§ About est. 2024 · davie, fl
A small practice running software for forty-one businesses.
We started Cofactor because we kept seeing the same shape of problem in our consulting work: a small business with real software needs, a budget that didn't justify a full-time engineer, and a Squarespace site that had hit its ceiling two years ago. We thought a flat-fee service contract — built around AI agents and a small senior team — was a better answer than another $40,000 quote.
§ 01 — Principles
Six rules we won't break, even when a client asks.
- 01
Flat fees, not hourly.
Hourly billing rewards slowness. Annual fees reward shipping. We pick shipping.
- 02
One named human accountable.
Every account has a senior engineer or CTO whose name and number you have. The agent fleet works for them, not for you.
- 03
Boring stack on purpose.
Postgres, Rails, a queue, a single region until you need more. Novelty in the AI layer; reliability everywhere else.
- 04
No agent ships unsupervised.
A senior engineer signs every merge. We've tested the alternative; we wrote about what we found.
- 05
Honest pricing.
No "starting at," no per-seat surcharges, no enterprise sales tax. The price on the page is the price.
- 06
Easy to leave.
Standard formats, clean export, 60-day transition support. Lock-in is a feature for the seller, never the buyer.
§ 02 — The team
Four humans. About sixty agents on the payroll.
