How Resolve Works
A simple, predictable way
to keep software moving
Resolve is designed for ongoing software development, not projects with a start and end date.
There's no big kickoff, no fixed scope, and no artificial finish line.
Instead, work flows continuously — adapting as priorities change.
This page explains what working together actually looks like.
Your Requests
Your priorities
in one place
All work flows through a shared list of priorities — features you need built, things that need fixing, improvements, and automation.
You can submit requests anytime, in plain language. You don't need to write technical specifications — we'll figure out the details together.
Priorities can change as your needs evolve. There's no penalty for rethinking what matters most.
Your list includes
- Features and new functionality
- Bug fixes and improvements
- System improvements and cleanup
- Automation requests
Getting Aligned
We figure out
the details
When a new request is added, we review it and ask questions as needed.
This may include:
- Understanding what you need and why it matters
- Spotting potential issues before they become problems
- Recommending the simplest path to the result you want
Not every request needs a full specification up front.
Plans evolve as we learn more.
The goal is shared understanding — not paperwork.
Deciding What's Next
You decide
what matters most
Work is prioritized collaboratively based on:
- Impact
- Urgency
- Effort
- Current context
Priorities are not locked in forever.
As your needs change, priorities shift with them.
There's no penalty for rethinking what matters most.
Steady Progress
Work never stops
between projects
There are no projects with start and end dates. No rigid schedules. Work flows continuously based on what matters most to your business.
Progress continues without waiting for artificial milestones or resets. There's no time tracking and no task-by-task billing.
Momentum matters more than ceremony.
How it flows
- Work is pulled from the top of your priority list
- Progress happens continuously
- Multiple items may move forward at once
- There is always something actively being worked on
Closing the Loop
Review and
feedback
As work is completed, it's shared for review.
You can:
- Approve it
- Ask for adjustments
- Build on it by adding follow-up priorities
Feedback is part of the normal flow, not a disruption.
Because Resolve is ongoing, refinement is expected — not treated as a change request.
Flexibility Built In
Changing priorities?
No problem
New information, urgent issues, or shifting business needs are normal.
When priorities change:
- We pause or slow lower-priority work
- Reorder priorities
- Focus on what matters most right now
There's no renegotiation process and no restart cost.
The system simply adapts.
Clear Accountability
Ownership and
responsibility
Devclock is responsible for
- Implementing and maintaining code
- Keeping systems healthy over time
- Reviewing all work before delivery
- Using AI selectively where it adds leverage
You are responsible for
- Setting priorities
- Providing context and feedback
- Making the call when there are tradeoffs
Ownership is clear, shared, and continuous.
The Rhythm
What a typical month
looks like
While no two months are the same, most follow a steady rhythm:
- New priorities are added and discussed
- Work progresses across active priorities
- Completed items are reviewed and refined
- Priorities are adjusted as your needs change
There's no time tracking and no task-by-task billing.
Progress is measured by momentum and outcomes, not hours.
Fit Check
What this model is
best at
What this model is best at
- Ongoing software development
- Regular improvements and fixes
- Systems that stay maintained over time
- Flexibility as priorities evolve
Not designed for
- Fixed-scope, fixed-deadline projects
- One-time builds with no ongoing ownership
- "Set it and forget it" automation
- Emergency or 24/7 on-call response
Clear expectations help everyone succeed.
Investment
How this connects to
pricing
Resolve is $10,000 per month — less than the cost of a single full-time developer.
For businesses with more complex needs or higher urgency, we offer larger engagements. We'll recommend the right fit after understanding your situation.
FAQ
Common
questions
Requests are submitted into a shared list of priorities. They can be as simple as a short description of what you want to change or improve. Requests don't need to be perfectly specified — clarification is part of the process.
Very little. Most businesses spend time submitting requests, answering clarifying questions, and reviewing completed work. There's no need for daily oversight or heavy coordination.
There's no required meeting schedule. Some businesses prefer periodic check-ins, others communicate entirely asynchronously. We'll align with what works best for you.
Urgent issues can be reprioritized. When something time-sensitive appears, we adjust and focus on what matters most. This may pause lower-priority work temporarily, but nothing needs to be renegotiated.
Progress is tracked through the shared priority list and completed work. You'll always be able to see what's in progress, what's next, and what's been completed. The focus is on momentum and outcomes, not activity metrics.
Devclock reviews all work before delivery. You review completed work for feedback, approval, or follow-up requests. Ownership and accountability remain clear throughout the process.
