The honest comparison
Why founders choose Fraction
over traditional models
Fraction
Outcome Based Engineering
|
Traditional
Models |
|
|---|---|---|
| Who's building | Senior US engineers, AI-superpowered, embedded in your workflow | Offshore juniors you've never met |
| Speed | AI-superpowered — what takes a traditional team 4 weeks takes ours 4 days | Ramp-up, standups, timezone delays, rework — then maybe something ships |
| Visibility | Live view of what's done, what's in progress, and what's blocked — updated automatically, not when someone remembers to log it | You find out something's stalled when the deadline passes |
| Cost predictability | Scoped upfront, priced by story point, no surprises | Hourly estimates drift. Agency change orders. Offshore rework. Budgets blow. |
| Skin in the game | We ship or we don't get paid | They bill regardless |
