NextEleven studio Discuss a scope

Scoped contract work · one accountable engineer

A small studio for bounded technical delivery.

NextEleven is an owner-operated DFW software studio led by Sean McDonnell. It works with organizations that need a difficult failure investigated, a backend or integration implemented, a retrieval workflow made usable, an operational system built, or a modern web presence delivered on a foundation that can expand over time. Clients work directly with the owner responsible for scope, implementation, verification, and handoff.

Free pings. Private automation.

AK47 Founding Freeze is experimental, named-license software for selected Kalshi Bitcoin event-contract workflows. It runs on infrastructure and accounts controlled by the licensed owner, begins stopped and in non-ordering test mode, and includes a documented handoff. It is not financial advice, a managed account, custody, or a promise of results.

Limited personal-use release · availability confirmed in writing

AK47 Founding Freeze

The free public Telegram posts remain available. A completed purchase can include private automation that runs while the owner’s server, credentials, network, exchange access, and configured services remain available. Exact capabilities, price, license, and support are stated in the written offer.

  • Current price confirmed in writing
  • Personal-use license terms control
Sales boundary

Code and information—not an outcome

No checkout, no wallet assumptions, and no request for credentials. Prospective buyers review the costs, requirements, risk, license, support, and limitations first. Sean then determines fit and sends a written offer.

  • No financial advice or managed account
  • No profit, win-rate, activity, or uptime promise

Specific problems with a finish line

The best engagement has an owner, a current failure or requirement, access to the relevant evidence, and a concrete definition of done.

Troubleshooting

Reproduce and isolate a difficult failure

Logs, API behavior, cross-platform failures, CI, regressions, environment differences, and a written root-cause record.

Implementation

Build a bounded backend or workflow

Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/Next.js, REST integrations, PostgreSQL, Redis, operator interfaces, and explicit human-review paths.

Retrieval & applied AI

Make source-grounded workflows usable

Ingestion, hybrid retrieval, reranking, citations, tool calling, evaluation cases, escalation, and honest failure behavior.

Handoff

Finish the unglamorous closing work

Automated checks, runbooks, limitations, architecture notes, demonstrations, and a next-owner handoff another person can follow.

Inspect the work before trusting the pitch

Public repositories support the engineering claims. Private-client contract work is described through architecture, verified checks, and anonymized workflow details—not client names or invented outcomes.

Private-client delivery · confidential

Multi-location dealership workflow

Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL/pgvector, Redis, Next.js, search, inventory, orders, invoices, dashboards, and human-reviewed external actions.

  • Automated backend and API verification
  • Anonymized workflow brief available publicly
Public engineering proof

Rust developer tooling

Harness is a proprietary public proof of concept with user-selected provider/model routing, compatible custom endpoints, sandboxed tools, MCP, sessions, parallel workers, security notes, and local interfaces.

  • Documented automated tests
  • Cross-platform continuous integration
Client web-presence delivery

JP Transmission

NextEleven designed and implemented JP Transmission’s bilingual web presence with distinct buyer and seller journeys, responsive layouts, a configured inquiry path, and browser-based Ask JP guidance using approved site information. Inventory, ecommerce, and checkout remain separately scoped future capabilities.

  • English and Spanish visitor experience
  • Future commerce is scoped separately

From ambiguity to an inspectable handoff

The schedule follows the verified scope, dependencies, and acceptance conditions.

  1. 01

    Establish fit

    Clarify the owner, present failure or requirement, constraints, available evidence, and whether Sean is the right person to help.

  2. 02

    Write the boundary

    Agree on deliverables, exclusions, verification, access, communication, cost, and the concrete condition that ends the engagement.

  3. 03

    Deliver narrow increments

    Show working evidence early, state blocked assumptions, and keep unrelated feature ideas out of the active scope.

  4. 04

    Verify and hand off

    Provide the agreed checks, source or artifacts, documentation, known limitations, and a clear record of what remains.

What NextEleven does not pretend to be

Start with the problem, not a sales call

Email a short description of what is failing or what must exist, who owns it, and what a useful result would look like. If the fit is wrong, Sean will say so plainly.
