Frequently Asked Questions

Our name is a play on curiosity. We believe the best digital products start with asking the right questions. "That Is A Q" reminds us to challenge assumptions, dig deeper, and solve the real problems behind the surface-level requests.

We partner with startups, scale-ups, and enterprises across industries. Whether you're launching an MVP, scaling an existing platform, or undergoing a digital transformation, we have the expertise to match your stage and goals.

That Is A Q is a remote-first agency. Our team is distributed globally, which allows us to work across time zones and bring diverse perspectives to every project. We maintain core overlap hours to ensure seamless collaboration with our clients.

Every project begins with a discovery call to understand your vision, challenges, and goals. From there, we provide a tailored proposal outlining scope, timeline, and investment. Once approved, we kick off with a strategy workshop and move into agile sprints with weekly demos.

Timelines vary based on complexity. A typical MVP takes 8–12 weeks. Larger platform builds can range from 3–6 months. We focus on delivering value early through iterative releases, so you're not waiting months to see progress.

We recommend a dedicated point of contact from your side for feedback and decisions. You don't need to manage day-to-day execution—we handle that. Regular check-ins, async updates, and sprint reviews keep you informed without overwhelming your team.

We offer both project-based pricing and dedicated team models. Project quotes are value-based and tailored to your scope. Dedicated teams work on a monthly retainer, giving you predictable costs for ongoing development and design support.

Our quotes include strategy, design, development, testing, and deployment. We also provide post-launch support periods depending on the package. Any third-party costs (hosting, APIs, licenses) are transparently itemized and pass-through.

Yes. For project-based work, we typically split payments across milestones (e.g., 30% upfront, 30% mid-point, 40% on delivery). We're flexible and can structure terms that work for your budget cycle.

We're technology-agnostic but specialize in modern stacks:

• Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte
• Backend: Node.js, Python, Go, Supabase, Firebase
• Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin
• Cloud: AWS, Vercel, DigitalOcean, GCP

We recommend the best stack for your specific needs, not just what's trendy.

We help businesses leverage AI for automation, personalization, and intelligent features. This includes LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, computer vision, predictive analytics, and AI-powered workflows. We focus on practical implementations that solve real user problems, not just AI for AI's sake.

Absolutely. We have extensive experience refactoring legacy codebases, migrating monoliths to microservices, and rebuilding outdated interfaces. We ensure zero downtime during transitions and preserve business logic while modernizing architecture.

All projects include a warranty period (typically 30–90 days) for bug fixes. Beyond that, we offer monthly maintenance retainers that cover monitoring, security patches, performance optimization, and feature updates.

Yes. We believe in knowledge transfer. We can provide comprehensive documentation, code walkthroughs, and training sessions so your internal team can confidently maintain and evolve the product post-handover.

Our dedicated team model is flexible. You can scale resources up or down on a monthly basis depending on your workload. This elasticity ensures you only pay for what you need while maintaining continuity.
