Our process

From first call to production.

Seven deliberate stages. No black box. You see the plan, the progress, and the product — every week.

~6–16 weeks · discovery → production

01

Discover

We start by listening.

A short, deep dive into the problem you're solving, who you're solving it for, and where the pain actually lives. No generic questionnaires.

  • Kickoff workshop
  • Goals & KPIs
  • Risk map
02

Define

You see the scope and architecture before we write product code.

We turn the discovery into a tight scope, architecture sketch, and milestone plan. You see the system before we write a line of product code.

  • Scope doc
  • Tech architecture
  • Milestone plan
03

Design

We test ideas in interactive prototypes before anyone builds them.

Interactive prototypes drive the conversation. We ship designs that engineers can build without guessing and users can actually use.

  • UX flows
  • Hi-fi UI
  • Design system
04

Build

Small pull requests, and working software in your hands from the first week.

Short iterations, trunk-based development, preview URLs on every branch. You get working software in your hands the first week.

  • Weekly demos
  • Preview environments
  • Engineering diary
05

Test

Tests run on every commit, and releases wait until they pass.

Unit, integration, and end-to-end tests run on every commit. Performance budgets, accessibility checks, and security linting gate releases.

  • Test pyramid
  • CI gates
  • A11y + perf budgets
06

Ship

Blue/green or canary releases, with rollback one click away.

Blue/green or canary on day one. Feature flags, one-click rollback, and a runbook so your oncall is never caught flat.

  • Zero-downtime deploys
  • Feature flags
  • Runbooks
07

Scale

After launch we watch the metrics and talk to users before adding anything new.

We stay close after launch — watching metrics, closing the loop with users, and tuning for growth instead of shipping features you don't need.

  • Observability
  • Growth reviews
  • On-tap capacity
