No invented proof.
No fake testimonials, no anonymised “clients” who do not exist, no logo wall. When we have a case study, it will have a name on it.
Structural guarantees · Not promises
You're protected
by the structure.
Solid
Your code lives in your repository from day one. We work in a repo you own from the first commit. Walk away at any point — mid-sprint, mid-audit, whenever — and you keep everything that exists. There is no handover moment because there is nothing to hand over.
Solid
Fixed prices, quoted before work starts. The audit has a published price. Sprints are quoted from the audit, in writing, before they begin. If scope has to change, we tell you before it costs you anything — never after.
Solid
You pay when you approve the result. Sprints are billed after delivery, when you have reviewed the work and are happy with it. Prefer milestone payments or escrow? Both fine. The default is simply: no payment until you approve.
Solid
A real person answers, fast. You work directly with the senior engineer on your project — same person from audit to launch. Questions get answers within working hours, not through a ticket queue.
Solid
A 30-day warranty on every sprint. If something we shipped breaks within 30 days, we fix it at no charge. After that, maintenance plans are available — but never required.
What we will never do
Floors,
not virtues.
Six things you can hold us to. None of them is a selling point; each is the minimum a studio should be able to say out loud.
No equity.
We are paid in money for work delivered. We do not take a stake in your company, and we do not ask for one in exchange for a discount.
No lock-in.
Your repository, your accounts, your infrastructure, from day one. Nothing sits on our side that you would have to ask for.
No hourly meter.
Every engagement has a price on it before it starts. If scope changes, you hear about it before it costs you anything.
No junior behind a senior name.
The engineer on your first call is the engineer who reads your code and writes the report. There is nobody else.
No reuse of your code.
We never reuse, publish, or train anything on client code. The audit report is confidential to you.
Who you're dealing with
A named engineer,
not a brand wall.
Anil Kumar — founding engineer — leads every engagement and signs every agreement. 12+ years building production software at Fortune 500 companies, on products used by millions. The person you talk to on the first call is the person who reads your code. The Yellow Labs LLP · Registered in India. Reach us any time at hello@theyellowlabs.com.
The practical questions
Before you send
us anything.
Who am I actually contracting with?
You get a written agreement before any paid work starts, signed by the founding engineer who leads your project. It covers scope, price, payment terms, IP assignment (everything we write is yours), and confidentiality for your code and data.
What do you need from me to start?
For an audit: read access to your repository (GitHub, GitLab, or an export) or a live URL, plus 15 minutes on what the product is supposed to do. That is genuinely all. You do not need to prepare documentation your AI never wrote.
Is my code and idea safe with you?
Yes — and not just as a promise. We sign an NDA before you share anything if you want one, access is read-only until you hire us to change things, and the audit report is confidential to you. We never reuse, publish, or train anything on client code.
What if I stop mid-engagement?
You owe nothing for work not yet started, and everything already delivered is in your repository. The audit report, the roadmap, the code — all of it is yours to take to any other developer. We think you will stay because the work is good, not because leaving is hard.
What if something happens to your one engineer?
Then you lose a supplier, not your product. Your code is in your own repository from the first commit, every sprint ships with a written handover note — what changed, how to run it, what is still open — and you only ever pay for work you have already approved, so there is no prepaid work at risk. Any competent engineer can pick up where we stopped. We designed it that way because a studio this small has no business asking you to trust otherwise.
Ready when you are — send your repo or live URL and we'll reply within 24 hours with a straight answer on whether the audit fits.
