Aurum Collective is a small studio that drops into indie and SMB engineering teams for scoped, fixed-fee work — typically a 2–4 week engagement, one clear deliverable, code you own at the end. No retainer. No "AI-built in a weekend." No unsupervised access to your production infra.
A self-contained feature, API integration, or internal tool — scoped, estimated, and delivered on a fixed date.
Your team is one sprint short. We take a prioritized slice off your board and close it.
A deployable marketing site or thin MVP with a real URL and basic observability — fast.
A gnarly bug, a perf cliff, or a migration you keep deferring. Bounded, with a written handoff.
Stack: TypeScript/Python on the edge (Astro, FastAPI, Cloudflare). We pick boring, reversible tech so you're never locked in.
Not a fit: we don't do long-term staff augmentation, we don't take over your production systems unsupervised, and we don't pitch "AI will replace your team." We ship a defined thing, on time, and hand you the code.
Most engagements land in the middle of the band. Final scope is fixed in writing before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay. No change-order creep.
