Outsourced teams

Independent oversight of your outsourced dev team

A named CTO reads what your agency or contractors ship, sets review gates, and reports to you in writing.

Who it's for

For founders who cannot check the status email.

Founders whose agency says the build is almost done

Operators who cannot read the pull requests

Companies with contractors in the repo and no release gate

Boards that want one named person reporting on the build

What we hear

You are trusting a status you cannot verify.

"The agency says it is almost done. I have no way to check."

Founder, software

"I cannot tell which pull requests are safe to ship."

COO, SaaS

"The contractor has admin on production. I do not know who else does."

CEO, Series A

"The board asked for a technical status. I am rewriting their email."

Founder, software

Oversight is a named CTO between you and the team that is writing the code.

What we do

What you get instead of another status call.

The first 90 days

Look, decide, run. In writing.

Each phase ends with documents you keep, whether or not you keep us.

Days 1 to 3001

Look

NDA first, then read-only access. We read the code, the last releases, and who can change production.

  • Written findings on the repo and the recent releases
  • Who has access to production
  • Risk register with a named owner per item
Days 31 to 6002

Decide

We set the release gates and write down what "done" means for this team.

  • Decision log your team can read
  • Scorecard of the agency or contractors
  • The list of what has to be true before a release
Days 61 to 9003

Run

The gates are in use. You get a weekly note and a monthly one-page report.

  • Review gates on releases
  • Weekly note in plain language
  • We do not take over the team unless you ask
NDA before accessSigned before anyone sees a repository or environment.
Read-only by defaultWrite access only when you grant it, for a named task.
Your code stays with youReviews happen in your environment.
You keep the agencyWe replace them only if you decide to.

GoodCallEmbedded team

Engineers inside a client's AI product team

GoodCall is an AI answering service and receptionist. Maxiom engineers joined GoodCall's development team and built the AI phone agent with them. GoodCall led the product. The agent sorts the caller, asks the questions the business needs, can book a time on the calendar, and can update a CRM such as Google Calendar or HighLevel. That work was staff augmentation, under GoodCall's direction. Oversight is the other seat: we review an outsourced team for you, and you keep the decision.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Will you replace our outsourced team?

Only if you decide to. Most of the time we review their work, set release gates, and report to you.

Is this staff augmentation?

No. Staff augmentation adds engineers to a team. This is an independent review of the team you already have. The GoodCall case study on this page is staff augmentation, and GoodCall led that product.

Do you need access to the repository?

Yes, read-only, after an NDA. Your code stays in your environment.

Who do we talk to?

One named CTO. The same person every week. When a review needs more hands, Maxiom engineers in Ashburn, VA do the work under that CTO.

What do we keep?

The findings, the release gates, the scorecard, and the weekly notes. They are yours whether or not you keep us.

How do we start?

Book a time. It is a 30-minute call about who is building the product and what you cannot check. You get a clear yes or no on fit.
