01
Scope
We write down what exists, what is breaking and what success looks like. You get a scope document with deliverables, sequence, assumptions and the things we have explicitly left out — before any code is written.
02
Build
Small increments in a repository you own from day one, with an environment you can open at any point. Progress is reviewed against the scope document, not against a demo.
03
Test
Automated tests run on every change. Security work gets its own pass — we read the build the way someone attacking it would, and we tell you what we found even when it is our own code.
04
Deploy
Releases come out of a pipeline, not off a laptop. Infrastructure is described in code so it can be rebuilt from scratch. The rollback path is agreed before the first release, not during the first outage.
05
Operate or hand over
Monitoring, alerts and a restore drill you watch. Then a choice: keep us on retainer for patching and on-call, or take a documented handover and run it in-house. Both are normal endings.
