Frequently Asked Questions

Archie Labs is for visionaries—whether technical or non-technical—who want to transform ideas into reality. We support entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators who need expert guidance and AI-powered execution to turn concepts into production-grade software, quickly and with confidence.

Archie is our proprietary AI Creation Platform—an agentic AI that takes you from concept to production-ready components through a fast, structured process. Archie Labs adds the human experts who co-pilot the journey with you, shaping, refining, and delivering your vision. Together, it's a seamless fusion: AI brings speed and scale, while experts provide the judgment, creativity, and accountability needed to ensure your software is built right.

Not everyone wants to build on their own. This is why Archie Labs exists. By utilizing our own Archie Platform, we enjoy an unfair advantage that we pass on to each and every one of our customers.

Pre-Development Engagements
You'll receive the full suite of Archie outputs: functional, technical, and visual design plans for your product, plus a comprehensive proposal for development. This includes wireframes, user flows, and UI/UX design assets, alongside a technical architecture document mapping integrations and system dependencies. You'll also get a detailed budget and timeline proposal—equipping you or any development team with everything needed to move confidently into full development.

Design and Development Engagements
Whether following pre-development or starting directly with us, we deliver production-grade applications or features. This includes source code, technical architecture, infrastructure configuration, deployment pipelines, observability foundations, and complete design assets.

Additional Services
Beyond core design and development, Archie Labs also provides Data Platforms and Intelligence, nearshore staffing, and AI strategy to help organizations modernize, scale, and stay ahead.

Timelines vary by scope and complexity. As a guideline, pre-development (requirements, architecture, and planning) typically runs between 1 to 3 weeks, depending on client availability. Development duration depends on the size and complexity of the build and is planned and proposed after scoping the project. Most projects are delivered 35–55% faster than traditional approaches.

Pre-Development services range in the low thousands of dollars (fixed price) and typically deliver a 5–10x return in 3–5x less time compared to traditional approaches.

Full design, development, and implementation pricing is determined based on your project's objectives, complexity, and timeline.

Both Time and Materials as well as Fixed Price Engagements are available upon approval.

Rates depend on a mix of US- and LATAM-based resources.

Yes, you retain full ownership of intellectual property and source code. Deliverables reside in GitHub repositories and are transferred to you at handover.

Quality starts with our pre-development process, where Archie defines your functional, technical, and visual requirements up front, which are later refined by our team. By clarifying scope and architecture before development begins, we minimize risk, prevent costly rework, and ensure alignment with your goals.

Reliability comes from transparent project management. Throughout the engagement, we hold weekly client calls, provide detailed status reports, and share clear visibility into progress, milestones, and timelines.

Security and compliance are covered in our pre-development process. Archie evaluates your application's regulatory requirements and generates the security and compliance considerations that need to be addressed. This ensures that regulatory needs are identified and built into your architecture from the outset, so compliance is baked into your product rather than retrofitted later.

As a team, we also follow industry best practices for data protection, including:

• Encryption in transit and at rest
• Least-privilege access
• Secure secrets management

We are SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant, and can align with additional frameworks depending on your regulatory requirements.

Yes. Archie Labs can stay engaged to provide ongoing support, enhancements, and maintenance. Many clients choose to keep us involved as a long-term partner to evolve their product, optimize performance, and scale as their business grows.

That's no problem. Archie Labs can deliver design-only engagements that provide functional specifications, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI/UX assets—plus a technical architecture plan if needed. This package is ready to hand off to your own development team, ensuring they have everything required to build confidently. Many clients use our design services to validate ideas, secure funding, or align stakeholders before committing to full development.

• Software engineers
