Clear answer to a specific product, market, architecture, data, AI, integration, or feasibility question
Estimate
Practical starting point.
Typical estimate: $8K
Typical timeline: About 4 weeks
Scope: The estimate is a practical starting point. Final pricing follows the approved deliverables, integrations, risk, and launch requirements.
Research should end in a decision, not a pile of links. CodexDeus combines technical investigation, product judgment, lightweight prototyping, source review, and written recommendations so the next build starts with less uncertainty.
Best for: Founders making an expensive technical decision, evaluating an unfamiliar market or tool, testing feasibility, planning a web application, or needing evidence before choosing what to build.
What You Get
Built around real operations.
Primary-source evidence, tradeoffs, risks, unknowns, and assumptions separated from conclusions
Technical options compared by cost, complexity, reliability, security, and time to production
Concrete recommendation for what to build, test, buy, integrate, postpone, or reject
Deliverables
What the engagement includes.
- Research brief and decision criteria
- Source-backed technical and competitive findings
- Architecture, tool, vendor, data, or workflow comparison as scoped
- Feasibility prototype or experiment when useful
- Written recommendation, risks, next steps, and build implications
Fit
Who should reach out.

FAQ
Direct answers for founders and search.
What makes this applied research?
The work is tied to a real decision. Research may include source review, product and market analysis, architecture comparisons, API testing, data evaluation, or a small proof of concept, but it ends with a recommendation you can act on.
Can the research lead into a web app build?
Yes. When the evidence supports building and the fit is right, the research becomes the foundation for a separately scoped website or full-stack web application engagement.
Who does the work?
David Bramante does the technical work through CodexDeus: product judgment, architecture, frontend, backend, integrations, deployment, and launch support.
