Plan. Build. Deliver.
Five stages, three phases, one team — shipping production platforms in weeks, not months.
Three phases. One team.
Five AI-DLC stages, grouped into the three phases you'll actually feel — Plan, Build, Deliver — each with concrete deliverables you can hold us to.
Plan
Strip the brief to first principles, then design the product surface — brand-true and validated before a line of production code.
Stages
- Discovery
- Design
Example deliverables
- One-page strategic brief
- Annotated user journey map
- Selected design direction + prototype
- Design system tokens + component library
Build
Production-grade build under senior review — typed end-to-end, RLS-secured by default — with QA on the critical paths and the long tail.
Stages
- Development
- Testing
Example deliverables
- Production codebase in your repo
- Typed Supabase schema + RLS + migrations
- Passing test suite with coverage report
- Accessibility + Lighthouse scorecard
Deliver
From staging to live in a day — DNS, observability, and a handover that lets your team take the wheel, with hyper-care after launch.
Stages
- Deployment
Example deliverables
- Live production environment
- Handover documentation + Loom walkthrough
- 30-day post-launch support window

“Every line of code, every design decision, every deployment — AI-augmented, human-governed.”
Inside each stage
Tap any stage to see exactly what AI does, what humans own, what you receive, and the tooling we use to get there.
AI accelerates
- Competitive scan and pattern extraction across 50+ comparable products
- Stakeholder interview synthesis into themes and risks
- Draft user stories, edge cases, and architecture options
Humans govern
- Founding team runs the strategy and goals conversation
- Senior engineer signs off on architecture direction
- Scope, sequencing, and what's out of scope — owned by us
You receive
- One-page strategic brief
- Annotated user journey map
- Sequenced delivery plan with milestones
Tooling
- GPT-5
- Notion
- FigJam
- Lovable AI
Principles
AI-augmented, human-governed
AI accelerates discovery, scaffolding, and testing. Senior engineers own every architectural and product decision.
Quality is non-negotiable
Typed end-to-end, RLS-secured by default, POPIA-aware. Faster does not mean rougher.
One repo, one team
Discovery to deployment to handover lives with the same team. No subcontracting, no telephone game.
Measured velocity
Every stage has a target window. If a stage slips, we tell you the same day — not at the next milestone.
