You aren't paying us for 100 hours of coding.
You're paying us for 20 years of knowing which 5 hours matter.
RAD Cornerstone is a boutique studio of senior architects — every teammate has 15+ years shipping production software for real businesses. We don't scale by adding juniors; we scale by removing the work that never needed to happen in the first place.
Fractional Engagement
Seniors don't sit on one project for 40 hours a week. They act as architect-leads, using AI agents to handle documentation, unit tests, and boilerplate — cutting their active hours by ~60% without cutting quality.
Zero-Waste Process
No 20-page requirement docs. Visual prototyping is the contract: if you can see it and click it, that's what we build. Every hour we don't waste is an hour off your invoice.
The Expert Pitch
Anyone can generate code now. Knowing which code to keep — and which to throw away — is the last skill AI hasn't touched. That's what two decades of pattern recognition buys you.
The Cornerstone in our name.
A cornerstone is the first stone set in a foundation — every other stone is placed in reference to it. We chose the name because we believe the first architectural decision on a project quietly determines the next hundred. Get it right and everything after is easier. Get it wrong and no amount of code fixes it later.
It's also a nod to the way we work: solid, patient, principled. We show up when we say we will, we say what we mean, and we don't leave you holding a codebase we can't explain.
