Five stages.Total visibility.
We scale the process to the work: a business website does not need the same planning as a multi-system AI platform. Deliverables, review points, timelines and support are agreed through the SOW.
How we work
Five stages.
No black box.
Eight to sixteen weeks from bottleneck to deployed system, with a working demo at the end of every sprint.
Every engagement moves through the same sequence regardless of which discipline it starts in. You always know which stage you are in, what comes out of it, and what it takes off the table.
- 01
Discover
1 weekA scoping call that costs nothing. We learn the business, locate the actual bottleneck, and establish the first build worth committing to.
Output — Written scope, honest recommendation
You do not build the wrong thing
- 02
Design
1–2 weeksFlows, wireframes, and system architecture — signed off before a line of production code exists.
Output — Architecture doc, interactive prototype
You see it before the build budget is committed
- 03
Build
4–10 weeksSprints with a working demo at the end of each one. You see the product every fortnight, not once at handover.
Output — Deployed staging environment
You can redirect after any demo, not only at the end
- 04
Automate
1–3 weeksWhere it earns its place, we layer in agents and pipelines so what launches is already doing work a person used to do — bookings, follow-ups, triage, the report nobody had time to write.
Output — Live integrations, monitored jobs
Automation only where it pays for itself
- 05
Support
OngoingMonitoring, iteration, vulnerability triage, and a named engineer who holds the codebase. Products that freeze on launch day were never finished.
Output — SLA, monthly iteration cadence
No handover cliff
The exchange
Discover
You bring
An hour of your time and access to whoever actually does the work.
We deliver
A recommended approach and written scope, including deliverables, dependencies and proposed SOW terms.
Decision point
You decide whether to continue. No cost either way.
Design
You bring
Feedback on flows within a few days of receiving them.
We deliver
System architecture, data model, and an interactive prototype of anything a user touches.
Decision point
Approval of the agreed design and a clear process for assessing change requests.
Build
You bring
Feedback at the review milestones agreed for your project.
We deliver
Working deliverables and demonstrations at the checkpoints documented in the SOW.
Decision point
Acceptance against the criteria agreed in stage two, not against a vibe.
Automate
You bring
Credentials and a decision on what the system is allowed to do unsupervised.
We deliver
Integrations, scheduled jobs, monitoring, and an escalation path for when something fails at 2am.
Decision point
Testing and observation requirements are agreed before production use.
Support
You bring
Whatever cadence you want. Some clients want monthly, some want us on call.
We deliver
A named engineer who knows the codebase, an SLA, and a running list of what we would improve next.
Decision point
Support length, termination and handover responsibilities follow the agreed terms.
Asked before
The seven questions everyone has
Is our project the right size for you?
Almost certainly, at either end. The agent runtime, retrieval layer, voice stack and integration infrastructure already exist and run in production — what you are paying for is the integration onto your use cases, not a platform built from scratch. That is what keeps a single defined use case commissionable rather than priced out of reach, and what keeps a multi-system rollout off a blank repository.
Can you meet enterprise security and procurement requirements?
Yes, where you have the appetite to specify them with us. SSO, role hierarchies, audit trails, data residency, penetration testing and security review are all in scope, and we would rather map them in Discover than discover them in month four. Enterprise work fails on unstated constraints far more often than on technical ceilings.
We are raising and need something to show. Can you help?
That is a routine starting point. A focused MVP engagement can begin with this — the first working version you can put in front of a customer or an investor, deployed and real rather than clickable. It is built on the stack the full product would use, so what you pitch with is what you keep.
What if we want to stop halfway?
You can, at any stage boundary. You keep everything built to that point, including the repository and the documentation. We would rather you stopped at stage two than spent another eight weeks on something you had lost confidence in.
What if the estimate turns out to be wrong?
We tell you the week we find out, not the week before delivery. Estimates move — the thing that damages a project is finding out late, not the movement itself.
Who owns the code?
Ownership, repository access, third-party services and handover are explicitly agreed in the SOW.
Do you work with our existing team?
Yes. We can coordinate with your own developers and stakeholders or take responsibility for a defined workstream, based on the SOW.
