Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (EU)

For Germany/EU delivery, we keep GDPR-first patterns: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and explicit access boundaries.

We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement pragmatic retention/deletion flows when needed.

  • GDPR-first architecture patterns (generic, no legal claims)
  • DPA template available on request
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • Least-privilege access and safe logging defaults
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries

Timezone & Collaboration (EU)

We align to EU working hours with CET-friendly collaboration windows and async progress updates.

We keep delivery predictable: weekly milestones, documented decisions, and clear scope control.

  • EU overlap with CET-friendly windows
  • Async-first delivery with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear change control to avoid surprises
  • Escalation path for blockers and risks

Engagement & Procurement (EU)

We support procurement-friendly engagements with clear scopes, milestone plans, and documentation that stakeholders can review.

For EU teams, we can structure invoices and milestones for EUR-based engagements where appropriate.

  • EUR-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Vendor onboarding documentation on request
  • Transparent change control and approvals

Security & Quality (EU)

We prioritise reliability: reviewable PRs, predictable releases, and tests that protect critical paths.

Performance budgets and clear release discipline keep the product stable as it grows.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
