Questions to ask before you choose

  1. For a phased build with agreed European working-hour overlap, what must the first phase cover?
  2. What should a European buyer agree before development starts?
  3. Which people retain access to project data, repositories and systems after handover?

Commercial risk to watch

  • Ask both providers for the initial commitment, payment schedule, termination terms, taxes, support and change process.
  • Compare the same deliverables and responsibilities. A developer hire, an assessment, a managed build and automated test coverage are different purchases.

Evidence notes

  • Published competitor descriptions are vendor statements, not independently measured results.
  • Wavect’s recommendations reflect its commercial interest. No price advantage, faster delivery or legal certification is established by this page.

Project fit: not limited to small builds

Project size and provider headcount are separate decisions. Wavect’s delivery unit is a named senior core, but that does not limit the work to MVPs or short startup projects. Larger projects are split into phases with separate budgets and acceptance criteria. We also build internal systems and process automations inside a client’s existing repositories, tooling and workflows. A vetted bench supports continuity and scope-specific capacity. A larger provider may still be the better choice when the main requirement is several parallel teams, an incumbent framework agreement or certifications Wavect does not currently hold.
