## Fit check

If you answer yes to four or more, an engagement is worth discussing.

1. **Can developers use your product today?** It has launched, or there is a fixed launch date and a working version Hackmamba can use.
2. **Do developers affect whether you grow?** Developers use, integrate, deploy, extend, recommend or influence the purchase of your product.
3. **Can you name the commercial result you need?** A launch, qualified demand, activation, faster integration, adoption or fewer support requests.
4. **Will someone inside your company own the engagement?** A founder, marketing leader, product lead, DevRel lead or documentation owner who can make decisions and keep reviews moving.
5. **Can Hackmamba use the product and speak with your technical experts?** Product access, performance data and timely reviews are required.

## When not to hire Hackmamba yet

- Your product is still an idea and developers have nothing to use or test.
- Developers neither use your product nor influence the purchase.
- You want cheap bulk copy, AI-generated filler, a website build, product naming, programmatic SEO or a standalone Discord community.
- Nobody inside your company can own decisions, provide product access or review technical work.
- You have no committed budget, or expect a new marketing programme to produce revenue within 30 days.

## FAQ

### Do we need to choose a service before the first call?

No. Hackmamba reviews your product, current marketing and business goal before recommending a scope.

### Can we hire Hackmamba for one service?

Yes. A focused engagement is often the right start when the problem sits within content, documentation, paid media, search or DevRel.

### What happens after the free audit?

If there is a fit, Hackmamba recommends one of the three engagement types and sends a scope tied to the business result, the people involved and the work it will own.

### How does an engagement usually begin?

Content engagements often begin with a paid trial month. Launches, documentation migrations and audits usually have a fixed scope and deadline. Ongoing programmes run month to month or under a longer statement of work.

### Can Hackmamba work with our existing team?
