"RunWhatMatters is the rare studio that thinks like a co-founder. They shipped a hospital-grade product in eleven weeks — and they were still in the war room when the FDA audit hit. Boston's best-kept secret, and they know it."

FAQ

Frequently asked, honestly answered.

What does RunWhatMatters do?
RunWhatMatters is a Boston-based software engineering studio that builds custom enterprise software, AI integrations, cloud platforms, mobile apps, web apps, and HubSpot integrations. We turn your hardest problem into shipped software in 11 weeks.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on engagement type, scope, and timeline. Most engagements fall into a few typical bands. We share concrete numbers on the 30-min scoping call after we understand your problem.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements kick off within 2-3 weeks of signed contract. We hold a small bench for rush work — accessibility audits, security incidents, board-driven deadlines.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We have a mutual NDA that can be executed in under 24 hours, plus pre-cleared templates for HIPAA BAAs, DPAs, and the standard enterprise contracting stack.
Do you work on AI projects?
Yes. Production-grade AI — LLMs, RAG, autonomous agents, computer vision, predictive ML. We build the evals, guardrails, and MLOps that turn a model demo into a defensible product.
