenants on a single deployment with zero per-tenant infra. The engineering team owns 100% of the code — every line, every key, every cloud account — and we’ve stayed on as advisors, not operators.
