Built to hand over,not to holdyou hostage.
Web platforms, applications and integrations delivered in fortnightly increments against a live environment. Documentation, infrastructure and source code transfer to you on completion, with no strings.
The system works.Only one personunderstands it.
Every business has at least one of these.
The spreadsheet that runs route planning. The integration nobody dares touch. The internal tool that was a prototype four years ago and is now load-bearing. These are not engineering failures — they are what happens when something useful outlives the conditions it was built for.
We replace them properly: shadowing the people who use the thing before writing any code, shipping into a live environment from week five, and handing over documentation your own engineers can work from.
What an engineeringengagement covers.
Working software every fortnight, and everything needed to run it without us.
- Discovery alongside the people who use the current system
- Architecture and data model designed against real volumes
- Web platforms, applications and internal tooling
- API design, integrations and third-party connections
- Cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and environment setup
- Automated testing and observability from the first release
- Phased cutover with a dual-running period where it matters
- Documentation, training and full transfer of code and infrastructure
Stage by stage,with deliverables.
Each stage ends with something you can review and sign off — never a status update.
Shadow
We sit with the people who use the current system before writing anything. The documented process and the real one are never the same.
- Workflow map
- Data model
- Architecture proposal
Ship
Fortnightly releases into a live environment, instrumented before launch. You review working software, not a prototype at the end.
- Fortnightly releases
- Test suite
- Observability
- Live environment
Hand over
Phased cutover with dual running where the risk warrants it, then documentation and a training period with your own engineers.
- Cutover plan
- Runbooks
- Training
- Code and infrastructure transfer
Start with thearchitecture.
A technical discovery gives you the architecture, the delivery plan and the honest risks — useful whether or not we build it.
Where this workhas landed.
Engagements that ran end to end with the same team, from first workshop to live release.
Their build paid back in seven months, and our own two-person team has shipped every release since. That second part is the bit I did not expect.
Three ways in.
Whichever route you take, the same senior team stays on the project from the first call to handover.
Technical discovery
Three to four weeks. Architecture, data model and a costed delivery plan, with the risks named rather than buried.
End-to-end build
Three to nine months, fixed price per phase. Design and engineering together, shipping fortnightly from week five.
Embedded engineering
Engineers inside your team on a rolling monthly basis, with an agreed capacity and a documented exit.
Before youget in touch.
Whatever your team can maintain. We have a house preference, but handing you a system nobody in-house can support is a failure regardless of how good the code is.
Roughly half our engineering work is embedded. Pairing and code review are part of the plan from week one, because that is what makes the handover real.
You keep everything built to that point — code, infrastructure and documentation. Contracts are per phase for exactly this reason.
