How we ship

What has to be true before we call it shipped

The same four stages whether it is a six week build or a four year retainer. Here is what happens in each one, and which part of the stack it touches.

How the work runs

Four stages, and what each one touches

Each stage touches a different part of the stack.

Across every stage

  • AI workflows
  • Prompt engineering
  • Evaluations

Where we stop

Four things we will not do

  • Quote a large engagement without paid discovery first. Estimating a codebase we have not read is guessing with your money.
  • Take work we cannot also support afterwards. Shipping something nobody will be there for is how systems get fragile in the first place.
  • Let anything important live in one person’s head. A system nobody can explain a year later is a liability, however well it runs today.
  • Agree to a date we do not believe in. Saying yes to an impossible deadline is choosing to fail later, more expensively.
