How is Specless Engineering different from Agile or Scrum, and why should we trust it for our project?

Specless Engineering isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a methodology we created in-house and how we get things done faster and better. Unlike Agile or Scrum, we don’t wait for you to create a perfect spec or spend weeks in planning meetings. Instead, we start with your goals and build from there.
‍

You don’t have to micromanage us. We take ownership, adapt as we go, and deliver working features you can actually use—not just what’s written in a requirements doc. If you’ve ever been burned by “we built what you asked for, not what you needed,” you’ll appreciate the difference.

You emphasize senior talent, but how do you handle larger teams or specialized needs?

We work like a boutique, not a giant outsourcing firm. Our team is senior (10+ years, not the 3 years others designate their devs with the senior tag), meaning we bring experience and results without wasting time. But when your project demands it, we scale up with specialists from our trusted network, whether for AI, IoT, or any other niche area.

‍

Here’s the bottom line: we don’t throw warm bodies at the problem. Everyone we bring in is vetted and aligned with our high standards for ourselves and our clients. You get quality, not just quantity.

How do you ensure compliance with regulatory standards like HIPAA, ISO, or FDA?

Compliance is non-negotiable for us. From HIPAA to FDA and ISO standards, we’ve been there and done that. Whether protecting ePHI or ensuring an audit-ready platform, we embed compliance into every process step.

‍

We don’t just stop at following regulations. We’ve also helped companies establish their Quality Management Systems (QMS) to ensure long-term success and alignment with industry standards. For example, we’ve worked with clients preparing for 510(k) submissions, ensuring their platforms are ready for FDA approval.

‍

Lastly, we routinely sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) because we take responsibility for your data and reputation.

How does Pi Tech structure pricing, and what value do you offer over cheaper providers?

We’re not the cheapest, and that’s by design. You’re not just paying for hours—you’re paying for expertise, efficiency, and results. Our pricing is straightforward, so you always know what to expect:

‍

• Project Work: Typical projects range from $75,000 to $650,000.

‍

• Staff Augmentation: The average cost per staff member is $10,000 to $15,000 per month.

‍

• Engagements: Clients typically hire us for 1 to 4 projects per year, with staff engagements lasting 3 to 12 months.

‍

Why do our clients choose us? Because we only work with senior-level developers who know how to deliver. With us, you’re not wasting money fixing mistakes or managing an inexperienced team. Instead, you’re getting a partner who takes ownership, adapts to your needs, and gets the job done right the first time.

‍

Think of it this way: would you rather go with a team that looks cheap on paper but ends up costing more in delays and rework—or a team that delivers real value from day one?

What if our requirements change mid-project?

Change happens—it’s part of the process, and we’re ready for it. Specless Engineering is designed to handle shifting priorities without derailing the project. We don’t freeze up because something new gets added. We adjust, we adapt, and we keep moving.

‍

We stay in close touch with you throughout the project, showing progress and gathering feedback. If your needs evolve, we pivot. No drama, no delays—just solutions that keep pace with your business.
