Our process
Four stages. Each ends in an artifact.
The way we deliver is the actual product an agency sells. Ours is designed so trust is earned in writing at every stage (a scope, a design document, working software, and a handover package) not asserted on a slide.
The stages
What happens, in what order, with what deliverable
Each stage is scoped to end in a thing you can read, run, or hold in your hand, not a status update.
Stage 01
Artifact
Scoping call
→ Written scope & estimate
Thirty minutes on what you are building and why. You leave with a written scope, an honest estimate, and our view on whether AI is even the right tool.
Stage 02
Artifact
Architecture sprint
→ System design document
We design the system before we bill for building it: data flows, model choices, failure modes, and the success measure we will be judged against.
Stage 03
Artifact
Build in weekly demos
→ Working software, week one
Short cycles, working software every week, and decisions made in the open. You see progress in the product, not in status reports.
Stage 04
Artifact
Launch & run
→ Monitoring, evals & handover
We ship it, instrument it, and either run it with you or hand it over with documentation your team can actually operate from.
How we work
Four commitments, every engagement
Artifacts, not adjectives
Every stage ends in a written thing: scope, design doc, working demo, handover package. “On track” is a claim; a checked-in artifact is evidence.
One team, senior only
You work directly with the engineers writing the code. No account manager layer, no juniors learning on your invoice, no forwarded emails.
Weekly demos, unedited
Every week: a demo of working software with what shipped, what didn’t, and what changed, in a repo you have access to, not a slide deck.
You own everything on payment
Code, prompts, infrastructure configuration, documentation. We build on your accounts wherever possible, so there is no hostage risk on day one or day 400.
What we don’t do
Three habits we structurally rule out
Anti-patterns beat aspirations. It is easier to trust a team that has publicly banned the failure modes than one that promises to avoid them.
Estimating from a conversation
It produces optimism, not numbers. We estimate from an architecture, which is why architecture is a paid deliverable, not a sales activity.
“On track” status reports
A status update is not progress. A merged pull request and a working demo are progress. We prefer the second, and we schedule it weekly.
Silent change orders
Scope changes are priced when they arise, in writing, or they don’t happen. No end-of-project surprises: the number on your invoice is the number you approved.
Next step
Bring a real problem to a scoping call.
Thirty minutes ends in a written scope, an honest estimate, and our view on whether AI is even the right tool.
