Precision Engineering at Enterprise Scale
Levievs helps companies decide, build and improve the software they run on. We are an engineering and consulting firm in Tel Aviv, founded in 2006, working with small and mid-sized businesses and growth-stage teams in Israel and abroad.
Some clients come to us before they spend: they need a technology roadmap, a vendor decision or a clear answer on whether an AI feature is worth building. Others need a product built, a slow platform modernised or security designed into something they sell. The seven services below cover those situations. If you are not sure which one fits, the table further down maps common situations to a first step.
For founders, COOs and CTOs who want an outside view before a large technology commitment. We review architecture, compare build and buy, vet vendors and phase work in 90-day windows. Day rate from $1,200; advisory retainer from $3,000 a month.
New software built to your specification: web products, internal tools, private-system integrations and custom WordPress plugins. Most builds open with a kickoff week and a foundation pass, run in fixed-fee milestones where scope allows, and end in a written handoff.
For platforms that earn money but have grown slow or hard to change. We audit before touching code, cut plugins, fix queries, put the caching in order and migrate only if the audit says so, one URL section at a time.
Smart contracts and decentralised application components for products that coordinate between organisations, built into your systems with off-chain operations and on-chain verification. Every project starts with a fit check, and we recommend a plain database when a ledger would change nothing for users.
Engineering teams get AI coding assistants with rules attached: CODEOWNERS and branch rulesets that enforce review, paths where AI stays off, and edit-rate tracking that shows within a quarter which tools to keep. Internal tooling for PR summaries and legacy code follows.
Security engineering for products that hold sensitive data: SSO and roles, ownership checks, centralised audit logs and incident playbooks designed before launch. For AI platforms, a one-week written audit across six layers shows what procurement would reject and which fix comes first.
For startups and SMBs weighing an AI feature: we pick the use case, check the data is ready and run a pilot of 8-12 weeks that ends in a written decision. Discovery sprint from $8,000; roadmap retainer from $8,000 a month.
Find the row that sounds like you. Each one names where to start, the first piece of work and how long that kind of work usually takes.
| Your situation | Where to start | First step | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| You need a technology roadmap or a build-or-buy decision before you commit budget. | Technology Strategy Consulting | Two-week diagnostic | 2-4 weeks |
| You have an AI feature idea but no proof yet that it will pay back. | AI Product Consulting | Discovery sprint | 2-4 weeks |
| You need a new product, platform, integration or internal tool built. | Custom Web & Software Development | Scoping call and written proposal | 8-16 weeks |
| Your platform is slow, fragile or stuck on an old stack, and it cannot go offline. | Web Platform Modernisation | Performance and code audit | 8-16 weeks, released in stages |
| Your engineers use AI coding assistants, but without shared rules or a way to measure the effect. | AI-Powered Web Development Tools | Review of current AI use and a code review gate | 8-16 weeks |
| You sell a product that needs serious security: authentication, access control, audit logs, encryption. | Cybersecurity Product Development | Threat model and security review | 8-16 weeks |
| You plan smart contracts or need to connect a product to a blockchain. | Blockchain Development | Architecture review | 8-16 weeks |
| You are not sure a blockchain is needed at all. | When to use blockchain (guide) | Read the guide, then a 30-minute call | One call |
| You are choosing between tech vendors and want to check them properly. | Vendor due diligence checklist | Run the twelve checks | 1-2 weeks |
| You are unsure how to buy consulting: day rate, retainer, fractional or project. | SMB consulting models (guide) | Use the decision rule in the guide | One read |
Every engagement starts the same way: two emails, a 30-minute call and a one-page memo. If the memo fits, you get a written proposal with the scope, milestones, owners and what we will not ship.
We price milestones we can scope at a fixed fee and open-ended work as time and materials, and we tell you which one fits before you sign. The smallest project we take is a two-week diagnostic; most engagements run 8-16 weeks.
The people you meet on the first call do the work. We can embed with your team, join stand-ups and commit to your repository. At handoff you get written documentation, architecture decisions and runbooks, and many clients keep a retainer of 2-8 hours a week for the first quarter.
