How it works
A process built to de-risk shipping.
Four phases, one working prototype in the first week, and production code every sprint after. Here's exactly what happens, who's involved, and what you receive.
- 01
Week 0
Discovery call
We scope the real problem, not just the feature list. On a single call we map your users, the core value loop, and the technical constraints — then tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
Who's involved: You, plus a senior engineer and a product lead from our side.
What you receive
A written technical approach, a fixed scope, and a fixed estimate — usually within 48 hours of the call.
- 02
Week 1
Architecture & prototype
We design the data model, integrations, and agent behavior, then build a working proof of concept. This is where we de-risk the hardest technical assumption before committing to a full build.
Who's involved: Our engineering team leads; you give feedback on the prototype.
What you receive
A clickable prototype link by the end of week one, plus the architecture document that the build will follow.
- 03
Weeks 2–6
Build & integrate
We build in vertical slices — complete, end-to-end features shipped every sprint, not isolated components. Code is production-grade: tested, documented, and reviewed, with integrations wired in as we go.
Who's involved: Our team builds; you review a working increment every sprint.
What you receive
A staging environment that grows each sprint, sprint demos, and full access to the codebase and docs from day one.
- 04
Week 6+
Launch & iterate
We handle deployment, monitoring, and launch-readiness, then stay on to read the data with you. Post-launch we tune performance, fix what real users surface, and plan the next iteration.
Who's involved: Joint — we operate the launch, you focus on your users.
What you receive
A monitored production launch, an analytics dashboard, and a prioritized backlog for what to build next.
Principles
How we work, in three rules.
Production code, not demos
Everything we ship is tested, documented, and built to scale. You never throw our code away and rebuild.
A prototype in week one
We de-risk the hardest assumption first. You see something working within days, not at the end of the project.
You own everything
Full access to the codebase, docs, and infrastructure from day one. No lock-in, no black boxes.
