We build the software that's eating your margins — for a fixed price, in weeks.

Perimeter Software is an Austin software company, founded in 1994, that builds AI and web projects on a fixed-bid basis — and stands up the AI scoring and ranking infrastructure that tells a sales team which prospects are actually worth the call.

Two ways we move your numbers

Pick your bottleneck.

Service One

AI & Web Development

Web applications, integrations, agentic workflows, and process automation — quoted as fixed-bid projects, not hours. Our mastery of AI tooling is why the same build costs less here and lands in weeks. You see a working demo of your solution before you commit a dollar.

Service Two

Prospect Scoring & Ranking Infrastructure

Your reps are working a list nobody trusts. We stand up AI discovery, enrichment, and scoring over your whole market — every company ranked 0–100, with a written reason — then train your team to run it. A short consulting engagement; the system is yours.

Why Perimeter

Not a 2024-vintage AI agency.

Perimeter Software shipped commercial SaaS before "SaaS" was a word. We're a 30-year software operation that now builds with AI — not a newcomer riding the hype.

Demo before dollar

Before you sign, we build a small working demo of your solution — your branding, your workflow — so you evaluate a finished flow, not a proposal deck.

Fixed bid, not an open meter

A scoped phase, a price, and a date. Hourly billing pays a vendor for being slow; our speed belongs in your budget.

Quality is a discipline, not a vibe

Specs precise enough to be followed literally, automated evaluation of AI output, and guardrails sized to the cost of a mistake. The seven patterns →

AI where it thinks, code where it must not fail

AI makes the judgment calls; deterministic code does the repeatable work. That's why our systems hold up in production instead of demoing well and failing quietly.

Senior team, no bench-warmers

A veteran founder and an international senior engineering team that has shipped together for years — design, front end, back end, QA — with an overnight-turnaround advantage.

Thirty years of production scars

Multi-tenant SaaS, SOC 2 programs, and architecture audited clean in M&A due diligence. We've maintained what we built, which changes how you build.

Common questions

What does Perimeter Software do?

Two things. We build AI and web software projects on a fixed-bid basis for mid-sized businesses, and we stand up AI prospect scoring and ranking infrastructure for companies that sell to small and mid-sized businesses, then train their teams to run it.

How are projects priced?

Fixed bid. We scope a phase, quote a number and a date, and deliver it. Because our AI tooling makes a senior team far more productive, that productivity shows up in the quote rather than in a longer timesheet.

How do you keep AI-built software reliable?

We separate the layers: plain-language playbooks say what should happen, AI handles judgment and exceptions, and deterministic tested code does anything that must not fail. On top of that we apply seven disciplines — specification precision, automated evaluation, multi-agent decomposition, failure-pattern recognition, trust and security design, context architecture, and token-cost economics.

Do we see anything before we pay?

Yes. For development work we build a small working demo of your solution first. For scoring work we score a slice of your real market and walk you through why each company ranked where it did.

Where are you located?

Austin, Texas — 8911 N Capital of Texas Hwy, Suite 4200, in the Westech 4 building on Loop 360. The engineering team spans several time zones, and we work with clients anywhere in the United States.
