meLink Agency
Expert software and business developers — amplified. Up to 15× what the hours alone would produce.
The value
Same work. Same illustrative rate. The difference is leverage — you bill for expert hours, not for every hour of conventional throughput behind them.

What each conventional-equivalent hour really costs you
Traditional

R167
per hour of equivalent output
R200 000 billed ÷ 1 200 hrs of conventional-equivalent production ≈ R167 / hr
Each block ≈ one unit of conventional throughput
Illustrative only at R2 500/hr full rate (you own everything). Shared models: 30% off for a 30% share, or pay 20% / keep 20% when you bring the idea and contact. Actual leverage depends on the nature of the work. meLink does not guarantee a fixed multiple of conventional hours. Adjust the numbers →
The problem
Hiring is slow. Onboarding eats months. Your best people already carry too much. Meanwhile the backlog grows and priority work sits waiting for capacity that never quite arrives.
You don't need another hire to protect. You need expert capacity you can burn — without the guilt. We prefer you burn us out.
Cheap junior labour, body-shopping, permanent meeting embedment, large conventional delivery teams, fixed feature factories, or unlimited work for a fixed price.
The difference
You buy expert time from software and business developers who already know how to ship. Behind those hours is an AI-native delivery model built to multiply what that time can produce.
Traditional model
meLink model
Expert hours billed. Potentially fifteen times the conventional-equivalent production behind them. Actual leverage varies by the nature of the work — this is not a fixed delivery guarantee.
The model
Ongoing capacity when you need a standing pipeline — or a focused burst when the work is finite. Same experts. Same amplification. You choose the engagement.
Nobody pays for our lunch. You pay for expert work — not idle overhead, not seat warmers, not organisation chart theatre.
Capacity without headcount
Onboarding someone new takes months and then you worry about burning them out. meLink Agency gives you expert capacity you can push hard — retainer or once-off — without adding permanent headcount.
How you pay
Engagement is retainer or once-off. Ownership is a separate choice — keep it all, share some upside, or bring the idea and the contact when cash is tight.
Model 1
Pay 100%
Full commercial rate. You keep 100% of the IP, product, and upside. Clean ownership — no shared stake on our side.
Model 2
Pay 30% less · we take 30%
We discount the bill by 30%. In return we hold a 30% share in what we build together — aligned on the outcome, not just the hours.
Model 3
Pay 20% · you keep 20%
You bring the idea and the contact — not the cash. You pay only 20% of the bill and keep 20%. We carry 80% of the stake and the build risk.
What you get
Expert experience from expert software and business developers. AI amplification inside controlled environments. Priority jobs that can run 24/7.
Senior judgement from software and business developers who have shipped.
Years of delivery and AI-native practice — not junior theatre.
Up to fifteen times conventional output against the hours you buy.
Priority jobs can run around the clock when the work can't wait.
Retainer or once-off. Own it all, share 30%, or bring idea + contact at 20%.
Open-source models on closed servers — environments we can shred after.

Output
Up to ~15× production per expert hour
AI does not replace the expert. It gives the expert more hands.
Data
We run open-source models on closed servers that we control. When the work is done, those environments can be shredded — not left lingering in someone else's cloud.
Backlog
Every company has a list of high-value work that never quite makes it to the top of the queue — because protecting your people from burnout feels more urgent than shipping the next thing.
You decide what matters. We apply expert judgement and AI-amplified execution — including priority jobs overnight if needed. The backlog starts moving.
Why meLink is different
Traditional agencies sell people and process. meLink Agency sells expert capacity from software and business developers — amplified, shreddable, and available when priority work can't wait.
