Build-Operate-Transfer

We build and run the capability, then transfer full ownership once it's proven.

Best ForEventual full ownership

Build-Operate-Transfer is for organizations that want to own their engineering capability outright — eventually. We build the team and the processes, operate it to a proven, stable state, then transfer full ownership, IP and staff to you on agreed terms.

The transfer point is defined upfront, not negotiated after the fact, so both sides are working toward the same handover from day one.

How It Works

From first conversation to running engagement.

01

Agree the transfer terms

Timeline, valuation and staff transition terms are set in the contract before build begins.

02

Build to your standards

The team, tooling and process are built as if they were already yours — because they will be.

03

Operate to stability

We run the unit until delivery metrics are consistently met over an agreed period.

04

Transfer ownership

Staff, IP and infrastructure transfer to you, with a defined handover and knowledge-transfer period.
