The method
Five stations, the same every time. We publish it because a factory you can't inspect is just a black box with better marketing.
You bring the problem. We qualify it and agree the outcome.
A working session, not a discovery phase. We establish what the software has to do, who uses it, what it integrates with, and what 'done' looks like in measurable terms.
We write the specification. You own it, whatever happens next.
Priced separately and delivered as a standalone artefact: data model, screens, integrations, edge cases, and a fixed build quote against it. If you take it to another firm, it still works.
The line runs. You see working software early and often.
AI does the production — scaffolding, CRUD, integrations, variants, iteration. Humans own the architecture, the judgement calls, and the review. You get a running environment from week two, not a demo at the end.
Every change passes the same gates before it ships.
Automated test and visual-regression gates, a security review, and a named human sign-off on every merge. Nothing reaches your environment because it looked plausible.
Deployed, documented, and handed over. You own all of it.
Code, IP, infrastructure, and runbooks are yours in full. Maintainable by any competent team — no lock-in to us, and no platform to keep paying for.
Quality gates
This is the part that answers 'AI-built means low quality'. The gates are automated, they run on every change, and a human owns the sign-off.
Unit and integration coverage on business logic and every API surface. Integration tests hit a real database, not a mock.
Every UI change is rendered and diffed against an approved baseline. Unintended visual drift blocks the merge.
Dependency audit, secrets scan, authn/authz check, and a review of anything touching data handling — run as a gate, not a phase.
A named engineer reviews and approves every merge. AI writes production code here; it does not approve its own work.
What you own
Assigned to you in full on final payment. No retained licence, no shared ownership, no clause that makes leaving expensive.
Priced and delivered as its own artefact at the end of week one. Yours to take anywhere, including to someone else.
Deployed into your accounts under your control, with runbooks. Data stays in New Zealand unless you tell us otherwise.
