01 Direct answer

What is dedicated teams & staff augmentation?

Add accountable engineering capacity without losing technical standards, visibility, or delivery context. Icarus treats the work as a controlled change to a business system, not an isolated technical assignment. The engagement connects the decision, architecture, delivery evidence, operating responsibility, and knowledge transfer required for the result to endure.
