From the contract · Success criterion

Every engagement has a written success criterion agreed in week one. If we miss it for reasons within our control, we extend the engagement at our cost until it is met. This clause is in the contract, not a sales line.

You will hear a ballpark on the first call, not after three meetings.

08 FAQ

Asked, answered.

Where does our data live, and are you EU/GDPR compliant?

Default deployment region is eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) or eu-north-1 (Stockholm). Tidora is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001 in progress, and we sign DPAs and SCCs as standard. We never copy customer data out of the customer account.

What is the response SLA, and what counts as a P1?

Managed retainers carry a 15-minute P1 acknowledgement during EU business hours and 30 minutes on the 24/7 add-on. P1 = customer-impacting outage on a production workload we operate. SLAs are written into the MSA, not the brochure.

Do you do Azure or GCP?

AWS is our primary cloud platform — that's where we hold our Advanced Partner status and where we lead green-field work. We will integrate with workloads sitting in Azure or GCP, but we do not lead green-field projects on those platforms. Our GitLab practice runs across whichever cloud the customer prefers.

Can you move us off GitHub, Jenkins, or Bitbucket?

Yes — repository and pipeline migrations are core GitLab practice work for us: CI/CD conversion, runner architecture, and developer-platform setup, with cutovers planned in waves so delivery never stops. We also handle GitLab licensing and resale.

What are the exit terms on a managed retainer?

60-day notice after the 12-month minimum. Exit includes a 30-day shadow period where your team takes the pager, with us on Slack. Documentation, Terraform, runbooks, and dashboards stay with you — they were always yours.
