How an engagement actually unfolds.
A disciplined, phased program for delivering software your team will actually use — whether we're building something fully custom or implementing you on the DataVisions platform. Same program. Same cadence. Same accountability.
Custom build or platform — same program.
Whether you're starting greenfield or starting on the DataVisions platform, the engagement runs on the same five phases. What changes is what we're building inside them — not how we work or communicate.
One program. Five phases. Clear gates.
The detailed program — deliverables, artifacts, sign-off criteria — lives in your Statement of Work.
Breaking the barriers of traditional software development.
Software projects don't fail because the code is hard. They fail because the process is broken — bloated scope, unclear ownership, slow feedback, surprise invoices, and a launch nobody's ready for. We rebuilt the process.
Consultant + AI coding agent.
A real engineer is on the hook for every line of code. The AI agent accelerates them; it doesn't replace the judgment.
Agile by default.
Weekly scope, weekly demo, weekly invoice. You see working software every Friday — not at the end.
Testing & quality, baked in.
Automated tests run on every change. Quality isn't a phase — it's the default. Bugs found in build, not in production.
Your vision, not ours.
We work to your acceptance criteria. If something feels off in the demo, it's fixed before the week closes.
Human in the loop.
Wherever automation makes a decision that matters — approval, exception, escalation — a person stays in the loop with everything they need on screen.
Source code is yours.
In your repo from day one. No required retainers, no per-seat fees, no lock-in. Walk away clean if you ever want to.
You see everything your team sees.
Every engagement gets a dedicated Client Portal. Live hours, invoice line-items, change-request submit, and a Kanban board showing what’s in progress, what’s blocked, and what’s shipping Friday. No more “what are they actually working on?”
Hours & invoices
Every billable minute logged as it happens. Line-items reconcile to the dollar. No surprise invoices.
What’s shipping Friday
In progress · blocked · shipping Friday. Your team and ours look at the same board.
Submit & track
Submit, review, approve. Each CR carries scope, schedule, and cost impact with the authorizing signature attached.
Recorded weekly
Friday demos captured to the portal. Anyone on your team can catch up later — nothing trapped in someone’s inbox.
The Success Program continues after launch.
Cutover isn't the finish line — it's the start of the most important phase. Every engagement closes with a structured Success Program window, and an optional path to longer-term partnership if you want one.
Standard window
Weekly post-launch sessions with the team that built it, plus a bank of customization hours to spend on the week-one priorities that only show up once people are actually using the system.
Extended Success
Monthly retainer for enhancements, integrations, and new modules — with the same engineer who built it. Quarterly roadmap reviews. Predictable, not open-ended.
The non-negotiables
Source code is yours. Data export anytime. No lock-in. The system is something your team owns and runs — not something we hold over you.
