- I
Invited personally. There is no application form, no bench, and no public listing. You meet engineers inside the platform after we have talked.
- II
Assessed on a recorded working session on a real problem, not a coding puzzle.
- III
Every piece quoted as a fixed price, in writing, before it starts. Overruns are theirs, not yours.
- IV
A daily standup, at a time the client chooses, where the engineer demos the finished work from the last twenty-four hours. Every day of the engagement. Progress is shown, not reported.
- V
Built with agentic tools under guardrails, and reviewed by a human before it ships. Speed never skips judgement.
- VI
One named person from first call to last commit, with another member to cover if life happens.
- VII
Month paid ahead to the Guild's US company. One invoice, one W-9. Cancel at the end of any month. You own the code and the accounts from day one.
