Build-Operate-Transfer.

The flagship captive path. We build a US-grade org in Chennai, operate it to steady state, then transfer the entity, people, and IP to you on your trigger. The one fear it raises — "can this partner actually run a US-grade org?" — we've already answered.

The three phases

Build. Operate. Transfer.

A captive you own, without carrying the risk of standing it up yourself. We hold the build and run risk until the org is proven — then it becomes yours.

Phase 1
Build

Stand up the org

Entity groundwork, hiring, facilities, security, and tooling. We build a real, compliant healthcare engineering organization — not a shell.

Phase 2
Operate

Run it to steady state

We manage delivery, retention, and compliance until the org performs predictably and the team is stable enough to transfer.

Phase 3
Transfer

Hand you the keys

On your trigger, the entity, people, IP, and operations move to you — with retention carried through the handover.

Direct build vs BOT vs Pod

Structure & optionality

You set the transfer trigger.

Transfer happens on conditions you agree up front — a headcount, a tenure, a performance bar — not on our schedule. Until then, you have the optionality to keep operating as a managed arrangement.

Two entity paths are available depending on your tax, IP, and timeline preferences. We'll walk you through both at scoping.

Not legal advice

Entity and legal structuring options are described for planning only and are not legal or tax advice. We work alongside your counsel to finalize structure.

The make-or-break

Retention has to survive the transfer. Ours does.

A captive is only worth owning if the team is still there the day after handover. Our retention culture — the same one that built and kept the DocuFindr team — transfers with the org, so you inherit continuity, not a rebuild.

FAQ

The captive question, answered.

Can you really run a US-grade org before we own it?
Yes — and DocuFindr is the evidence. We conceived, built, secured, and commercialized a HIPAA-grade US healthcare product from Chennai, with paying US clients. BOT applies that same capability to your captive.
When does transfer happen?
On a trigger you set at the outset — typically a combination of headcount, tenure, and performance. Until then you retain the optionality to keep operating as a managed arrangement.
What about entity and tax structure?
Two structuring paths are available, chosen with your counsel. We describe the trade-offs for planning; final structure is set with your legal and tax advisors. Nothing here is legal advice.
How does DocuFindr relate to our captive?
It does not. DocuFindr is a product 10decoders built, presented purely as a capability case study. There is no shared ownership of your GCC, and it stays an independent company.

Own it when you're ready.

We'll produce an indicative BOT term sheet — build, operate, and transfer economics with your trigger built in — after one scoping conversation.
