7UNIT / SERVICES

Three ways to work with 7Unit.Build. Automate. Assure.

7Unit is an Operational & AI Engineering Partner based in Bengaluru and Dubai. We build the systems a business runs on, put governed AI inside them, and verify what they do with personal data. Pick the one that matches your problem.

7UNIT / THREE OFFERS

Pick the problem. The first step is fixed-scope.

Each offer starts with a short, priced step that ends in something you keep whether or not you continue: a discovery pack, a workflow map, or an evidence file.

Conditions apply. Each offer page states what the first step covers, how later work is priced, and the currency for UAE and India engagements.

7UNIT / HOW WE WORK

The same model under every offer. Senior engineers own the work from the first decision to the handoff.

Engagement model

01

We start with discovery, not a quote

We spend the first week understanding your domain before writing a line of code. You get a domain map, a data flow diagram, a risk register, and a decision log. If we find something that changes the scope or the cost, we tell you before the build starts, not during it.

Duration: 1–2 weeks. Fixed cost. Fixed scope.
02

We build in two-week loops

Scope locked at sprint start. Senior engineers on every meaningful piece of work. Working software delivered at the end of every sprint, not a progress update, not a Figma file. Technical debt goes in the backlog with a remediation plan. It is never hidden.

Cadence: 2-week sprints. Milestone-based pricing.
03

We hand off, we don't disappear

Before close, the system goes through a hardening phase: load testing, error observability, runbook documentation, and structured knowledge transfer. We stay on call for the first two weeks post-launch. After that, your team owns a system they can actually operate.

Handoff: runbooks, observability dashboard, post-launch support window.
Our previous developer took the source code with him when he disappeared. We came to 7Unit in that situation. What they delivered wasn't just a redesign, it was a complete rethink. This time we own everything.

7UNIT / WHO WE WORK BEST WITH

AI has changed what is buildable and at what cost. It has also created systems that look finished and break under real conditions. This is honest about when we add value and when we do not.

Who we work best with

We work best with teams that:

  • The problem has real stakes.Real money moving, real data at risk, real people depending on it. When the system fails, something actually breaks, not just a demo.
  • You've already tried the faster path.You used Cursor, a no-code tool, or a cheaper team, and either hit a ceiling, shipped something that doesn't hold, or realised the early architecture decisions are now expensive to undo.
  • The system needs to be operated, not just launched.Multi-tenant isolation, audit trails, RBAC, observability. The requirements that appear after the first client asks 'how do you handle our data?'
  • You need someone who owns the outcome.Not a team you manage. Not a vendor who delivers and disappears. An engineering partner who is accountable if it breaks, and who stays until it doesn't.
  • Speed matters but correctness matters more.You need to ship fast, but the version of fast you actually want is one that doesn't require a full rewrite in six months.
  • You're building in fintech, AI systems, WhatsApp-native operations, EdTech, or enterprise workflow automation.Industries where we have delivered production systems that are still running.

Contexts where another model may fit better:

  • Your problem is genuinely simple.If a Claude Code session or a no-code tool can solve it cleanly and you don't need multi-tenancy, RBAC, or production-grade observability, use that. We will tell you this honestly in the first call.
  • You need to validate an idea, not build a system.For early validation, a prototype built with AI tooling is better than an engineered solution. Come back when you've validated and need to build it properly.
  • You need capacity inside your existing team structure.If you have your own engineering leadership and sprint process and need developers to plug into it, that's staff augmentation, and there are firms that do it very well. Our model is different: we own the architecture and delivery outcome end to end. If you need to direct the engineering yourself, we're not the right fit, but we can point you toward firms that are.
  • You need a 20-person team from day one.We are deliberately small and take 2–3 engagements simultaneously. This is a feature for clients who fit our model, and the wrong answer for those who don't.
  • You need compliance ownership.PCI-DSS certification, RBI regulatory sign-off, or full legal compliance responsibility. We build to compliance requirements defined by your counsel. We do not hold these certifications as an organisation.
  • You need it done in two weeks for under $3,000.We can't help you there and we won't pretend otherwise. At that scope and budget, AI tools are genuinely the right answer, and we'd rather tell you that than take the engagement.

7UNIT / FAQ

Common questions about working with us

How does a typical engagement start?

We start with a fixed-scope discovery phase, usually one to two weeks, before writing production code. You get a domain map, data flow diagram, risk register, and decision log. If scope or cost needs to change, we tell you before the build starts.

Who owns the code and intellectual property?

You do. Every engagement delivers source code, documentation, and deployment assets to your repositories. We do not retain ownership of what we build for clients, and we structure contracts so you can operate independently after handoff.

How long does a typical project take?

Most product builds run in two-week sprints over three to six months, depending on scope. Discovery is one to two weeks. We ship working software at the end of every sprint, not progress slides.

Do you work with our existing engineering team?

Yes. We often embed alongside internal teams, providing senior architecture leadership, filling specific skill gaps, or running a parallel squad on a defined workstream. We also take full ownership when no internal team exists yet.

What industries do you specialise in?

Fintech, EdTech, healthcare, hospitality, and enterprise operations, with active delivery across Italy, UAE, India, and the US. Our strongest patterns are multi-tenant SaaS, WhatsApp-native products, AI agents, and document intelligence.

Do you offer India DPDP readiness assessments?

Yes. Our Engineering Assurance Assessment is an engineering-led review of the systems that handle personal data, scoped to India DPDP readiness. You leave with evidence of what was observed and a prioritised remediation roadmap. See /services/dpdp-gap-assessment.

  • You're building something that cannot afford to fail quietly.
  • You want engineering leadership from day one, not after things break.
  • You'd rather pay more once than pay twice.
