We are the open-book agent studio for operations leaders at property and field-service companies who want to watch their AI work: live, measured, and theirs. Two engagements, First Agent and Production System, both fixed scope and fixed price. Since 2023. Registered as Codantrix Labs in 2025.
We end in a deploy, not a slide deck. Most AI projects die between the demo and Monday morning; we build for Monday morning. Every agent ships with a fail mode, a rollback path and the eval that proves it works. We publish our prices, our evals and our mistakes, because trust is earned in the open. No layers between you and the engineer writing your code. Small on purpose.
Every engagement closes with running code in your infrastructure or ours, plus the handoff box: runbook, eval report, architecture diagram, Loom walkthrough and a 30-day support calendar. No "phase 2 proposal" handshake.
Written SOW before any work begins. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Change requests get their own scoped SOW.
We work in your repo. IP transfers on final payment. We don't lock you into a "platform" you have to keep paying us for.
Push back during scoping — we welcome it. Once the SOW is signed and we're building, a change of direction gets its own SOW. That's not aggression. That's how we stay fast.
One founder, contractors on demand, no project managers between you and the engineer writing your code. Three engagements running at once, maximum.
Every engagement runs on the Deploy Ladder: four phases, Map, Build, Wire, Ship. The first two days of Map are discovery, inside the fixed price. Then orchestration goes in first, domain agents land on top of the spine, and production runs behind feature flags we own jointly with you, with a 30-day support tail.
Stateless before stateful. Deterministic before probabilistic. Every agent has a fail mode and a rollback path before it sees real traffic.
A written async update every day. One weekly sync. A demo every Friday: the production or staging URL, plus a Loom under five minutes. No standups for the sake of standups. The method page has the rungs and what "done" means on each.
We're based in Lahore but most of our clients aren't. The studio operates on overlapping US and EU business hours by default — you brief at the end of your day, the build moves overnight, code is on your desk the next morning.
Lahore is UTC+5: 9 — 10 hours ahead of New York, 12 — 13 ahead of San Francisco, 3 — 4 ahead of central Europe. We work async-first: a daily written update and one weekly sync. The founder bio goes deeper on why we work this way.
We don't bill by the hour. Fixed scope keeps the incentive on shipping, not on extending.
If your workflow runs in Lindy or Relevance, use them. They'll get you there faster than we will, and we'll say so on the scope call.
Wrapping an LLM in a chat box isn't an agent. We build agents that do operations work, with orchestration, evals and a rollback path.
Compliance-attested deployments aren't our lane yet. We'll point you to studios that specialize in them.
We build agents for operations teams, not consumer app clones. If the brief starts with someone else's app, we're the wrong studio.
We're a small studio shipping client work. We don't offer placements.
We agree the schedule in your SOW: 4 — 6 weeks for First Agent, 6 — 10 weeks for Production System. We don't drag a one-month build into six.
The 30-min scope call is free and scopes the work. There's no paid discovery before you sign; the first two days of Map are discovery, inside the fixed price.
