Engagement
Monthly product partnership
What is monthly product partnership?
A product partnership is a monthly retainer where Qanat acts as your engineering team, shipping continuously against a roadmap you set. It suits companies with an ongoing product rather than a one-off build. Monthly, with 30 days' notice, and you own everything throughout.
- Right for
- Companies with a live product that needs continuous work, and no in-house team to do it.
- Wrong for
- A single defined project. A retainer with nothing queued is an expensive way to buy availability. Take the fixed-scope build.

We would rather lose the engagement than sell you the wrong one.
Questions
Monthly product partnership, answered
What happens to the code if we stop?
Nothing. It is already yours and already in your organisation. Offboarding is a handover session and a documentation pass, both included. There is no exit fee and no dependency to unwind.

A scope call, then a written scope and one fixed price against it. 20% of that price is held back until you accept the finished build, and the scope is yours to take elsewhere either way.
