How We Work

We publish our delivery system in detail so technical buyers can evaluate our process, constraints, and safety controls before a call.

Every engagement has one primary objective: accelerate delivery without surrendering engineering judgment.

The AI-Assisted SDLC

A concrete operating model with explicit human ownership and measurable quality gates.

Interactive SDLC breakdown

Human: Domain workshops, stakeholder interviews

AI: LLM-assisted bounded context mapping, competitive architecture analysis

Gate: ADRs reviewed by senior engineers

01

Discovery

Domain workshops, bounded context mapping, and ADR checkpoints reviewed by senior engineers.

02

Build

AI accelerates boilerplate while humans own architecture decisions and review gates.

03

Assure

Quality gates target ≥90% coverage and ≥75% mutation score before release approval.

04

Ship

SLOs, rollback rehearsals, and launch runbooks are complete before production cutover.

Guardrails: How We Prevent AI Failure

Objections from technical leaders are legitimate. These controls are non-negotiable in our delivery process.

Failure Mode How We Prevent It
Hallucinated code Every AI-generated function requires a human-authored test and reviewer approval.
Security vulnerabilities AI-generated code passes automated SAST and dependency checks before human review.
Architecture drift Pattern library constraints prevent unauthorized architectural patterns from entering the codebase.
Over-reliance on AI PRs above a 70% AI-generated ratio trigger mandatory architecture review.
Prompt injection LLM-facing flows use validation, filtering, and sandboxed execution by default.
