Engagement Models
Four ways to work with us — from fixed-scope projects to long-tenure embedded engineers shipping inside your product team. Pick the model that matches your goals; we will tell you honestly if you should pick a different one.
Project Delivery
Fixed scope, fixed timeline, accountable outcome
Classic engagement model for well-defined initiatives — implementations, migrations, modernizations, and product builds where scope, timeline, and success criteria can be defined up front. GreenPot owns the program management, technical leadership, and delivery accountability end to end.
Best for
- Salesforce or SAP implementations with defined scope
- Cloud, data, or AI platform builds with a clear MVP target
- Application modernization and migration programs
- AI/ML proof-of-value engagements with defined success metrics
How it works
- Discovery, scoping, and architecture in a dedicated initiation phase
- Cross-functional delivery team with named architect and program manager
- Agile delivery with bi-weekly demos and milestone-based checkpoints
- Quality gates, UAT, hypercare, and structured transition to operate
Dedicated Pods
Long-running, cross-functional squads aligned to your roadmap
A dedicated pod is a stable, cross-functional team that operates as an extension of your engineering or data org. Pods stay aligned to your roadmap, accumulate institutional knowledge, and ship continuously — without the overhead of repeated onboarding cycles.
Best for
- Product companies needing predictable, ongoing engineering capacity
- Enterprises running multi-year platform or data programs
- AI/ML teams that need consistent ML, MLOps, and platform expertise
- Salesforce or Service Cloud programs with continuous build and run
How it works
- Pod composition designed around your roadmap (engineers, leads, QA, specialists)
- Stable team that stays for the long horizon — no rotating bodies
- Operates within your processes, ceremonies, and tooling
- Quarterly business reviews tracking outcomes, retention, and capacity
Embedded Engineers
Our engineers, outsourced into your team — shipping under your brand
This is the engagement model behind some of our largest, longest-running partnerships. We outsource senior engineers — AI, Salesforce, security, data — directly into your product and engineering teams. They sit in your standups, ship into your repos, and (where relevant) deliver under your brand into your end customers. We take care of hiring, retention, growth, and continuity; you get engineers who feel like your own. Both product companies and service-led firms use this model to scale capability without scaling the cost and complexity of full-time hiring.
Best for
- Product companies co-building AI, Salesforce, or platform features
- ISVs and SaaS firms scaling engineering without scaling overhead
- IT services firms and SIs that need flexible delivery capacity
- Consulting firms running implementation programs at Fortune 500 clients
How it works
- Senior engineers selected and matched to your team's needs
- Full integration into your processes, repos, on-call, and team culture
- Long-tenure model — the engineers you start with stay for years
- Career growth, training, and engineering quality stay our responsibility
Build-Operate-Transfer
We build and run your capability; you eventually take it over
A long-horizon model where GreenPot builds and operates an entire capability — an AI engineering pod, a Salesforce CoE, a security operations function, a data platform team — and then transfers it to your organization once it has matured. You get speed-to-capability without long-term lock-in.
Best for
- Enterprises standing up new AI/ML, security, or data CoEs
- Companies entering new geographies and building offshore capacity
- Programs that want to internalize capability over a 2-3 year horizon
- Product firms standing up an engineering team in a new region
How it works
- Build phase: GreenPot hires, structures, and operationalizes the team
- Operate phase: team delivers under our umbrella with quality and SLAs
- Transfer phase: structured handover of team, IP, processes, and tooling
- Optional ongoing managed services after transfer
Not sure which model fits?
Tell us about your goals and constraints. We have a strong opinion about the right model for each kind of engagement — and we will tell you honestly if your situation is better served by a different partner or a different shape entirely.
