The problem
Software work keeps delaying. You need a team that delivers every week.
Your product list is growing and your team is stretched. Work keeps getting delayed. You do not need another agency pitch or freelancer trial. You need a senior team that gets work live each week and tells you what happened, without long meetings.
- If you are the founder or business owner
Your last provider left the work half done. Your team is no longer sure when things will be ready. You want someone reliable to take it over and move it forward.
- If you run the product or operations
You have a list of fixes and improvements that never end. You need a team that quietly gets through the list each week and sends a simple update you can share with your boss.
- If you are the CTO or tech lead
Every release routes through you. Hiring is slow. You want a senior team that works inside your code, ships live updates every week, and does not add more meetings to your calendar.
If any of this sounds like your week, keep reading.
A week without us vs. a week with us
Same five workdays. With Antdragon you ship every week. Without us, progress stays in meetings.
Most delivery delays are small day-to-day slips, not one dramatic failure. By Friday, teams often find little or nothing shipped. Weekly releases fix that without asking anyone to work weekends.
TL;DRSame team size. Same five workdays. The difference is whether a senior delivery team owns the week.
BEFOREA week without a delivery team
Five days of meetings. Zero releases.
A typical week without a senior delivery team. Little or nothing ships to users.
- 01Mon 09:00

- 02Tue 14:30
Something breaks. The whole team stops to fix a small setup issue.
- 03Wed 16:10
A change has been waiting for review for two days. The reviewer is busy with a client.
- 04Fri 17:45

Open tasks wrapped up. Your next weekly update is already drafted.
We went from "maybe a release by the end of the month" to real updates going live every week. My Monday mornings start with a short written report and one clear decision, not a stack of meetings.

What you get
What you actually get each week: shipped changes plus a short Monday written update.
You are not paying for "engineering hours". You are paying for four simple things that keep your software moving and keep you in the loop, without long meetings.
- every Monday morningA weekly written report
A short summary of last week, in your inbox every Monday.
You get a simple written update: what we built last week, what is going live this week, and anything that needs your decision. It takes about four minutes to read. Written in plain language so anyone on your team can understand it.
- reviewed by a senior engineerWeekly live updates
Real updates reach your users every week.
Every change that goes live is reviewed and signed off by a senior engineer. If something goes wrong, we can safely roll back to the previous version. We avoid pushing big changes late on a Friday, so problems do not spill into your weekend.
- live in PlaneA shared task list
One task list, visible to you and your team.
We keep all work in a shared task list you can open any time. Priorities are agreed with you first. You can always see what we are working on and what is next, without asking.
- saved in your codeA record of decisions
Every important decision is written down.
We keep a written record of important decisions and why we made them. It lives inside your own code. If you bring in a new team later, they have the full history, not just the finished work.
The weekly scheduleCadence · every Monday
Three steps to get started: intro call, first week of work, then the weekly schedule.
You do not need to become a technical expert to work with us. We handle the build. You make the business decisions. Every Monday, we send you a short written update on where things stand.
The week you're looking atMon → Fri.Ship Monday. Report Monday. The week is for the work.
A 15-minute call
Step 1A short call to understand your product, your goals, and what you want to move forward. If we are not a good fit, we say so and point you to someone better suited. No pressure, no long pitch.
Your first week with us
Step 2We set up access to your code and accounts with your team, then pick one useful change your users will see and get it started in the first week (once we have access to your code). Your first weekly update arrives on the Monday after your first full week with us.
A steady weekly schedule
Step 3From week two, your software moves forward every week. Real updates go live. On Monday morning, you get a short written update with what we did, what is next, and anything we need you to decide. Monthly plan. 30 days' notice to cancel. Full refund if you cancel within 7 days of your first invoice.
Ownership & security
Your code and accounts always stay yours.
We build inside your own systems. Your code, your cloud, and your accounts all belong to you. Four plain promises, written up front so nothing gets unclear later.
Paperwork
A simple contract and NDA.
We sign a standard service agreement and mutual NDA before we touch anything sensitive. No hidden clauses that make it hard to leave later.
Access
Careful, logged access.
We only take the access we need to do the work. Your passwords and secrets stay with you. Every change we make is tracked. Your security lead can join the setup call.
Accounts
Nothing is tied to us.
Your cloud, your domains, and your tools all stay in your own accounts. You can hand the work to another team at any time, without moving anything.
Monthly engagement · One fixed price
One fixed monthly price. After a short intro call and access setup, we ship weekly.
Antdragon is a monthly software development service. Every plan runs on the same weekly schedule. We build and release updates through the week and send you a short written update every Monday.

What clients say
What clients say in verified reviews.
I have been working with the team behind Antdragon for a few months now and I can honestly say it has been one of the most pleasant surprises; they own the weekly delivery, we just approve priorities and direction.
They understood our needs and budget and worked to meet those criteria. The delivery was exceptional.
They know what they're talking about and show genuine interest in our project. Very responsive when we need to make changes.
