How We Work

Every engagement follows the same five steps, whether it’s a one-week integration fix or a multi-month platform build.

1

Discovery

We audit your current stack, identify pain points, and agree on priorities. This usually takes one 30-minute call plus a short async review of your systems.

2

Architecture & Scope

We draft the data contract, API surface, and integration map. Everything is captured in a Statement of Work attached to your master Technology Services Agreement — clear deliverables, timeline, and pricing before any code is written.

3

Implementation

Backend-first: schema, APIs, and worker processes ship before any frontend. Delivery is Git-tracked with documented migrations, so you always know exactly what changed and why.

4

Launch & Validation

We deploy, run integration tests, and verify that webhooks, data flows, and automations work end-to-end. You sign off on a working system, not a demo.

5

Steady-State Support

Ongoing retainer covers monitoring, incident response, vendor coordination, and iterative improvements. We document everything in Git so nothing lives only in someone's head.

Why backend-first matters

We design the backend and data contract first, then UIs and automations sit on top. This prevents integrations and funnels from breaking every time a vendor changes an API.

We document schema, APIs, and workflows in Git as part of delivery — not as a follow-up task someone never gets to. When you need to onboard a new developer or answer a security questionnaire, the answers are already written down.

Contracts & expectations

Everything runs through a master Technology Services Agreement (TSA) with per-engagement Statements of Work (SOWs). The TSA defines baseline terms — IP ownership, confidentiality, compliance posture — so each SOW only needs to describe scope, timeline, and pricing.
