Outbound Sprint Offer • $0 • Fixed Scope • 1 Backlog Item

Give us the one backlog item your team hasn't touched in months. We'll deliver it done.

A free trial from Horizon Labs for teams with existing codebases. You pick one stuck feature, stubborn integration, or high-priority bug. We audit what it takes, write the plan, build it in your repo, and ship it tested and documented.

Qualification Check

Strictly for existing backlogs. Not for greenfield MVPs.

We only take on trials where we can ship production-grade code within a single sprint.

✓

Who this trial is for

  • •Existing production codebases: Live apps, active repos, and established testing environments.
  • •High-friction backlog items: 3rd-party integrations, webhook sync, database latency bottlenecks, or complex bugs.
  • •Engineering leaders evaluating specialists: CTOs and tech leads wanting to stress-test real velocity and communication.
  • •Single point of contact: One technical decision-maker who can review and merge.
✕

Who this is NOT for

  • •Idea-stage founders with no product yet: This is for real backlogs, not napkin sketches or Figma mocks.
  • •Building complete new products or MVPs: Full MVPs require discovery and architecture (see our Fixed-Price MVP package).
  • •Multi-month architectural overhauls: Items too large for a sprint will be declined with honest feedback.
  • •Passive committees: Teams unable to provide repo access or feedback during the sprint.
