How we work

Nothing about progress should be a surprise.

A working environment from sprint one, a demo every fortnight, and a chart showing scope against budget. If something slips you hear it from us first — while there is still time to act.

01

Conversation

We talk about the problem rather than the technology. By the end you will have a rough cost range, a rough timeline and an honest opinion on whether the project is worth doing at all.

45 minutes, free
02

Discovery workshop

Structured sessions with your team to map the process, the constraints and the risks. Output is a written scope, an architecture outline, a costed plan and a risk register — yours to keep whether or not you continue.

2–5 days, paid
03

Design & architecture

Data model, integration map, security model and a clickable prototype. You approve the shape of the system before production code is written.

2–4 weeks
04

Build in sprints

A working environment from sprint one, a demo at the end of every sprint, and a burn-up chart showing scope against budget. Nothing about progress is a surprise.

2-week cycles
05

Test & harden

Automated suites run on every change; before release we add load testing, a security review, cross-device testing and an accessibility audit.

Continuous, then 1–2 weeks
06

Launch & support

Deployment, migration, training and a warranty period. Then a support agreement sized to how critical the system is to your operation.

Ongoing

Working rhythm

What a normal fortnight looks like

Predictability matters more than velocity. This is the cadence every engagement runs on.

Daily

Written standup

Posted before your working day starts, so you are never waiting for a call to know where things are.

Weekly

Working session

A live call to resolve decisions, review designs and unblock anything that needs your input.

Fortnightly

Sprint demo

Working software you can use yourself, plus a burn-up chart of scope against budget.

Monthly

Commercial review

Spend, remaining scope, risks and whether the plan still matches what you need.

Commitments

What we guarantee regardless of the project

You meet the people who build it

The engineers in your kickoff are the engineers who write the code. No handover to an unnamed team after signing.

Written scope before you commit

Discovery produces a document you own — scope, architecture, risks and costs — whether or not you proceed with us.

Full IP, no lock-in

Your code, your repositories, your cloud account, documented well enough that another team could take over tomorrow.

Nine years, 94% retention

Most of our clients are still with us, and most new work comes from their referrals rather than from advertising.

Start with a conversation, not a brief.

Forty-five minutes about the problem. You leave with a rough cost, a rough timeline and an honest opinion — no slide deck involved.
