ONE BOUNDED PROBLEM, TAKEN THROUGH THE CHANGE
Fix one high-priority game problem with a clear scope.
A short engagement for one high-priority progression, difficulty, onboarding, reward, economy, or LiveOps problem and the connected changes needed to solve it.
WHEN IT FITS
Is this what your team needs?
- An audit has already identified the main problem.
- One progression band, system, feature, or player moment needs focused redesign or balancing.
- The team needs the change, developer handoff, and measurement plan in one bounded engagement.
WHAT WE AUDIT OR DESIGN
What we'll work on.
- The evidence behind the chosen problem and the systems it may affect.
- The current values, states, level layouts, rules, player friction, and technical limits.
- The smallest change that can solve the problem without creating another one elsewhere.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Your team gets clear instructions.
- The redesigned or rebalanced values, rules, levels, or player flow in scope.
- Specific implementation notes and edge cases for development and QA.
- A pre-release validation checklist.
- A post-change measurement report when release timing and data access are included in the agreed scope.
What we need from you
A clear problem statement, relevant build or files, available evidence, technical constraints, and access to the people who will implement or approve the change.
How the work is measured
We agree on the baseline, target signal, guardrail metrics, and reporting window before the change is handed off. The exact plan depends on release traffic and the available telemetry.

QUESTIONS BEFORE STARTING
What teams usually ask.
How many problems fit in one sprint?
Usually one main problem and the connected changes needed to solve it. We set the boundary before the sprint starts.
Can you work directly with our developers?
Yes. Your developers implement and ship the changes. We provide the specific changes, answer their questions, and help validate the work within the agreed sprint scope.
Does the price include post-release data?
A post-change measurement report is included when we agree on the release timing and data access as part of the sprint scope.
