Production Subscription
Two Feature Modules Per Month. Three Founding Slots Only.
Two production-grade feature modules shipped per month. Same architect across the engagement. Pause anytime. Cancel with 30 days notice. Roadmap reviewed monthly.

The Designjoy pattern, applied to production engineering. Brett Williams ran Designjoy solo from $449/mo (2017) → $5,995/mo (2024) with the same model: a queue, a clear scope-per-period cap, and pause-anytime flexibility that removes the biggest objection in service sales.
Three founding slots exist because one architect cannot deliver more — two feature modules per month per client × three clients = six modules per month of focused output, the realistic delivery ceiling. When the three slots fill, the rate moves to €6,500/mo for new clients (founders keep their €5,000 rate forever). When the waitlist appears, €8,000/mo. When demand exceeds capacity, €10,000/mo. The first three buyers get the cheapest production engineering Soatech will ever offer — and they get it for life.

Opinionated by default
One default stack for 80% of builds. Same stack shipped wintura.ai. Same stack the architect knows cold and has a runbook for at 3 a.m. When you swap pieces, the timeline goes up — the scoping call surfaces the swap before work starts.
Operational rhythm
Not a process for show — the scaffolding that keeps a fixed-price engagement on track when life happens. Same rhythm across every Lift, Sprint, and Pod.
Daily commits
Every weekday, to a branch you can pull and run locally.
End-of-day async videos
3–5 min Loom summarizing decisions and blockers — review on your schedule.
Friday demo on Zoom
30 min walkthrough of what shipped that week — questions answered live.
Slack-first, decisions in 24h
Our workspace and yours linked. Questions get answered in a day, both directions.
Concrete deliverables
No slide deck. No "phase 2 proposal." The list below is what hits your repo, your inbox, and your stack on the last day of the engagement.
Most agencies say "fixed price" and reserve the right to add a change order the moment the brief shifts. Soatech doesn't.
The way fixed price stays honest is by being unreasonable about scope. The scoping doc lists every flow, every screen, every integration. If something isn't on that list, it isn't in this engagement. If you discover during the build that you need it, the current scope ships as planned, and v1.1 begins after handoff — at the next tier's price, or as a follow-on Feature Sprint.
This sounds rigid. In practice founders consistently report it's the most valuable thing about the process — the discipline of saying "v1.1" thirty times across six weeks is what keeps the timeline honest.
Funded B2B SaaS founders who want predictable monthly engineering cost, flexible scope per sprint, and no commitment lock-in. Bolt/Lovable founders post-Production Lift looking for continuity. Indie SaaS at €5–15K MRR ready to scale features.
Teams needing >2 feature modules per month (use Iteration Sprint Standard or Plus). Teams that need sprint rituals (use Iteration Sprint Lite). Teams not ready to commit even to 30-day notice.

Questions, answered
- What does 'founding member rate' actually mean?
- The first three clients to sign Production Subscription lock in €5,000/month for as long as they stay subscribed — no annual price increases, no rate jumps when the public price moves. When the next price tier kicks in (€6,500/mo, then €8,000/mo as demand compounds), founding members keep €5,000.
- What happens when the 3 founding slots are full?
- The price moves to €6,500/mo for new clients. The 3 founding members keep €5,000/mo. As the waitlist grows, the public rate continues to climb (Designjoy went from $449 → $5,995/mo using this exact pattern). Founding members are the cheapest customers Soatech will ever have.
- Can I pause for a month and come back later?
- Yes. Pause anytime for up to 60 days. Your founding rate is preserved. After 60 paused days, you forfeit the founding slot and rejoin at current public rate.
- What's the difference vs Iteration Sprint Lite?
- Iteration Sprint Lite has a 3-sprint minimum (€13,500 committed up-front) and runs on bi-weekly sprint cadence with one feature module per sprint. Production Subscription is month-to-month, cancel anytime, two feature modules per month, queue-based delivery (no sprint rituals). Subscription is for buyers who want predictable cost + flexible scope; Sprint Lite is for buyers who want sprint structure.
- What if I outgrow the 2-modules-per-month cap?
- Upgrade to Iteration Sprint Standard (€7,000 per 2-week sprint = 2–3 modules per sprint × 2 sprints/month = up to 6 modules per month). Production Subscription is the right entry point; Iteration Sprint Standard is the right scaling step.
