Project Solution
Mad Devs supplied subcontracted engineering resources to augment the client's internal team.

They provided flexible staffing (initially one contributor, later 6–7 developers on a security audit project) and billed hourly with quarterly statements of work.
Project Outcome
- Helped the client reach alpha and beta milestones for the project
- Improved project management and communication through two-week sprints, regular status calls, and collaboration via Discord/Slack
- Became a trusted, long-term extension of the client's team
