Written weekly update
Shipped, next, risks and decisions — easy to forward to stakeholders.
How we work
A delivery framework you can see into
Clear phases, written decisions, working software every cycle, and security practices built in from the first day of access.
Delivery framework
Five phases, every project
Discover
Goals, users, workflows, data and constraints written down and agreed.
Architect
Data model, services, integrations and failure modes documented.
Build
Weekly increments on staging with demos and code review.
Verify
Automated tests, accessibility, performance and security checks.
Launch & operate
Production rollout, monitoring, handover and support.
Cadence
What a normal week looks like
Staging you can click
Every increment deployed to a staging environment for review.
Scheduled overlap
Calls in agreed overlap hours with the US, UK, Europe or Australia.
Async by default
Questions and answers in your chat and tracker, so nothing waits for a meeting.
Decision log
Architecture and scope decisions recorded with the reasoning behind them.
Early warnings
Risks to scope or timeline raised as soon as we see them, not at the deadline.
AI-assisted engineering
AI speeds us up. Engineers stay accountable.
We use AI coding tools where they genuinely help — and keep senior engineers responsible for every line that ships.
- Where AI helps: scaffolding, refactors, test generation, documentation and code exploration.
- Where engineers decide: architecture, data models, security, payments and anything irreversible.
- Every change reviewed: AI-assisted code goes through the same review and tests as any other code.
- Data stays protected: no client secrets or confidential data in unapproved tools.
- Transparent: ask us which tools are used on your project and we will tell you.
Security & IP
How we protect your code, data and ideas
Practical controls for a small senior team — stated plainly, without certificates we do not hold.
NDAs first
We sign your NDA, or provide ours, before confidential material is shared.
Least-privilege access
Named accounts, minimum permissions and access removed at offboarding.
Secrets management
Credentials kept in environment configuration or secret stores — never in code or chat.
Data handling
Production data used only when necessary; test data and anonymisation preferred.
IP assignment
Code, designs and documentation assigned to you in the agreement.
Secure by default
Security headers, rate limiting, input validation and dependency updates as standard.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you use AI tools to write code?
Yes, for drafting, refactoring, tests and documentation. Every AI-assisted change is reviewed by a senior engineer, tested and held to the same standards as hand-written code. We never paste client secrets or confidential data into tools that are not approved for it.
Are you ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certified?
Not at this stage. We follow security practices drawn from those frameworks — NDAs, least-privilege access, secrets management, encrypted storage and clean offboarding — and will answer your security questionnaire honestly.
How do you report progress?
A written weekly update covering what shipped, what is next, risks and decisions, plus a demo on staging at the end of each cycle.
