01Process

A clear path from
idea to launch.

How a project actually flows when you hire us. Read it end to end it is the same plan we walk every client through in the first call.

01Our philosophy

No mystery. No theatre. No surprise invoices.

Most software projects fail in the same boring ways scope drifts, deadlines slip, and the people who agreed to the budget are not the ones writing the code. Our process is built to make those failure modes impossible.

Every fortnight, you see working software. Every Friday, you get a written recap. Every quarter, you can stop or scale. That is the whole machine.

02A typical engagement

From first call to the day you forget we are not in-house.

  1. Week 0
    2 days

    Intro call & fit check

    A 30-minute call, a follow-up note within two days. We will tell you honestly if we are not the right team and who is.

  2. Week 1
    5 days

    Shaping week

    A paid week of structured workshops. By Friday you have a written plan, a fixed price (or rate), and a recommended team.

  3. Week 2
    2 weeks

    Foundations

    Architecture, design system, the first real screens. Demo at the end of week 2 working software you can click.

  4. Week 4–N
    Fortnights

    Build cycles

    Two-week cycles. Plan Monday, demo Friday-of-week-two, written recap, replan. Repeat until launch.

  5. Launch
    2 weeks

    Staged rollout

    Internal team first, then a controlled customer group, then everyone. Documentation, recorded walkthroughs, on-call rota.

  6. Post-launch
    Ongoing

    Steady state

    You either own it, hand to your in-house team, or keep us on a monthly engagement. Your call no auto-renew.

03The weekly rhythm

What a normal week with us looks like.

Mon
Plan

Two-week priorities locked. You see the list before it ships.

Tue
Build

Engineers ship code, designers ship screens. Quiet day.

Wed
Review

PRs reviewed, designs critiqued. A pulse-check Loom if there is anything to flag.

Thu
Build

Polish, edge cases, QA. The day stuff gets actually finished.

Fri
Demo

One scheduled call. Live software, screen-shared. Written recap by end of day.

04What you get

Every phase leaves a paper trail.

Shaping document

The written plan from week one scope, budget, sequencing, risks. Yours to keep.

Design files

Component library, screens, motion specs. In your design tool, in your account.

Source code

A Git repo on day one, in your organisation. We commit to it; we do not own it.

Architecture notes

Diagrams, data models, integration maps. The kind of document a new engineer can read.

Recorded walkthroughs

Looms of every system, narrated. So you do not need a meeting to know how anything works.

Runbooks

What to do when something breaks. Step by step, in plain language.

05How we communicate

Async by default. Sync when it matters.

A shared Slack or Teams channel between your stakeholders and our team. Loom recordings instead of status meetings. A weekly written recap in your inbox. One scheduled call a week the demo.

We do not ping you on weekends. We do not expect you to ping us. The work happens in working hours, predictably and quietly.

06What can go wrong

Honest about where projects break and how we prevent it.

/01

Scope creep

New priorities go into the next two-week cycle. Something else moves down. We never silently expand scope.

/02

Stakeholder churn

Every project has a single decision-maker on your side. If they leave, we pause one cycle to re-align.

/03

Integration surprises

We test the riskiest third-party integration in week one not week ten. The hard problems go first.

/04

Team unavailability

No project depends on one engineer. Every codebase has at least two people who know it well on our side.
