Process & Methodology

What is Agochar's development process?

Agochar follows an agile development methodology: (1) Discovery - understanding requirements, (2) Planning - architecture and sprint planning, (3) Development - iterative 2-week sprints, (4) Testing - continuous QA and code reviews, (5) Deployment - staged rollouts with monitoring, (6) Support - ongoing maintenance and enhancements. You get full transparency with daily standups and weekly demos.

How long does a typical project take?

Project timelines vary based on complexity: MVP/prototype (4-8 weeks), mid-size applications (3-6 months), enterprise solutions (6-12+ months). During discovery, we provide detailed timeline estimates with milestones. We prioritize delivering working software incrementally rather than big-bang releases.

How does Agochar handle project communication?

We integrate with your existing workflows: Slack/Teams for daily communication, Jira/Asana for task tracking, GitHub/GitLab for code collaboration, and weekly video calls for demos and planning. You get a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact and access to our real-time project dashboard.

What happens if requirements change during the project?

Agochar's agile approach is designed for flexibility. We welcome requirement changes and handle them through our change management process: assess impact on timeline/budget, reprioritize backlog, adjust sprint planning. Minor changes are absorbed within sprints; significant changes are scoped as additional work with transparent estimates.

How does Agochar ensure code quality?

Quality is built into our process: mandatory code reviews for every merge, automated testing (unit, integration, E2E), CI/CD pipelines with quality gates, static code analysis (SonarQube), security scanning, and documentation standards. Senior engineers review all critical code paths.

Hiring Developers

How quickly can Agochar provide developers?

Agochar can match you with pre-vetted developers within 48 hours for common roles (React, Node.js, Python). For specialized roles like AI/ML engineers or blockchain developers, it typically takes 3-5 business days. We maintain a pool of 500+ vetted developers ready for immediate engagement.

What is Agochar's developer vetting process?

Our 5-stage vetting process includes: (1) Resume and portfolio screening, (2) Technical assessment with coding challenges, (3) Live coding interview with senior engineers, (4) Soft skills and communication evaluation, (5) Background and reference verification. Only the top 3% of applicants pass all stages.

What if the developer is not a good fit?

Agochar offers a 2-week risk-free trial period. If the developer doesn't meet your expectations during this trial, we provide a replacement at no additional cost. We also offer ongoing support to address any concerns throughout the engagement.

What are the engagement models for hiring developers?

Agochar offers flexible models: Full-time dedicated (160 hrs/month, $4K-$12K), Part-time flexible (80 hrs/month, $2K-$6K), Project-based (fixed scope, custom quote), and Team/Pod (3-8 developers, $15K-$60K). All include a 2-week trial and can be scaled up or down.

How do hired developers integrate with my team?

Developers join your Slack/Teams, attend standups, use your project management tools, and follow your processes. We ensure 4+ hours of timezone overlap for real-time collaboration. They work as an extension of your team, not as external contractors.

Pricing & Contracts

How does Agochar pricing work?

Agochar offers transparent pricing models: Time & Materials (hourly/daily rates for flexible scope), Fixed Price (defined scope with milestone-based payments), Retainer (monthly commitment for ongoing work), and Dedicated Teams (monthly rate for full-time resources). We provide detailed estimates after discovery.

What are Agochar's payment terms?

Standard terms: 30% upfront for fixed-price projects, net-30 invoicing for T&M, and monthly advance for retainers. We accept bank transfer, credit card, and can accommodate enterprise procurement processes. Payment milestones are tied to deliverables for fixed-price work.

Are there any long-term contract requirements?

No long-term contracts required for most engagements. Developer hiring is month-to-month after the trial period. Project work follows milestone-based contracts. Enterprise retainers typically have 3-month minimums with 30-day termination notice. We prioritize flexibility.

Does Agochar offer discounts for startups?

Yes, Agochar offers startup-friendly pricing including reduced rates for seed-stage companies, flexible payment schedules, equity-for-services arrangements for select startups, and MVP packages designed for lean budgets. Contact us to discuss your situation.

What's included in project pricing?

Our project pricing typically includes: development, QA testing, code documentation, deployment support, 30-day post-launch warranty, and project management. Design, third-party licenses, hosting costs, and extended support are quoted separately based on requirements.

Security & Compliance

How does Agochar handle IP and confidentiality?

All Agochar team members sign comprehensive NDAs before accessing any client information. IP assignment is standard in our contracts - you own 100% of the code we write. We can work with your legal team to accommodate specific requirements. Source code is never shared or reused.

What security certifications does Agochar have?

Agochar maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance and follows OWASP security guidelines. Our team is trained in secure coding practices. For specific industries, we have experience with HIPAA (healthcare), PCI-DSS (payments), GDPR/CCPA (data privacy), and can build solutions that meet your compliance requirements.

How does Agochar protect client data?

We implement defense-in-depth: encrypted communications (TLS 1.3), secure development environments, access controls with least privilege, regular security audits, no data stored on local machines, and secure disposal of project materials. Enterprise clients can specify additional security requirements.

Can Agochar work with regulated industries?

Yes, Agochar has extensive experience in regulated industries. We've built HIPAA-compliant healthcare applications, PCI-DSS payment systems, SOX-compliant financial tools, and FDA-regulated medical device software. Our team understands compliance requirements and builds them in from the start.

Does Agochar perform security testing?

Security testing is part of our standard process: static code analysis (SAST), dependency vulnerability scanning, security-focused code reviews, and basic penetration testing. For applications requiring higher security, we partner with specialized security firms for comprehensive penetration testing and audits.
