Our Process

Gated commitment. Prove value before scaling.

Prove Value Before Scaling

Your expertise, working for you — systematically, so it compounds.

People who were drowning now have time for the work that actually matters to them. The thing you thought would take a year happens in weeks.

Fixed-scope sprints. Start small, see results, decide what's next. No large upfront commitments.


The Shift

Traditional software required heavy planning because building was expensive. That's no longer true.

Software is ephemeral. Building is cheap. Rebuilding is cheap. We don't agonize over architecture—we build, learn, and rebuild if needed.

Software is compounding. Each tool we build accelerates the next. The infrastructure from Sprint 1 makes Sprint 2 faster.

Velocity is the variable. Fixed time, flexible scope. Timebox thinking forces ruthless prioritization. The question isn't "how long will this take?" but "what can we prove in 4 weeks?"


The Model

┌─────────┐    ┌──────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│  Demo   │───▶│ Strategy │───▶│ Design &    │───▶│   Data     │
│ (1 day) │    │  Sprint  │    │ Build Sprint│    │   Sprint   │
└─────────┘    └──────────┘    └─────────────┘    └────────────┘
 Pre-engage     2-4 weeks         4 weeks           4 weeks
Phase Duration Investment
Demo 1 day Pre-engagement
Strategy Sprint 2–4 weeks $15K–$25K
Design & Build Sprint 4 weeks $30K
Data Sprint 4 weeks $30K

Typical engagement: $75K–$135K over 3–6 months (Strategy Sprint + 2–4 subsequent sprints).

You can run up to 2 sprints simultaneously if you want to move faster.

Demo (Pre-Engagement)

Before any sprint, we can build a working demo in a single day.

Input: A customer call transcript, a problem statement, a hypothesis Output: Working software that proves or disproves the hypothesis

This happens before you sign anything. It shows you how we work and whether the approach fits your situation.


What You'll Discover

The Strategy Sprint isn't just about what we learn—it's about what you'll realize about your own business.

Seeing your workflows mapped for the first time "I never realized we touch 7 different systems just to process one order."

Cross-team patterns you didn't know existed "Wait—sales and operations are doing the same validation twice?"

Time and volume data that surprises you "We spend HOW many hours on that every week?"

These insights often matter more than our recommendations. You can't improve what you don't see.


Jobs-to-be-Done: Your North Star

Before we map workflows, we map Jobs-to-be-Done—the outcomes your customers and team members need to accomplish.

Jobs are stable. Workflows are not.

Your job might be "get a quote to a customer." Today's workflow involves 4 people, 3 systems, and 2 days. Tomorrow's might involve 1 person, 1 system, and 10 minutes. The job stays the same.

We map jobs first because they're your north star. Everything we design traces back to "does this help accomplish the job better?"
