Our Process
We've refined this across 11 production systems. It gets working software in your hands fast, with enough structure to avoid expensive mistakes.
Four phases to production
Each phase has clear deliverables. No ambiguity about what you're getting.
Discovery
We dig into what you're actually trying to build. Not just features—the business problem, the users, the domain. For property management, that means understanding leases, turnover, maintenance workflows. For other projects, we learn your world before writing code.
- →Project scope document
- →Technical requirements
- →Risk assessment
- →Timeline estimate
Architecture
We design the system before writing code. Data models, API contracts, infrastructure decisions. This is where we catch bad ideas before they become expensive mistakes.
- →System architecture diagram
- →Database schema design
- →API specification
- →Tech stack decisions
Rapid Build
Fast iteration cycles with working software at each checkpoint. You see progress weekly, not monthly. We ship early versions you can actually use and test with real users.
- →Weekly deployable builds
- →Staging environment
- →Progress demos
- →Continuous feedback loops
Production
Launch isn't the end—it's where real learning starts. We deploy with proper monitoring, handle the inevitable surprises, and iterate based on actual usage data.
- →Production deployment
- →Monitoring and alerting
- →Documentation
- →Handoff or ongoing support
How we think
Working Software Over Documents
We'd rather show you a prototype than write a 50-page spec. Documents lie, working code doesn't.
Tight Feedback Loops
Weekly demos, constant communication. Problems surface early when feedback is fast.
Production-First Mindset
We deploy to production early and often. If it can't run in prod, it doesn't count as done.
Scope Honesty
We'll tell you when you're asking for too much. Cutting scope is often the fastest path to shipping.
Common Questions
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope, but we've shipped MVPs in 2-4 weeks and complex platforms in 2-3 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline after discovery.
Do you work with existing codebases?
Yes. We can take over existing projects, refactor legacy code, or build new features on top of what you have. We'll audit first and be honest about what we find.
Do you specialize in any particular industry?
We've gone deep on property management—our flagship product handles 50k+ records with sub-100ms search. But our process works for any complex system. The rigor is the same whether we're building property tech or e-commerce.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We can do full handoff with documentation, or provide ongoing support and feature development. Whatever makes sense for your team.
