Our process

How a project actually goes.

Five stages, no surprises. We've refined the shape over ~40 builds — the timings vary, the order doesn't.

01

Discover

Week 0 · 30 mins free

A free 30-minute call. You describe the shape of the problem. We ask uncomfortable questions. We tell you honestly whether it's tractable, whether we're the right team for it, and roughly what it would cost. Most calls end with either a scoping doc or a sincere "you don't need us".

02

Design

Week 1 · scoping doc

A written scope you can read in one sitting. System diagram, data model, tool choices, costs, rollout plan, fixed price, fixed timeline. We don't start building until you sign it.

03

Build

Weeks 2–N · behind a flag

Production from day one, but invisible until ready. Daily commits in your GitHub. A shared Slack channel. Friday demos. Real data, real telemetry, real rollback. No mid-project surprises.

04

Deploy

Final week · go-live

Gradual rollout, evals running, dashboards live. Runbooks for every alert. A one-hour training session with the team that will live with it. The 30-day support window starts here.

05

Optimise

Monthly · optional

We set goals together, track them in your dashboard, and refine monthly. Either via the 30-day support window, or via a Partner retainer if you want us long-term. Or you take it from here — that's fine too.
