No surprises.
That is the whole method.
Five phases, explicit exit criteria, and a client who always knows what happens next week.
Discovery
Weeks 1–2
Two weeks with your stakeholders, your data and your incidents. We leave with a scoped problem statement, a risk register and a costed plan.
- Problem statement
- Risk register
- Costed roadmap
Architecture
Weeks 3–4
Decisions recorded before code exists: boundaries, data contracts, security model, non-functional targets and the migration path.
- Architecture decision records
- Threat model
- SLO targets
Build
Weeks 5–N
Two-week increments, always shippable. Demos with working software, never slides. Scope moves; the release date does not.
- Fortnightly releases
- Live demo environment
- Burn-up transparency
Hardening
Pre-launch
Load, chaos, penetration and accessibility testing against agreed thresholds, plus runbooks and on-call rehearsal before cutover.
- Load & pen test reports
- Runbooks
- Cutover rehearsal
Partnership
Ongoing
Post-launch we measure the outcome we promised, tune it, and transfer ownership to your team on a schedule you set.
- Outcome reporting
- Enablement programme
- Clean handover
Daily
Async written stand-up in your channel
Weekly
Working demo and decision log
Fortnightly
Production release
Quarterly
Outcome and roadmap review
Questions we're always asked.
How quickly can a team start?+
Typically 10–15 working days from signature for a full squad; faster for staff extension.
Who owns the intellectual property?+
You do, unconditionally, from the first commit. Repositories live in your organisation.
What if the scope changes mid-flight?+
It always does. Scope is traded inside a fixed cadence and budget, with impact stated in writing before anything moves.
Do you work with our existing engineers?+
Most engagements are blended. Our teams adopt your rituals, standards and review culture.
How do you price?+
Time and materials for product squads, fixed price for defined outcomes. No hidden change-request economy.
Start with discovery. Decide about everything else afterwards.
Two weeks, a fixed fee, and a plan you own whether or not you continue with us.
