No discovery decks. No status spreadsheets. No "we'll need another week to scope." A working system in production by the end of phase three, then a measured cadence of experiments in phase four.
We spend a focused week inside your codebase, your data, and your team. We come out with one document a developer can build from on Monday — not a sixty-slide deck with a thinking-faces emoji on every page.
System map, service boundaries, hotspots, ownership gaps.
Every entry point traced to its persistence layer, with cost annotations.
Honest dollar & calendar bounds for the build. Including ours.
Stack chosen for the next two years, not the next demo. Typed contracts between every layer. The AI surface is designed in — not bolted on after launch by a different team using a different prompt template.
Schema, indexes, RLS, public & internal contracts.
Model routing, eval surface, fallback ladder, cost ceiling.
Metrics, traces, logs, alerts, dashboards — before the build, not after.
A working preview by week 2, a working production system by week 3, a measured release cadence after that. Every PR ships behind a preview URL and a test suite. The demo is always the production system.
Feature-flagged, observed, rolled forward or back without a meeting.
Every AI surface ships with a held-out eval set that's checked in CI.
Friday Loom + Monday async + on-demand call. No status meetings.
We don't disappear at launch. SLOs become contracts, on-call becomes a rotation, and a roadmap of measured experiments runs until the team is ready to take the wheel. Handoff is built into phase 02 — not improvised at the end.
Paid, written runbooks, automatic escalation. Customers never page the founder.
Stat-sig calling, no vanity metrics, results go straight into the changelog.
The decision is yours every quarter. The system runs the same either way.
Spec.md — one document a developer can build from on Monday.
Stack, contracts, cost envelope. Boring choices on purpose.
Daily deploys behind flags. Weekly review on Friday.
SLOs, on-call, experiments. Handoff or stay — your call.
Tell us the rough shape. Inside 48 hours we'll come back with a one-page plan, a number, and a date.
