Your tech side, owned.
I take over the technical side of your product: run, watched, fixed before you notice, evolving every month. A short client list, capped on purpose. A twelve-month engagement, billed monthly. This is the offer; everything else on this site is a way in.
The week your expert disappears.
You know the story because you lived a version of it. The CTO leaves for an offer he could not refuse. The agency delivers, invoices, and moves on. The freelancer answers slower every month, then not at all. The product still runs, but nobody owns it: problems surface the day they happen, every invoice is a small mystery, and with AI, everyone you interview seems like an expert, until the day it matters.
La Résidence exists so that story ends here. Your product moves in: watched, backed up, fixed, improved a little every month, with one person accountable by name and everything visible to you.
The first three months, written down.
Two ways to move in: a product that already exists, or a product that does not exist yet. Different first months, the same house by month three.
The rescue
The audit
Before anything is signed, I read your code: all of it. You get the verdict and the plan, and the last chapter of the PDF is already month one. €2,000, credited against your first month.
Moving in
The rescue starts with the audit's fix list. Your product moves into its own space, in your name: test and production environments, nightly backups, a restore rehearsed for real. From this month on, every error is caught the second it fires.
The rhythm
Dependencies brought current and kept there. Deploys become non-events: validated on test, live in under a minute, zero downtime. The first evolutions ship, and your first Friday digest arrives.
Cruise
The backlog moves every month, most bugs die before you hear about them, and the monthly statement says exactly what the month was for. Every month after looks like this one.
The first build
The scope
We write version one down in the Forge before any code exists: what ships, in what order, and the smallest version that can face a real user.
Foundations
A real URL in week one. Production infrastructure from day one: backups, monitoring, telemetry. Your product is born watched, not retrofitted years later.
The build
Features land on the test environment every week and go live as you validate them. You follow every step in the Forge, and every sprint ends with a guided video tour.
The launch
Version one opens to real users carrying what most products wait years for: watched around the clock, fixed overnight, one name accountable.
Month four, and every month after: the same house. Watched, evolving, one person answering for it, and the door always open.
What €3,975 actually buys.
You see every line. The guarantee covers all of it and no line can be removed: that is what makes it a roof instead of a menu. The work is the one dial. Here is the honest market price of assembling it yourself.
La Résidence
Your product in its own dedicated space, in your name from day one: test and production, nightly backups with rehearsed restores, updates, watched around the clock.
Incident response
One person accountable end to end. An incident is taken within two business hours and owned until the fix is live and its cause written down; miss that once, and the month's guarantee is free. At night, the machine watches.
Evolution
The product improves every month, from 5,000 credits of work: small changes live within days, bigger ideas come back as a written proposal, priced before work starts.
A CTO at your table
Architecture, trade-offs, build or buy, the next hire: technical questions get one owner, and the answer comes back with the trade-off spelled out.
The Forge
One page where you see everything: what is live, what I am working on, what is waiting on your decision. You never have to ask where things stand.
Reporting
A short digest every Friday, a guided video tour at the end of every sprint, and a written monthly statement, itemized line by line.
Living documentation
How the system works, how to run it, what to do when things break, who owns what: written down and kept in step with the code as it changes. Yours from day one, which is what makes an exit calm instead of chaotic.
Self-healing
When a bug fires at 2am, an AI agent picks it up, diagnoses it, and ships the fix, checked against the rules of your codebase. Most bugs die before you wake up.
The warranty
If something I shipped breaks, fixing it is free, for as long as I operate your product. Agencies bill you for their own bugs; mine are on me.
The handover
The documented, priced exit: code, infrastructure, accounts, everything transferred, with an architecture walkthrough and 30 days of questions. You can leave whole; that is why you stay.
Spread across five vendors, with the five lines that matter most not for sale, and still nobody answering for the whole.
La Résidence
The guarantee, €1,200, plus at least 5,000 credits of work a month. One name. Twelve months, billed monthly.
The same engagement, written for the buyer comparing providers: Fractional CTO Services. For a product that only needs keeping in production: Software Maintenance and Support Services.
The house that repairs itself.
La Résidence does something no agency contract does: when a bug happens, an AI agent picks it up, diagnoses it, and ships the fix. Most of the time, before you ever knew there was one.
An error fires in your app. Nobody is awake. It is caught anyway.
The agent picks it up, reads the error, and starts diagnosing.
The fix is written, checked against the rules of the codebase, and shipped.
You read about it in your weekly digest. That is how you find out.
Not every fix ships itself: the ones that need human judgment come to me, within two business hours, not to you. Either way, the error was caught the second it fired, and the digest tells you the story.
Twelve months, and the exit in writing.
The usual agency model keeps you by making leaving painful. I would rather keep you by being worth it, every month. So the exit is part of the offer, in writing:
A year, billed monthly
La Résidence is a twelve-month engagement, billed monthly: the guarantee, €1,200, plus your month of work, from 5,000 credits at the yearly rate. The first month is often the rescue: the audit's fix list, executed.
Defects are on me
If something I shipped breaks, fixing it is free, for as long as I run your product. Not a gesture: a warranty.
Leaving is a product, not a fight
Want to take it in-house one day? The handover is documented and priced: your code, your infrastructure, your accounts, everything transferred, with an architecture walkthrough and 30 days of questions. You leave with everything, because everything was already yours.
Ownership does not scale.
Watching a product, knowing its code down to the last line, answering for it under a guarantee that costs me a month whenever I miss it: I can do that for a handful of products, not for forty. So the cap is written into the offer, and I would rather turn work away than carry more than I can answer for.
When the seats are full, the door becomes a waitlist: the audit still runs, the verdict is still yours, and the next free seat is offered in order.
Seats are capped, so the audit decides.
I only take responsibility for products I have read down to the last line. So every seat starts with the Expert Audit: you get the verdict and the plan, I get the answer to whether I can own your product with you. Working products with real users and real revenue come first; that is what the seats are for.
If the audit says yes and a seat is open, the last chapter of the PDF is already your first month's plan, and the audit is credited against that month. If it says no, you keep the verdict and the plan. No seat required.
The questions people actually ask.
Why from €3,975, when a freelancer costs €1,500 a month?
What if nothing breaks for a month? Am I paying for silence?
What is included, and what costs extra?
My product was built by someone else. Can it still move in?
Who does the work, you or the AI?
You are one person. What if you are the one who disappears?
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
The seats are full. What does the waitlist actually mean?
Worst case, you get the verdict.
Start with the audit: €2,000, the truth about what you own in 48 hours, and the plan I would run. Best case, your product gets an owner.
