Choose the Right Cooperation Model for Your Business

At Q, we adapt how we work to fit each company’s needs, offering flexible cooperation models based on your goals, project complexity, timelines, and budget. Whether you need a fully dedicated team through Team as a Service, a clearly defined Fixed Price and Scope project, or additional capacity via Staff Augmentation, each model is designed to support different levels of ownership, flexibility, and delivery.

Team as a Service (TaaS)

Built for long-term collaboration, where shared context and continuity make a real difference. Over time, teams align better, move faster, and make more confident decisions. This setup supports complex work that evolves as you go.

What Is It

Instead of hiring individual developers, you get a full team that develops and manages your digital product. You focus on the core business and stakeholders, we take care of the tech.

When It Fits Best

  • Scale-ups, enterprise companies, and private equity or venture capital portfolios looking for a long-term technology partner
  • When you need a cross-functional team that owns delivery end-to-end, from product direction to execution, without managing individual resources

Fixed Price and Scope

A model grounded in clarity from the start, where everything is defined before execution begins. It creates a structured environment with clear expectations and accountability. This makes delivery more controlled and easier to manage.

What Is It

A model of cooperation for projects with clearly defined requirements, scope, and timeline. We agree on the budget, deliverables, and milestones upfront, so you get full predictability and control. You bring a clear vision and a dedicated decision maker, we deliver the project as planned.

When It Fits Best

  • For mid-size to enterprise companies starting a project with clearly defined requirements and a fixed direction, where predictability is critical
  • When you have a clear vision, defined deliverables, and a set budget, and need a partner to execute against agreed milestones and outcomes

Staff Augmentation

Designed to strengthen your existing team without changing how you work. It allows you to bring in specific expertise while keeping your processes and ownership intact. A practical way to stay flexible as needs shift.

What Is It

Q’s professionals integrate into your existing setup and work under your leadership, following your priorities and processes. You define the skills and capacity, we provide the people who help your team move faster.

When It Fits Best

  • Mid-size to enterprise companies that need to extend their teams with specific skills or additional capacity
  • When you want experienced engineers to integrate into your existing processes while you retain full control over priorities and delivery
