Approach

How we work with you

Pick the engagement that fits where you are. Every one ends with something you own.

Engagement models

Four ways to start

  • Fixed scope, short

    Architecture Assessment

    A review of your system or your plans for one, ending in a written assessment with clear recommendations.

  • Focused build

    Build Sprint / Proof of Concept

    A short build that proves an idea works on real data before you commit to the full system.

  • Design to production

    End-to-end Delivery

    We design, build, deploy and hand over the whole system.

  • Ongoing retainer

    Fractional Architect

    Senior architecture leadership for your team, without a full-time hire.

Process

Discover, architect, build, run

The same four steps whether we are building a proof of concept or a production platform.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We learn the business problem, the constraints and the systems already in place.

  2. 02

    Architect

    We design the system and write it down: architecture document, release plan, deployment guide.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build in short increments you can see and test, with automated tests and CI from the start.

  4. 04

    Run

    We deploy, monitor and hand over, with runbooks your team can operate from.

What you receive

You own everything at handover

Code, architecture documents, deployment guides and runbooks are yours.

Documents

  • Architecture document with system and deployment diagrams
  • System requirements
  • Release plan
  • Deployment guide and runbooks

Code

  • In your repository, under your ownership
  • Automated tests and CI
  • Docker and CI/CD configuration

Handover

  • A walkthrough of the system with your team
  • Everything your team needs to run and change the system without us

Tell us what you're building.

Start with a conversation about the system you need, the constraints you have and where you are today.
