01
Priority and capacity
One owner orders the backlog. We agree a working window and the capacity I can reserve.
Software development retainer for agencies and B2B teams
A development retainer for a changing backlog: improvements, integrations, reviews and QA. Before starting, we agree available capacity, prioritisation, work records and when usage is reviewed.
- Initial review of scope, access and timing.
- Presales, technical blocker or delivery peak.
- Accepted delivery and documented handoff.
Evidence from comparable work
The public cases show diagnostic work, integration experience and preproduction stabilization.
Review the case and delivered scope+DERA diagnostic: 203 documented backend/API calls and 23 prioritized actions.
SDK and integration work: APIs, examples and documentation designed for partners.
Mobile stabilization: contracts, critical flows, QA and release before production.
What we agree before opening a retainer
Terms are recorded in the proposal; a retainer does not reserve unlimited availability.
02
Visible usage
Work recorded per intervention, estimates before larger tasks and notice when a request changes scope.
03
Period review
Review delivered and pending work. Expiry, carryover and urgent work are agreed explicitly.
Common Questions
The minimum worth clarifying before opening a collaboration.
Can you work completely white-label?+
Yes. I can stay behind the agency, work under NDA and adapt to the agency's channels and rules.
What do you need to assess a delivery?+
Objective, timing, current state, validation owner and the technical piece blocking delivery. With that I can orient the next step.
Can you join a project that is already started?+
Yes. That is a common case: review the base, take ownership of a concrete part and leave the exit documented.
What happens with code and documentation?+
It stays inside the agreed agency frame. The delivery is left ready to publish, maintain or transfer to the right team.
Keep Comparing
If you are still comparing options, these routes help narrow the decision.
If it fits, start with context.
With objective, timing, current state and the technical blocker, I can reply with the next step.
