For agencies and consultancies

Say yes to the data, AI and cloud work your clients ask for

An engineering partner for an agency adds skills the agency does not keep in house, such as data platforms, AI features and cloud engineering. The agency leads the project. We agree where we fit, work inside its process and tools, and hand over documented work it can support.

01 Outcomes

What changes for you

  • Specialists when a brief needs them

    Data, AI and cloud engineers join for the parts of a project that need them, instead of a hire you cannot keep busy between briefs.

  • Roles settled before work starts

    Who speaks to the client, who decides on scope and who reviews the code is agreed in writing at the start, so nobody has to guess.

  • Work your team can carry on

    Decisions, code and runbooks are documented as we go, so your team can support the result after the project ends.

One specialist workstream

  1. Week 1

    You
    Share the client brief, the constraints and the parts of the build your team will own.
    Nexstella
    Read the brief, ask the technical questions and write a plan for the data or AI workstream.

  2. Week 2

    You
    Take the plan into your client conversations and confirm the scope.
    Nexstella
    Set up environments in accounts the client owns and start on the riskiest part first.

  3. Weeks 3 to 6

    You
    Run the project, review progress in your usual meetings and own the client sign-off.
    Nexstella
    Build the workstream in your repositories and review process, with a written update each week.

  4. Handover

    You
    Take on support for the workstream, with the documentation in hand.
    Nexstella
    Walk your team through the code, runbooks and decisions, and answer their questions.

Technical review before you quote

  1. First days

    You
    Send the brief and what the client has told you about their systems.
    Nexstella
    Review the brief and the systems, and list the open technical questions.

  2. End of week 1

    You
    Decide which of those questions to take back to the client.
    Nexstella
    Write up the approach, the risks and the skills the work would need, in plain terms.

  3. Before you quote

    You
    Price and propose the work in your own way.
    Nexstella
    Answer follow-up questions and confirm which parts we could take on if the work goes ahead.

Extra hands on your backlog

  1. Week 1

    You
    Point us to the backlog, the repositories and how your team likes to work.
    Nexstella
    Join your tools and meetings, and pick up a small first ticket to learn the codebase.

  2. Week 2

    You
    Set the priorities and review our pull requests as you would any engineer's.
    Nexstella
    Work through the agreed tickets, with tests and a note on anything we change.

  3. Ongoing

    You
    Adjust the capacity as client work grows or slows.
    Nexstella
    Keep delivering against your backlog and raise technical risks early.

02 How it starts

How it starts

  1. A conversation about the work

    You tell us about the client project, or the kind of brief you keep turning down, and what your own team already covers.

  2. Agree where we fit

    We settle the scope, the roles, who speaks to the client, and how reviews and escalation will run, before anyone writes code.

  3. Work inside your process

    We join your repositories, tools and meetings, and report progress in writing every week.

  4. Hand over cleanly

    Documentation, access and knowledge transfer are part of the plan from the start, so support can stay with your team.

The usual engagement model: Flexible engineering

03 Start

Bring us the brief you were about to turn down

Book a first conversation. Tell us about the project and your team, and hear an honest view of whether we fit, and where.

What happens next

  1. You pick a time, or send us a message.
  2. A person at Nexstella reads what you shared before we talk.
  3. You leave with a clear next step, even when that step is to wait.

Or write to [email protected]. Send a brief instead

Meet

Pick a time for a 30-minute conversation

What is your work email? The calendar invite and the video link go there.

The invite goes to the calendar you work from. Personal address? Use the Contact tab . If you stop before picking a time, we send one reminder to this address, and nothing else.

Contact

Send us a message

Pick the topic that fits and tell us what you are working on. A person replies within one business day.

A person replies from a real address.

Phone (optional)

Choose the country code, then type the number without it.

The topic leads the subject line, so the right person picks it up first.

A few sentences is plenty. You do not need to know which technology you need.

We use what you send to reply and, if it leads somewhere, to scope the work. Read the privacy notice, or write to [email protected].
