Process
Understand the problem
We talk through the process, the systems involved and the constraints: budget, deadlines, the team who will own it.
Design the architecture
You get a written plan covering components, data flows, integrations and risks before any code is written.
Build in small releases
Working software early, tested against the real providers, so problems surface while they are cheap to fix.
Hand over
Documentation, monitoring and a runbook, so your team can run and extend what was built.
