Technical due diligence is the bedrock of our process. For over 20 years, we have built production-ready architecture that passes the rigorous standards of the NHS and major UK banks. Our work on "My Lost Account" created a central banking portal used daily by every major UK financial institution: a testament to the stability and security of our engineering standards.

1. What is Your Experience and Expertise?

Ask about their experience in specific sectors: such as healthcare app development or high-concurrency sports platforms, to ensure they understand your regulatory requirements. Look for a team with a strong portfolio of successful projects and a deep understanding of the technologies and platforms you want to use.

2. What is Your Development Process?

Inquire about their development process (specifically how they manage mvp app development and parallel agile sprints) to ensure timely delivery. Ask about their communication style, project management tools, and how they handle feedback and iterations.

3. What is Your Pricing Structure?

Understand their pricing structure for saas development or enterprise systems, focusing on the total cost of ownership rather than just the initial build. Ask about any additional costs for maintenance, updates, and support.

4. How Do You Ensure Quality and Security?

Ask about their quality assurance (QA) and testing processes to ensure your app is free of bugs and glitches. Inquire about their security measures and how they protect sensitive user data.

5. What is Your Post-Launch Support and Maintenance Plan?

Understand their plan for post-launch support and maintenance. Ask about their response times for bug fixes and updates, and how they will help you grow and evolve your app over time.
