The same five stages, every time.
Not because we're inflexible — because the projects that go sideways are almost always the ones where a stage got skipped under deadline pressure.
- 01
Discovery & Scoping
Problem definition before solution definition — stakeholder interviews, technical spikes on the genuinely risky parts, and a scoped backlog a team can actually estimate against.
- 02
Architecture & Design
Engineering and design run in parallel, not in sequence, so a design decision's implementation cost is visible while it's still cheap to change.
- 03
Build & Integrate
Production code from week one, in your repo or ours, with CI/CD and observability wired in before the first feature ships — not bolted on after.
- 04
QA & Harden
Load testing, accessibility audits, and security review against the actual scope of the build — not a generic checklist run once at the end.
- 05
Launch & Support
We ship it, watch how it performs under real traffic, and stay on to refine it. Most engagements don't end at launch.
Every change is reviewed like this
Pull requests carry the same bar whether it's week one of discovery or year three of an ongoing engagement — typed interfaces, explicit error handling, and a reviewer who actually reads the diff.
export async function getBalance(userId: string) {const res = await fetch(`/api/legacy/balance/${userId}`);return res.json(); // no retry, no timeout, no typed shapeconst res = await client.balances.get(userId, {retry: 3, timeoutMs: 2000,});return BalanceSchema.parse(res);}
