Continuity

What this factsheet does not know
- How good the work is. Figures do not measure creativity, strategy or chemistry.
- How the client portfolio is spread. Concentration is not in the accounts.
- Freelancers and subcontractors are not in the FTE figures. An agency with 40 staff may in practice run with 70 people.
- The figures cover financial year 2025, filed on 07/07/2026. At a fast-moving agency reality today may differ.

People 5 people mapped
This is first a build crew — 3 of 5 are developers. Within that core, Full Stack, Frontend and Backend stand out. The titles skew top-heavy: lots of seniority, few juniors — you're mostly buying experience. A specialist, not a generalist: the expertise is narrow but deep.
Based on public profiles. Something wrong? Let us know.
Seniors or juniors?
Payroll cost per FTE is the best public proxy for a team's experience level. Higher is not automatically better, but it says something about who sits at the table.
Will your team stay?
Inflow and outflow from the social report. This series only counts people on the payroll: freelancers who invoice do not appear in it. A low figure therefore means two very different things, a stable permanent team or a small core with heavy outsourcing. A high figure usually points to short contracts. Compare only within the same type of agency.
Figures for financial year 2024: in 2025 this agency published no inflow or outflow.
