The project was delivered on time. Three years later, it became the legacy nobody wants to touch.
- Every small change becomes a big budget, because nobody understands the code anymore.
- The people who built it left, and the knowledge went with them.
- The cost of maintenance rises every year and eats the budget for what is new.
Everyone promises fast. We prove it lasts.
The cost of software lies in the ten years after launch. With architecture built to last and monitoring in production, the bill stays low and stable.
Faster, cheaper and with more quality. Without picking just one.
AI speeds things up, human review answers for quality and every decision is recorded.
Traditional vendor
- Executes what it receives
- Report of hours and points
- AI to generate more code
- Opaque process
- A zip with code at the end
DB1 Itênex
- Takes part in the technical decision
- Hours with metrics of value delivered
- AI with governance and validation
- Every decision traced
- Technical autonomy handed over
Our own tools that organize the work of engineers and AI agents. AI writes, engineers review, security tests run before every delivery.
DB1 method with AI: speed + accountability + durability
Discovery & architecture
We understand the business and design an architecture meant to scale and last, not just to ship the MVP.
Validation GateA foundation built to last
We set guardrails, standards and acceptance criteria in Harness, the base that prevents re-legacy.
Harness Sign-offAgentic construction
AI agents generate and convert code under technical leadership. Nothing ships without human review and SAST/DAST.
Agent → review → SAST/DASTRuntime Intelligence
Monitoring in production that detects degradation before it becomes technical debt and feeds the next cycles.
Quarterly review
You come in where the project is and move forward without changing teams.
An idea on paper, a system to build or software in production: each stage has a squad. In all three, DB1 leads and answers for the delivery.
Conception Squad
Ideal forThose who have the idea but do not yet have scope, architecture or a closed estimate.
We turn the idea into a technical blueprint: discovery, architecture built to last and an execution plan with timeline and cost.
Dedicated team
- Product discovery and requirements mapping
- Architecture designed to scale and to last
- Prioritized backlog with estimate and roadmap
- Proof of concept when the technical risk calls for it
Output: a blueprint and a plan that unlock construction safely.
Construction Squad
Ideal forThose with a defined scope who want the system in production, from diagnosis to go-live.
A full team building your custom system with the Core Up method: faster, cheaper and with auditable quality.
Dedicated team
- Scope, milestones and acceptance criteria at the start
- Agentic construction: agent, human review and SAST/DAST
- Fixed price or hours worked: the proposal brings both
- Code, specs and documentation stay with your team
Ideal for new systems, modernization and critical integrations.
Evolution Squad
Ideal forThose who already have software in production and need to evolve it without losing pace or turning it into legacy.
A dedicated squad working in a continuous cadence, with Runtime Intelligence monitoring production so the system grows without piling up technical debt.
Dedicated team
- A fixed team working with DB1 method and governance
- Delivery cadence and Runtime Intelligence in production
- Scale the team up or down as demand requires
- The same squad builds up context about your product
Squad outsourcing model: results measured per sprint, billed by the hours worked.
Fixed price or hours worked: predictability or flexibility.
When the scope can be defined, the proposal brings both models side by side. You compare and choose.
Fixed scope
Fixed price
A fixed price for a defined delivery.
Applies to: Conception and Construction
What you gain
- Price set before starting
- Budget and timeline predictable from the start
- If the estimate overruns, the risk is DB1's, not yours
What you accept
- Less flexibility to change course midway
- A scope change requires a new agreement
- The scope needs to be clear before the contract
How DB1 reduces this: discovery and specs come before the price, so the scope starts out clear and the price carries no margin for what nobody looked at.
Open scope
Hours worked
You pay for the hours actually worked.
Applies to: Construction and Evolution
What you gain
- Freedom to reprioritize every sprint
- You pay only for the hours executed
- No risk margin built into the price
What you accept
- Total cost less predictable at the start
- Requires tracking the hours throughout the project
- The final timeline follows the priorities you set
How DB1 reduces this: hours and deliveries visible every sprint, with value metrics, so you decide the next step with numbers.

Everything you need to know
Do you build from scratch or evolve what already exists?
Both. We build new systems and evolve or modernize existing ones, always in parts and without stopping the operation.
How do you deliver faster without losing quality?
With the Core Up method: agents generate and convert code (up to 92% faster) under technical leadership, and human review plus SAST/DAST secure robustness. Speed and quality are not a choice.
Does the code stay with me at the end?
Yes. Handover with autonomy: code, specs, documentation and context stay with your team. No vendor lock-in.
How do you make sure the system will not become legacy?
Architecture built to last from the start, plus Runtime Intelligence in production, which detects degradation before it becomes technical debt and feeds the next cycles.
Isn't a fixed scope more expensive?
It is when the vendor prices in the uncertainty. Here discovery and specs come before the price, so the margin covers the risk that is left, not what nobody looked at.
What is the difference between squad outsourcing and Tech Talent AI?
Who leads. In outsourcing, DB1 manages the squad and answers for the delivery. In Tech Talent AI, the engineers join your team and follow your management.
How does pricing work?
There are two models. With a fixed scope, a fixed price per delivery, set after discovery. With an open scope, you pay for the hours worked and track hours and value delivered every sprint. When the scope can be defined, the proposal brings both for you to choose.
