The roadmap moves faster than hiring does.
A Monthly Capacity Commitment: a standing quantity of story points delivered against your roadmap every month, re-prioritized in any Priority Sync, with capacity that moves as the roadmap does.
- From 80 points a month
- Re-prioritize at any Priority Sync
- Unused points bank for 90 days
The problem
A fixed bid is the right purchase when the scope holds still. Some roadmaps do not. You know the next quarter roughly, the quarter after that loosely, and the thing you will actually build in March has not been thought of yet.
Forcing that into a fixed scope produces a document everyone stops believing by week three. Then a change order every fortnight. Hiring against it is slower and much harder to reverse.
A Monthly Capacity Commitment prices throughput instead of scope. You commit to a monthly point capacity. What those points buy gets decided in the Priority Sync, as late as possible.
- Priorities re-cut every cycle, at no cost and with no renegotiation
- Capacity moves up or down as the roadmap does
- A month under the commitment banks the difference for 90 days
What this Pod ships
Continuous delivery
Work reaches production as soon as it clears its quality gate, often several times a week. The cycle is a planning rhythm, not a release date.
Quality inside the price
Scenarios written from the spec before the build, enforced as merge gates. QA is not a separate line item.
A weekly capacity report
Points consumed against items shipped, so throughput is a number you can audit rather than a feeling.
Monitoring that feeds the backlog
Production issues arrive as prioritized items rather than as a separate support conversation.
What happens to capacity you do not use
A month that lands under the commitment banks the difference. A heavier month draws that balance down before anything extra is invoiced. Banked points carry forward on a rolling 90 days.
They are not redeemable for cash and they are forfeited if the engagement ends.
A month, drawn
What it costs
Capacity is bought in tiers, from a single delivery lane at 80 to 100 points a month up to ten or more lanes from 800 points. A lane commits at the lower bound and typically delivers above it, so the commitment is a floor rather than a forecast.
You are never billed per AI call, per token, or per seat. The point is the only unit.
- Starter: 1 lane, 80 to 100 points a month
- Growth: 3 lanes, 240 to 300 points a month
- Scale: 5 to 7 lanes, 400 to 700 points a month
- Enterprise: 10 or more lanes, from 800 points a month
When this is the wrong answer
If you have an internal engineering team, a backlog you already own, and you need capacity you direct yourself, this is the wrong shape. That is Staff Augmentation, at an agreed hourly rate, with you directing the work.
