How we deliver

Solid engineering, end to end.

Eight phases. Standards from requirements to operations. Every deliverable in writing. From the first call all the way to live operations - no surprises, no fog, no late finger-pointing.

  • Working standards on every project
  • Every deliverable in writing
  • Run what we build

What 'solid' means here

Solid engineering is not heroic effort. It is a process that makes the right thing the easy thing.

We listen first. Define the contract before we build, design before we code, prove the riskiest piece before we commit the budget. Ship under review gates. Keep what we ship healthy in production.

The working standards we follow span requirements, architecture, testing, application security and operations. They are not bureaucracy - they are how we make sure the auditor, the team, and the next maintainer all read the same story.

The eight phases

The journey, in three acts.

Pre-flight, build, run. Eight phases - each with a defined deliverable, in writing - grouped by what they do for you.

Act 1

Pre-flight

Listen. Scope. Decide. Before any code is written.

01

First call

Thirty minutes, free, no strings attached. We listen, summarise, and share early hypotheses. You decide whether it goes further.

02

Proposal

Clear scope, realistic estimate, defined risks, acceptance criteria - in writing. We identify build dependencies and make-or-buy options before any money flows.

Act 2

Build

Define, design, de-risk, deliver - all under working standards.

03

Requirement gathering

IREB CPRE

Workshops, story mapping, functional and non-functional requirements - with use cases, acceptance criteria, and traceability all the way into the tests.

04

Solution architecture

TOGAF ADM

Business, data, application and technology architectures aligned. Architecture decisions captured as ADRs, capabilities mapped, value made measurable.

05

Proof of concept

Not everything has to be built before we know it stands up. We build the smallest piece that proves or falsifies the riskiest assumption. You see a working result before the main budget is committed.

06

Build with AI teammates

Weekly demos instead of monthly status reports. Senior engineers work hand in hand with AI tools (Claude, Copilot, Cursor) - always under our review gates. Speed without losing care.

Act 3

Run

Operate, evolve, keep it healthy - long after go-live.

07

Operations with AI assistance

We run systems in production with AIOps for anomaly detection, triage and routine tasks. Data protection stays central: no customer data in public LLMs without explicit consent. On-prem LLMs or dedicated EU endpoints when required.

08

Continuous evolution & QA

ISTQB

Test pyramid, regression suite in CI, separated environments, test data management with privacy in mind. Lighthouse, accessibility and security smoke tests on every release. A fixed refactor allowance per sprint keeps code quality high.

Software QA & Testing with ISTQB

The standards we work to

From requirements to operations - standards on every layer.

Working standards make sure requirements, architecture, tests, application security and operations all mean the same thing - to engineers, auditors, and the team that takes over after us. We don't certify every project, but these are how we operate by default.

01

IREB

Requirements

Anchored in Phase 03

Requirements that hold up through reviews, tests, and architecture.

02

TOGAF

Architecture

Anchored in Phase 04

Architecture that aligns business and IT strategy.

03

ISTQB

Testing

Anchored in Phase 08

Testing that is traceable, automatable, and audit-ready.

04

OWASP / NIST

Application security

Throughout

OWASP as the day-to-day baseline for code, APIs and web exposure - NIST CSF and SP 800 series as the broader controls framework when an audit asks for it.

05

SoC 2 / ISO 27001

Operations

By default

Our default operational posture - access management, change control, logging, incident response, vendor risk. We don't certify every project, but these controls are how we run.
