We breach thecomplexityof intelligent software
220 engineers, researchers and designers across three regions, building production platforms and AI systems for organisations that operate under regulation — from first architecture sketch to the millionth request per minute.
Trusted by regulated, operationally critical organisations

- US healthcare platform
- Nordic composite insurer
- Industrial manufacturer, 12 sites
- Regional utility, Iberia
- Omnichannel retailer, Europe
- UK payments processor
Named references available under NDA at proposal stage.
Cross-functional pods of engineers, ML researchers and designers — embedded with your team and accountable for outcomes, not hours.
Engineering
Building and rebuilding the software your business runs on.
Data & AI
Turning data into systems that decide, predict and generate.
Cloud & Security
The platform underneath — fast, observable and defensible.
Advisory
Deciding what to build, and proving it will work, before you spend.
Nine sectors, each with its own compliance surface, its own data problems and its own definition of an unacceptable failure.
Every figure below is one the client agreed we could publish. Nothing here is rounded up.
Pick the commercial shape that fits the work. We will tell you if you have picked the wrong one.
Dedicated team
A cross-functional pod — engineers, ML specialists, design and delivery — embedded with your organisation and accountable for outcomes.
Best forOngoing product development where scope will evolve.
- Named team with agreed seniority mix
- Two-week increments, demoed to your stakeholders
- Shared backlog and direct access to every engineer
- Quarterly business review against agreed outcomes
Monthly, by team composition. Thirty days' notice.
Fixed scope, fixed price
A defined deliverable with a defined budget — proofs of concept, audits, due diligence and migrations with a clear finish line.
Best forWell-bounded work where budget certainty matters most.
- Written statement of work and acceptance criteria
- Fixed price agreed before work begins
- Weekly progress against the defined milestones
- Change control for anything outside the agreed scope
Fixed fee, milestone-based invoicing.
Team augmentation
Senior specialists joining your existing teams and your existing process, for capability you need now rather than a team you need to hire.
Best forFilling a specific capability gap inside a working team.
- Individually selected, interviewed by your leads
- Working in your process, your tools, your repositories
- Knowledge transfer built into the engagement
- Ramp-down plan agreed at the start
Monthly per specialist. Thirty days' notice.
Managed service
We operate the system under an SLA — whether we built it or inherited it — with the option to hand it back whenever you want it.
Best forBusiness-critical systems you would rather not staff a rotation for.
- Agreed response and restoration targets
- Follow-the-sun cover across three regions
- Shared dashboards, status page and incident reviews
- Rehearsed transition-out plan
Monthly, by service tier and coverage window.
Discovery & feasibility
Two to three weeks mapping the problem space, validating data readiness and de-risking the hardest technical assumption before budget is committed.
Architecture & prototype
A working thin slice through the full stack — real data, real latency, real cost model. Decisions become measurable rather than theoretical.
Build & harden
Two-week increments, trunk-based, everything observable. Evaluation suites and load tests run on every merge, not in the week before launch.
Scale & hand over
Runbooks, training and an embedded transition period — so your team owns the system with confidence, or we keep operating it under an SLA. Your call.
Binary Breach was founded on a stubborn belief: the hardest part of software is not writing it, it's keeping it honest as it grows.
We are 220 engineers, ML researchers and designers across Austin, Lisbon and Karachi, working in small senior pods. There are no layers between the people who design a system and the people who carry the pager for it — which turns out to be the cheapest quality control mechanism ever invented.
We write our own evaluations, publish our benchmarks internally, and will tell you when a model is the wrong answer to your problem. Roughly a third of the proofs of concept we run end with a recommendation not to proceed.
Bias to production
A demo proves nothing. We optimise for the day the system meets real traffic, and we design backwards from it.
Measure or don't ship
Every claim we make about a system has a dashboard behind it. If it isn't measured, we don't assert it.
Own the boring parts
Migrations, backfills, on-call, documentation. The unglamorous work is where trust is actually built.
Say the hard thing
We would rather lose a scope than let you build the wrong system. Roughly a third of our proofs end in a recommendation not to proceed.
Our controls are maintained through automated evidence collection wired into delivery pipelines — the same approach we implement for clients. Reports are available under NDA.

What clients say about working with Binary Breach
A short conversation with an engineer, not a sales qualification call. If we're the wrong people for it, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
