Six phases, from watching the work to running the system.
Every engagement runs the same spine. Duration varies; the sequence does not. You can stop after any phase and keep everything produced in it.
Process trace
Two weeks inside the work: every step, exception and handoff, timed and costed. The output is a map — automate, keep human, delete.
Architecture & evaluation design
System design, tool contracts and the evaluation set built from your historical cases. The release bar is agreed before code is written.
Vertical slice build
One complete workflow at a time, in production, used by real people. Weekly demo, fortnightly release.
Evaluation & hardening
Adversarial testing, confidence calibration, escalation tuning and load behaviour under real volume.
Deployment
Infrastructure as code, progressive rollout, rehearsed rollback and cost attribution per feature and tenant.
Operate & improve
On-call, drift monitoring and a monthly cycle that feeds production traces back into the evaluation set.
