Question 1

What engagement models does RM Stacks offer for startups?

Accepted Answer

We offer three flexible models tailored to startup stage and budget: (1) Fixed-Price Milestone Projects for clearly defined MVPs and feature releases, (2) Dedicated Monthly Retainer for ongoing sprint-driven development and dedicated engineering bandwidth, and (3) Architecture & Code Audits for teams needing technical review and performance optimization.

Question 2

How do you handle time-zone differences with clients in the US, UK, and Europe?

Accepted Answer

We provide 4 to 6 hours of daily working overlap with US Eastern (EST/EDT), Pacific (PST/PDT), UK (GMT/BST), and European (CET/CEST) time zones. We run daily asynchronous standups on Slack or Discord, conduct weekly synchronous sprint demos on Zoom or Google Meet, and use Linear/Jira for real-time task transparency.

Question 3

Who owns the code and intellectual property (IP)?

Accepted Answer

You own 100% of the code, intellectual property, repositories, assets, and deployment keys. As soon as project milestones are completed, all work is pushed directly to your organization's GitHub or GitLab repository. We also sign mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) before project kickoff.

Question 4

Should I build my mobile app in Flutter or React Native?

Accepted Answer

Both are exceptional cross-platform frameworks. We recommend Flutter if you want pixel-perfect UI consistency across iOS and Android, custom vector animations, or high-performance hardware/offline requirements. We recommend React Native if your team already has deep React/TypeScript knowledge or if you plan to share significant code with a Next.js web application. We analyze your product roadmap to recommend the best fit.

Question 5

How fast can you build and launch an MVP?

Accepted Answer

A standard, high-quality MVP (Minimum Viable Product) spanning web or cross-platform mobile with a resilient backend typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from initial architectural spec to production store release. We prioritize core high-impact features so you can test market demand quickly.

Question 6

Do you handle App Store and Google Play submissions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! We manage the entire submission pipeline: provisioning profiles, app bundle builds, metadata, screenshots, App Store Review guidelines compliance, test track rollouts (TestFlight & Google Play Internal Testing), and addressing any store review inquiries until live approval.

Question 7

What happens after the application is launched?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes a complimentary 30-day post-launch warranty covering any bug fixes and performance stabilization. Beyond that, we offer monthly Application Maintenance & Support retainers covering OS updates, security patches, SLA monitoring, and continuous feature expansion.

Question 8

Can you integrate AI or machine learning into our existing product?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialize in practical AI integrations using OpenAI API, Claude, and local vector embeddings. Whether you need automated customer triage, intelligent semantic search (RAG), or real-time streaming assistants, we integrate AI workflows seamlessly into your web or mobile architecture.

Question 9

How do you ensure high code quality and test coverage?

Accepted Answer

We follow clean architecture patterns (repository pattern, strict TypeScript typing, feature-first modularization) and implement automated CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions. Every release undergoes linting, automated unit tests, and cross-device manual QA before deployment.

Question 10

What tools do you use for project management and communication?

Accepted Answer

We integrate smoothly into your preferred workflow. Our standard stack includes Slack or Discord for real-time chat, Linear or Jira for agile sprint tracking, Figma for UI/UX collaboration, GitHub for version control, and Zoom or Google Meet for weekly video syncs.

Question 11

What are your payment milestones for fixed-price projects?

Accepted Answer

Fixed-price projects are divided into structured milestones tied to verifiable deliverables (e.g., 30% kickoff upon architecture sign-off, 30% midpoint prototype review, 20% beta build testing, and 20% final store/production launch). Payments can be handled via bank wire, Stripe, or escrow.

Question 12

Can you help scale our cloud infrastructure on AWS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design and manage AWS infrastructure including S3 storage, CloudFront CDN distribution, EC2 instances, Lambda serverless functions, RDS PostgreSQL databases, and CloudWatch performance monitoring with automated alerts.
