Engineering process

Four phases, the same for every project

Scope, Build, Harden, Operate. Not because it's a nice diagram, but because skipping one of these is how projects go wrong.

1

Scope

We turn ambiguity into a written plan before any code gets written.

3-10 days

  • A written scope document
  • A fixed-price or time-and-materials estimate
  • An explicit list of what's out of scope
2

Build

Weekly working demos against a shared backlog, not a black box until launch.

Varies by scope, reviewed weekly

  • A working demo every week
  • A shared, visible backlog
  • Direct access to the engineer writing the code
3

Harden

Load testing, security review and edge cases get handled before launch, not after your first incident.

1-3 weeks depending on scope

  • A load test report
  • A security review checklist
  • A documented rollback plan
4

Operate

Support and iteration after launch, with an agreed response time, not an open-ended promise.

Ongoing, month-to-month

  • A monitoring dashboard
  • An agreed incident response time
  • Monthly iteration based on real usage

Communication

How you actually hear from us

A weekly call

Same time every week. You see a working demo, not a status slide.

A shared channel

Async questions get answered same-day, not routed through a ticket system.

A visible backlog

You can see what's in progress and what's next without asking.

Tell us what you're building. The first call is scoping, not a sales pitch.
