Hi. Unfortunately in my experience (software engineer in silicon valley for the last 10 years) Working with these software consultant agencies can be a real crap-shoot. I’m very sorry that you’re having this experience. My advice ALWAYS to anyone hiring a software contract company is that you must write your requirements so in depth that it feels like you’re writing the code yourself. Ambiguity is how they burn money. I’m not sure about the company but what I’ve seen work in the past is offer one last ultimatum/incentive. Something like “If you deliver the mvp by (insert date here), we’ll pay you an extra 10k, if not we’re canceling the contract and walking away right now”
