How we work
Our software development process: human-led, AI-accelerated
From a free 30-minute consultation to production launch and 90 days of hypercare — a clear, repeatable process with quality gates on every single change.
Engagement process
Eight steps from first call to long-term support
Our software development process is the same on every project, so you always know what happens next and what you will receive at each stage.
Free 30-minute consultation
A no-obligation call to understand your goals, constraints and timeline — and an honest view on whether we are the right partner.
You get:A clear next step
Discovery & AI/software roadmap
Workshops with your team to map users, workflows, data and integrations, and to find where software and AI create measurable value first.
You get:A prioritised roadmap and scope
Design
Architecture, data model, UX flows and prototypes, reviewed and signed off by you before any build begins.
You get:Approved designs and architecture
Agile build in sprints
Short sprints that end in a live demo. Every change passes automated tests and code review, so progress is visible and quality is verified continuously.
You get:Working software every sprint
QA & security review
End-to-end tests on critical journeys and a review against our security standards — validation, authorization, sessions, secrets and rate limits.
You get:A release candidate you can trust
Production launch
Automated, repeatable deployment with health checks, structured logging and error monitoring in place from the first minute.
You get:Live, monitored software
90-day hypercare
For 90 days after launch we stay close: priority fixes, tuning based on real usage and knowledge transfer to your team.
You get:A stable, well-adopted product
Ongoing support
Maintenance, upgrades, security patches and new features, handled by engineers who all know the same stack — so continuity never depends on one person.
You get:Software that keeps improvingLearn more
AI-assisted development
Human-led. AI-accelerated. Standards-enforced.
AI makes our engineers faster. It never replaces their judgement — and it never lowers the bar.
- 01
Human-led
Engineers own the architecture, the decisions and the result.
- Requirements and design decided by people
- Every change reviewed by an engineer before merge
- 02
AI-accelerated
AI removes the repetitive work so engineers focus on what matters.
- Drafts boilerplate, tests and documentation
- Speeds up refactoring and code exploration
- 03
Standards-enforced
AI output meets exactly the same bar as human-written code.
- Written standards tell the AI how code must be built
- Same lint, type, test and review gates
Quality gates
Every change passes five gates
These checks run on every pull request. If CI fails, the change does not merge — no exceptions, no “temporary” bypasses.
- pass
Gate 1: Lint
Consistent, clean code with no disabled rules.
- pass
Gate 2: Type checking
TypeScript in strict mode, with no ignored errors.
- pass
Gate 3: Automated tests
Unit, API and end-to-end tests on critical journeys.
- pass
Gate 4: Code review
A second engineer reviews every change.
- pass
Gate 5: CI must pass
Lint, typecheck, test and build — or nothing merges.
Communication
You always know where your project stands
Transparency is built into the process, not added as an afterthought.
Sprint demos
Every sprint ends with a demo of working software, so you can give feedback and steer priorities early.
