The Process

No black boxes.
No guesswork.
Here's exactly how it works.

Every engagement follows the same transparent 4-phase process — from your first conversation to a fully documented, handed-off system your team actually owns.

The 4 Phases

From first conversation
to fully-owned system.

Every project — whether a 2-week Audit or a 6-month retainer — moves through the same four phases. The scope changes. The process doesn't.

1
Discovery & Diagnosis

We learn your system before we touch it.

Before any recommendations, we map what you have — tools, processes, data flows, and team capacity. Most problems businesses want to solve are symptoms. We find the root causes.

  • 30-minute discovery call — we listen more than we talk
  • Stack and workflow audit across your current tools
  • Opportunity scoring: impact × effort × strategic fit
  • Stakeholder interviews if applicable to surface hidden blockers

Strategy & Architecture

The plan before the first line of code.

We design the full system before we build it — so there are no surprises, no scope creep, and no 'we should have thought of that.' You approve the blueprint before we start.

  • 90-day roadmap with milestones and dependencies
  • Tech stack recommendations with rationale and tradeoffs
  • ROI model for each proposed initiative
  • Written build spec that both sides sign off on

Build & Implement

We build it. You watch it happen.

No disappearing for 6 weeks. Weekly check-ins, a Friday Loom update, and a shared project tracker your team can see in real time.

  • Weekly 30-minute check-in — status, blockers, decisions needed
  • Friday Loom update — what got built, what's next
  • Shared project tracker — visible to your whole team, always current
  • Milestone sign-offs before advancing to next phase

Handoff & Knowledge Transfer

You leave with a system your team can run.

We don't build things that only we understand. Every engagement ends with a full knowledge transfer — documentation, walkthroughs, training, and a 30-day check-in after launch.

  • Full system documentation — written + video walkthroughs
  • Team training session on everything we built
  • KPI baseline set — so you can measure what changed
  • 30-day post-launch check-in included in every engagement

Common Questions

Still have questions?

An Audit is delivered in 5–7 business days. A full project build runs 4–8 weeks depending on complexity. Retainer engagements are ongoing. We always give you a timeline estimate in the Audit deliverable before you commit to a full build.
