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](/en/cases/maderaplus-technical-diagnostic)

+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.

01

### Priority and capacity

One owner orders the backlog. We agree a working window and the capacity I can reserve.

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.

## If it fits, start with context.

With objective, timing, current state and the technical blocker, I can reply with the next step.
