A senior engineering team that owns your production software, month after month

The Retainer is a twelve-month-minimum engagement where the same senior engineers keep running your critical production software: monitoring it, fixing what breaks, paying down risk before it becomes next year's crisis.

Not extra hands. One team, permanently accountable for the system that keeps your business running.

Recognition

When companies move to a retainer

01

The last fix worked, but you know the next one is coming, and you don’t want to start from zero with a new vendor each time.

02

Your in-house team ships features, but nobody owns uptime, incidents and technical debt as their actual job.

03

You’ve cycled through freelancers and agencies. Each one learned the system, then left with the knowledge.

04

“Good enough” fixes are quietly becoming next year’s crisis.

05

Leadership wants one accountable team, not a ticket queue split across vendors.

If you're tired of re-explaining your system to someone new every few months, this is what we do instead.

Deliverable

What you get

Continuous ownership

Monitoring, incident response and maintenance for the systems that matter, not a shared help desk.

The same engineers over time

Continuity is the product. Nobody re-learns your system every quarter.

A running improvement roadmap

Technical debt paid down deliberately, not left to accumulate.

Monthly written reporting

What changed, what’s at risk, what’s next. Leadership never has to ask.

Direct escalation to a founder

Not a support ticket, when something urgent happens.

A clear exit path

Not a lock-in with vague terms.

Continuity is the product. The same team, the same context, month after month.

Process

How it works

01

A conversation with a founder

You describe what’s under continuous risk. If a retainer is the wrong instrument, we say so.
02

We arrive within a week

Onboarding starts fast, not after months of procurement.
03

First 30 days: a full system walkthrough

We learn what matters before we touch anything.
04

Ongoing: a monthly cadence

Maintenance, incident response and roadmap review, with a founder in the loop on anything material.
05

Twelve-month checkpoint

Renew, adjust scope, or wind down. Terms are set upfront, not renegotiated under pressure.

Not sure if you need a retainer or a one-time fix? Tell us the situation and a founder will tell you honestly which one fits.

Proof

Track record

Continuity in practice

Continuity is the whole premise of a retainer. The proof point that belongs here is a client we've run for years, not one we fixed once.

The team

Who runs it

WWG is the team companies call when critical production software is under pressure and the in-house team plus the usual suspects cannot stabilize it.

Twenty-six years of track record. International senior engineers. On retainer, it's the same team month over month, not a rotating bench.

Often the team that ran your audit or stabilization, continuing the work under one roof.

FAQ

Questions leadership asks us

One senior team, permanently accountable for uptime, incidents and technical debt on the system that matters most. Not a rotating bench, not a single advisor. Some call this a fractional CTO or fractional engineering team—ours is the full team behind that title.
Most of our retainer clients do. We’re not replacing your team—we own one specific system or risk area: uptime, incidents, compliance-critical code, that nobody currently owns as their actual job. Scope is agreed upfront, no overlap.
A shorter engagement barely covers onboarding before it ends. Twelve months is long enough for us to know your system as well as you do, short enough that we still have to earn the renewal.
Depends on the system. If it’s fundamentally sound, we start directly on retainer, within a week of agreeing scope. If it’s actively failing, we stabilize it first, then move to retainer once it’s holding steady.
Companies whose production software is critical enough that no one being permanently accountable for it is itself a risk. If that’s your situation, the size and shape of your team matters less than getting it solved.
