A predictable rhythm — every engagement, every time.
Five stages, weekly demos, written status every Friday. You always know where the work is.
- 1
Discover
Stakeholder interviews, architecture review, and a written risk register. Most engagements start with a 1–2 week discovery, with a clear go/no-go at the end.
- 2
Design
Component diagrams, ADRs, design tokens, and API contracts. Engineering and design pair from day one — no throw-it-over-the-wall handoff.
- 3
Build
Pair-reviewed delivery, weekly demos, CI/CD from day one. Every PR has a test, every test runs against real infrastructure.
- 4
Launch
Migration plan, observability dashboards, runbooks, and on-call training. We launch behind shadow traffic or canary by default.
- 5
Support
Optional managed-services or transition-to-your-team mode. Either way we leave the codebase healthier than we found it.
What sits behind the rhythm
Five non-negotiables that keep delivery honest, regardless of stack or industry.
Outcome-led
Every engagement starts with what should be true at the end. Story points come second.
Pair-reviewed
Every PR is reviewed by a peer before merge. Risk taxonomy is shared, not solo-carried.
Tests-first at the database
We run integration tests against a real database in CI. Mocks only above the database boundary.
Observable on day one
Logs, traces, and metrics are wired before features. We deploy with the same observability we'd want at 3am.
Honest forecasts
Weekly written status. We surface what's hard before it becomes a problem.
A team you can name
Every engagement gets a named PM, designer, engineers, and QA — not a faceless pool.
