Closing context: we deliberately keep our Rhode Island coffee shops & cafés engagements small enough that you talk to the engineers shipping your code. That's not a slogan — it's the entire delivery model. If you want a global agency with a 12-person account team, we're the wrong call. If you want the work shipped right, we're not.
