From intent to launch
Eight steps, in order. Each one produces something you can read or software you can use before the next one starts.
- 1
Scoping conversation
Produces: A yes or a noYou describe the organization, the people it serves, and the problem. We ask what happens today and what breaks. We tell you whether we're the right shop.
- 2
Intent document
Produces: One or two pagesA short written statement of what the software is for, who uses it, and what counts as success. You approve it before anything else starts.
- 3
Specification
Produces: The document the build followsThe detailed version: screens, data, rules, permissions, integrations, edge cases. This is what we build against and what we test against.
- 4
Design
Produces: Screens and interactionsInterface and interaction design against the specification. For simpler projects this merges into the specification. For anything with a real user experience it stands on its own.
- 5
Build
Produces: Working softwareAgents write the code against the specification. Automated gates run continuously: tests, type checking, security scanning, performance budgets. Independent review passes examine the work against the same specification, with a separate verification pass before anything reaches you.
- 6
Your review
Produces: A list of what's wrongYou use working software and tell us where it's wrong. We treat every gap as either a bug or a specification error, and we fix the specification when that's the actual problem.
- 7
Launch
Produces: A live systemDeployment, DNS, certificates, monitoring, analytics, store submission where it applies. We publish, watch, and fix what surfaces.
- 8
Care
Produces: The next roundHosting, updates, and the next round of work.
Tell us what you need.
Send a paragraph about your organization and the problem in front of you. We'll tell you whether we're the right shop, what we'd build, and what it costs. If we're not the right shop, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
