Engagement structure
How a Project Runs
Phases exist so both sides know what is being decided and when. Each one ends with something reviewable — a document, an architecture, or working software.
1
Discovery and Definition
Map the current operation, identify the people and records involved, and agree on the problem being solved before any interface or schema is designed.
2
Product and Architecture Design
Define the data model, security boundaries, integration strategy, interface system, and the sequence in which capabilities will be delivered.
3
Incremental Engineering
Build in reviewable stages so the operation can see working software early and adjust priorities while changes are still inexpensive.
4
Integration and Verification
Connect approved external services, then verify the states that decide whether software is trustworthy in production: empty, partial, expired, rate-limited, and failed.
5
Release and Improvement
Move to production with staged releases and documented rollback, then prioritize refinements from real operational feedback.
Scope, cost, and timeline are agreed per engagement after discovery. We do not publish fixed project prices, because a number quoted before the workflow is understood is a guess that one side will pay for.
