Five stages. No surprises.
The same sequence applies whether the work is an app, an AI integration or a security engagement. You always know what is being done, what it costs and what you receive at the end of each stage.
- 01
Scope
A short call, then a written brief: goals, users, constraints and integrations. Scope, timeline and price are fixed before work starts.
You receive: a scope document with deliverables, milestones and a fixed quote.
- 02
Secure
Security is designed in before any code is written: a threat model, data-flow review, authentication and storage decisions, vetted dependencies and a hardened baseline for the infrastructure.
You receive: a security design note and a hardened project baseline.
- 03
Build
Work runs in short iterations on that secure baseline. Each one ends with a build you can install or a report you can read, so progress is visible and direction can change early and cheaply.
You receive: weekly builds or interim findings, plus a running changelog.
- 04
Harden
Before release, the finished build is tested against the threat model: code and infrastructure review, testing of every exposed surface, a performance pass and release preparation for the App Store or production.
You receive: a release candidate and a written security report.
- 05
Monitor
After launch the work is watched: crash and error tracking, dependency updates and, for security engagements, continuous posture monitoring with alerting.
You receive: monthly reports and agreed response times.
Fixed-scope project
A defined deliverable at a fixed price. Suited to new apps, integrations and one-off assessments.
Retainer
A reserved number of days per month for ongoing development, maintenance or advice.
Security monitoring
Continuous posture monitoring and periodic reassessment of your fleet and network.
