A rough brief is enough. We'll come back within one working day with either a shape for the engagement, a few clarifying questions, or an honest note that we're not the right fit right now.
The short versions. Anything else, drop us a line — the form above goes to a real inbox that a real person reads.

Yes, and often before we've heard the whole idea. Ours is a mutual one-pager — happy to sign yours instead if you already have one.
In your GitHub or GitLab organisation, from day one. Not ours. IP is yours from the first commit; we're just contributors.
