The buyer problem
Hiring individual developers does not automatically create delivery.
Recruitment adds capacity slowly. Marketplaces add coordination work. Contractors can help, but often need more product and technical direction than the team has available. A pod solves for delivery, not just headcount.
- You need a product shipped while recruitment continues.
- You need AI-native development habits inside the team.
- You need one accountable unit, not several disconnected freelancers.
- You need engineering judgment as well as implementation.
