A senior systems partner on a monthly retainer. AI, data, marketing platforms, Salesforce, and web — scoped by deliverables, month to month. No hourly billing, ever.
You run a small or mid-size company and the systems side of the business — AI, data, marketing platforms, the website — needs senior attention it isn't getting. The work is real, but it doesn't add up to a full-time role.
So you're choosing between a $150K+ full-time hire you're not sure you need, an agency that hands you to a junior team after the kickoff call, or stretching people who already have day jobs. None of those scale well. A retainer with one senior partner does.
Same senior partner at every tier. What changes is how much ships each month.
A senior systems partner, on retainer. For operators who need senior judgment on call, not a build team yet.
A senior partner who ships every month. For operators with a backlog of real opportunities.
A standing build partner across your entire stack. For operators scaling systems across the whole company.
Month to month. Deliverable-based. Scope flexes with platform complexity and number of business units.
A full-time senior hire who covers AI, data, and marketing platforms runs $150,000 or more per year — before benefits, ramp-up time, and the risk of a bad fit. A full year at the top tier of the Forge costs less than half of that, and you can stop any month.
Everything we build ships to production and stays supported. Success is measured against KPIs we agree on up front.
Not slides, not prototypes that die at the demo. Systems that run inside your business, monitored and maintained, measured against numbers we both signed up for.
First win in production inside 30 days.
We map your platforms, data, and workflows, and identify where the leverage is.
A prioritized roadmap, and agreement on the numbers we'll measure the work against.
The first build goes into production — something your team uses, not a document.
Shipped work every month, measured against the KPIs, re-prioritized as the business moves.
The boundaries are part of why the model works.
Not everything needs a retainer. Two other ways to work with us:
Fixed-scope engagements with clear milestones. Migrations, implementations, integrations, custom builds. You know the price and the deliverables before we start.
A 45-minute working call plus a written one-page summary with observations and recommendations. No obligation to continue. If we're a fit, we'll tell you. If not, you leave with something useful.
Hourly billing rewards slow work. Every engagement is scoped by deliverables, so the faster the work gets done, the more both sides benefit. You know what you're getting and what it costs before anything starts.
No long-term contract and no minimum term. Give notice and the retainer ends at the close of the month, with everything we've built documented and running in your accounts.
The Alloy12 team. The senior partner you meet in sales is the same one who builds, ships, and supports the work. Like any good alloy, there's no filler — no handoff to a junior or offshore team after the kickoff call.
Yes. Scope up when there's a backlog, scope down when things are steady — tier changes take effect the following month.
Then we slot in beside it. Most retainers cover the senior systems work an internal team doesn't have time for: architecture, integrations, automation, and the platform depth that's expensive to hire for.
Yes. Alloy12 is bilingual English and Spanish, and serves clients across the US and Latin America — including Spanish-language stakeholders, documentation, and campaigns.
In week two we agree on the numbers the work should move — hours saved, error rates, launch times, revenue touched. The monthly report measures what shipped against those numbers, so the scoreboard is yours, not ours.
Nightly automated sync, manual CSV imports eliminated
