The source code belongs to you entirely. Upon delivery, we hand over full access to the Git repository. You are free to evolve it internally or with another provider. We do however reserve the right to reuse all or part of the code for other projects.\"},{\"question\":\"What technologies do you use?\",\"answer\":\"It depends on the project's needs. We generally work with Nuxt for the frontend and Go for the backend. For databases, we primarily use PostgreSQL. Every technology choice is justified and adapted to your context.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the delivery timeline?\",\"answer\":\"It depends on the complexity of the project. An MVP can be delivered in 6 to 12 weeks. A full project typically takes between 3 and 6 months. We work in iterative cycles with regular deliveries so you can follow progress.\"},{\"question\":\"Do you offer post-delivery maintenance?\",\"answer\":\"Yes. We offer maintenance and managed services contracts including security updates, monitoring, bug fixes, and feature improvements. You can also manage maintenance in-house if you prefer.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you handle data security?\",\"answer\":\"Security is built in from the start - robust authentication, encryption of sensitive data, protection against common attacks (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection), code audits, and security testing. We host in Switzerland to ensure nFADP \u002F GDPR compliance.\"},{\"question\":\"Can I start with an MVP and evolve later?\",\"answer\":\"Absolutely. It's even the approach we recommend. An MVP lets you test your idea on the market with a controlled budget, then iterate based on user feedback and business priorities.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens if we stop working together?\",\"answer\":\"You continue without us. The code is in your repository, technical documentation is delivered alongside it, infrastructure is documented and reproducible, and we organize a handoff with the team or provider taking over. A project whose continuity depends on a single person is a poorly built project.\"},{\"question\":\"Can you take over an application developed by someone else?\",\"answer\":\"Often, yes. We start with an audit of the code, infrastructure, and accumulated technical debt, after which we tell you whether taking it over makes sense or if a gradual rewrite will cost less. That is an answer we give after reviewing the code, never before.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you estimate projects with an undefined scope?\",\"answer\":\"We do not provide fixed-price quotes for an unclear scope - it serves no one. We start with a short, paid scoping phase that results in clear specifications and a reliable estimate. You remain free to continue with us or not at the end of this phase.\"},{\"question\":\"Do our teams need training?\",\"answer\":\"Yes, and that is included. User training and documentation are part of the delivery.
