Owned software capability / Federal + regulated

Own the platform you run on.

Real requirements deserve real software. Sovereign Stack is an application foundation you own outright, delivered in fixed-price sprints that each ship a defined outcome.

The commercial problem

Your requirements are not technical debt.

A

The SaaS trap

The SaaS vendor sells low-code customization to close the deal. The upgrade team later calls that same customization the problem. You pay for the subscription, the implementation, the remediation, and the next forced migration.

B

The hours trap

AI has made good engineering teams dramatically faster. Billed hourly, that speed works against you. Every hour saved is revenue the supplier loses, so the hours get protected. We fix the sprint price instead, and the productivity gain lands on your side of the ledger.

Use standard products for commodity work. Write real software for differentiated work. Own the seams between them.

The delivery lane

Every sprint ships an answer.

Sprints come in four kinds, each scoped to answer one question about your system. A senior engineer leads every one, with product, user experience, and human testing joining as the work demands. A team of two to four, two weeks, one deliverable.

A

Architecture

Is this the right thing to build?

Boundaries, data model, risks, and a thin-slice plan.

B

Build

Is this code correct?

A running increment, source, tests, and deployment notes.

C

Assurance

Is this allowed?

Control evidence, findings, and accountable review.

D

Run

Is this healthy?

Hardening, observability, reliability, and less toil.

2–4 person team
One fixed scope
Human-tested

Five planes of control

The whole stack is yours.

Code, accounts, data, costs, documentation: every layer of the system sits in your name, complete enough that another qualified team could pick it up tomorrow.

OPEN SYSTEM / CONTROL PLANE
01

Code

The source lives in your repository. Inspect it, build it, and change it at will.

02

Environment

Runs in your cloud accounts. No provider-owned infrastructure between you and your system.

03

Data + models

Production data, credentials, and model choices stay under your control.

04

Economics

Recurring costs come to you directly from your providers. No hidden markup on inference.

05

Exit

Documentation, runbooks, and infrastructure code: everything another qualified team needs to operate and extend the system.

The commercial model

Buy the outcome, not the hours.

The sprint charter names the deliverable and one fixed price for it. How many hours it takes is our problem, not your invoice. No role bills at a premium, and no usage charge arrives after the fact. When we scope your first sprint, we’ll walk you through the numbers.

Production hosting and standing on-call coverage are scoped separately. Production inference runs in your account at provider rates.

The exit is part of the product

Built to outlive the engagement.

The license is perpetual, and the application runs without Hunter Strategy. Production accounts stay in your name, so if you ever need to replace us, you can, without rebuilding. We’d rather earn the next sprint than lock you into it.

Plan the first working slice

Bring a real constraint

What does your current platform refuse to do?

Send us the workflow, integration, upgrade, or production problem that doesn’t fit. We’ll tell you whether it belongs in an Architecture sprint, a Build sprint, or somewhere else entirely.
