How the pilot sprint runs
Five steps from the first call to the decision that follows the deliverable.
1. Scope call
Tell us about what you want built.
2. Agree on deliverables
We will define the first delivery together, get it in a contract, and you meet the engineers before you sign it.
3. Start in 3 days
The engineers you meet will be ready to start on your project within three days of the intro call, or the day after the contract is signed.
4. Two weeks of work
We spend two weeks working together. Anything we deliver is yours to keep, no strings attached.
5. You decide
Once you're happy with your team, we move onto an engagement that is the right shape and size for your team.

A pod built for your use case
A pod is an independent team that molds to the shape of your organization. Typically two to four engineers, a part-time solutions architect, and a part-time project manager.
More than one pod when the work splits
We run three pods at Dental Intelligence: one on data engineering, two on product development. They have been there since 2021.
One clear status
Instead of separate statuses from each engineer, the status is reported at the pod level.

What our clients say
“Aaron and the Aptologics team that he has assembled have completely transformed our business. They take a strategic view and help us to understand our business at a high level and be able to root cause the biggest opportunities and challenges. Aptologics continues to deliver results that are far beyond my highest expectations.”
“It's a real multiplier for us. The ability to dive in, assess what's going on in the business, and understand where the opportunities for growth and the key profit centers are... that higher-level view was the biggest gap in our organization, and it's not something I anticipated or expected. The feedback so far has been universally positive.”
