You built it.
We get it launched.
Twin Designs and Tech finishes and launches software for founders who built with AI or a dev team and got stuck before the finish line. We also build AI automations and new products.
Close to done, and stuck there.
AI tools let you build most of a product by yourself. The part they leave unfinished is the part that lets you launch: accounts that work for real users, payments that land in the right place, data that is still there tomorrow. That is the work we do.
- It works on your screen, but not for customers.
- Every fix breaks something else.
- Nobody can tell you how far off launch is.
Where are you stuck?

Nine things to check before you call it finished.
Nine delivery lessons, practical examples and the question to ask about each one. Written for founders, not engineers.
- Nine checks to run before you call the product finished
- A specific question to ask about each one, in plain English
- Lessons from taking over unfinished software projects
Start here
The Diagnostic: $999, back in 24 to 48 hours.
We go through your product, your accounts and where the business stands, and work out why it has not launched or why it is not performing. You get a written plan for what to build next. If you go on to build with us, the $999 comes off that work.
What you get
- A plain answer: finish it, rebuild part of it, or stop
- What works today and what is blocking launch, in order of importance
- A build plan for the next phase: a PRD, a spec or a technical plan, whichever fits
- A fixed quote for that next phase
The consultation is free. The Diagnostic only starts if you want it.
Example report. Not a real client.
- The product
- A booking app built in Lovable on Supabase
- Our answer
- Finish it. Most of what exists is worth keeping.
- Blocking launch
- Customers can see each other’s bookings, because the data rules were never set
- Payments go through but the booking is not confirmed
- Password reset emails never arrive
- Can wait
- The admin dashboard styling and the reports page
- Next phase
- Fix the three blockers, test with five real customers, then launch
You see every step. You keep control.
You know what we are building, what it costs and when you will see it. Your code and accounts stay in your name the whole way through.

Companies we've earned a seat in.
We invest in the companies we build for and stay on as partners. Some are live and growing, some are mid-build. Open any of them.
What clients said while we were building.
These are from project calls and emails, used with each person's permission.
“A three-person team doesn't normally ship a working product this fast.”
“It looks really good. I'm actually very impressed with what you came up with.”
“That looks so much better. Thank you. It's coming together. I'm super excited.”
“I appreciate you taking it over ... I like where it's going better.”
The toolbox
What we build with.
The tools we use most. If your product runs on something else, we will tell you on the call whether we are the right team for it.
How we work with you
You stay in charge of your own product.
Your code and accounts are in your name from the first day, and we tell you when something is not worth finishing. You see working software as we go, so you can check the progress yourself.
Your repo and keys are yours from day one
What we build for you lives in your repository and in accounts your business controls. At handover you get the setup instructions and configuration references, and we agree who is responsible for running what.
Not every product should be finished
After an assessment we may recommend rebuilding, cutting scope or stopping. We put the reasons and the limits of what we looked at in writing before you approve any build work.
Working releases you can review
We agree with you how often you review the work, what counts as done and who signs off. You see each release in your own accounts and can compare it with the plan and what is left.
What happens on the call
First 10 minutes
You talk and we listen: what you want to improve, the tools you use now and the result you need.
Next 15 minutes
We give you our first read: what needs investigation and what a first piece of work would cover.
Last 5 minutes
If it makes sense, we set up the $999 Diagnostic. If it does not, we say so and point you somewhere useful.
30 minutes to talk through the project and agree a next step. The call does not replace a technical assessment.
“I appreciate you taking it over ... I like where it's going better.”
Robert Futch, UpGig
Questions founders ask
We agree the scope and price in writing before we start, along with how often you review the work and how we both check that it is done. Your code and operating accounts stay under your business’s control. The Diagnostic gives you a written assessment you can use to decide what to do next. Our case studies show the products we have worked on and the stage each one is at.
What we build for you lives in your repository and in accounts your business controls. The written agreement should cover the ownership terms, third-party licenses, handover responsibilities and how you recover access.
Then you will hear it from us first, with the reasons in writing. Sometimes the right call is a rebuild that keeps the thinking and replaces the code. Sometimes it is finishing what exists. Either way you decide with real information.
The first conversation is free. The Diagnostic has an agreed scope and a fixed price. A build proposal lists what is included, the assumptions, what is left out, the recurring costs and how changes get approved.
We plan around your current users and test the journeys the change touches. Before cutover we agree how we will check that it worked and how we would recover if it did not. The approach depends on the architecture, data and integrations involved.
The partners
Two founders, in it with you.
Jonathan Chamblee and Dalton Locke run TDAT together. Jonathan works on the architecture and delivery, and Dalton brings experience building businesses. TDAT finishes and launches software for founders, and builds AI automations and new products.
Jonathan Chamblee
Founder & CEO, TDAT · COO, PONO.AI · Co-Founder, LifeScribeAI and dBunk
"I know what it costs to build something great and what it costs even more to watch it fail because the execution was not there. I believe that the right idea in the right hands at the right speed changes everything. TDAT exists to be those hands."
Jonathan sold enterprise software before he wrote any, so he learned early which products get bought and which sit unused. He founded TDAT without investors. He works directly with founders on architecture, delivery decisions and what has to be true before a release goes out.
- 100+
- applications across Jonathan's career
- $170M+
- portfolio value across that work
Dalton Locke
Founder, PONO.AI · Co-Founder, MIT45 · Host, The Spiritual Capitalist
"Build the business without losing the soul."
Dalton’s work spans PONO.AI, MIT45 and The Innovators Table, a private founder gathering. At TDAT, he brings founder relationships and business-building experience to discussions about a product’s market, distribution and next priorities.

What the work has taught us
A release needs a working customer journey
A release is useful when a customer can get through the whole task. The UpGig rebuild includes employer workflows, a hiring pipeline and AI phone screens. We review journeys like those to decide whether the product does its job.
See the UpGig decisions and lessonsA chat reply needs somewhere to go
In PONO, work from an assistant conversation can become a task in a selected project, with an optional assignee and an Open the task link after a successful save. The reply ends up as work that a person owns and can check.
Follow PONO’s conversation-to-task workflowA voice feature has work after the call
LifeScribe connects Ari’s conversations to transcripts, saved memories and family access controls. The release covers the path from a conversation to the material a family member can find and read.
Explore LifeScribe’s memory workflowOwnership needs a usable handover
A founder needs access to the repository and the operating accounts, plus the setup instructions for running the product. We agree those, and how the work will be checked, as part of the scope.

Tell us where things stand. We will say what we would do, what it would cost to find out, and whether we are the right people for it.
