The Challenge

Cheap code multiplies untested assumptions.

When code is cheap to generate, checking it becomes the bottleneck.

01

Undocumented changes

Requirements shift in meetings while tickets and tests stay the same.

02

Output that only looks finished

Generated code can pass basic checks and still miss the business need.

03

Tools disagree

The backlog, repository and CI each show part of the status.

04

Late evidence

Test coverage is pieced together at release or audit.

What You Get
Capabilities

We link every requirement to code and tests.

We pair AI assistance with clear acceptance criteria, quality targets, review gates and a live record of evidence.

DEFINE

Clear requirements

Turn requests into behaviors, edge cases, acceptance criteria and quality targets before coding starts.

Perfect for
  • User stories
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Evals
  • Edge cases
BUILD

AI-assisted engineering

Use specialized agents for code, tests and documentation while engineers review design and dependencies.

Perfect for
  • Coding agents
  • Code review
  • Docs
  • Dependencies
VERIFY

Validation and traceability

Link unit, integration, security and AI test results to each requirement, and flag gaps automatically.

Perfect for
  • Tests
  • AI evals
  • Traceability
  • Release gates
EMBED

Forward-deployed engineering

Place our engineers inside your team to build the first releases with you, then hand over the code, the agents and the playbook.

Perfect for
  • Embedded engineers
  • Pairing
  • Handover
  • Knowledge transfer
MEASURE

Delivery performance

Track lead time, deployment frequency, failure rate and recovery time, and each agent's effect on them.

Perfect for
  • DORA metrics
  • KPIs
  • Dashboards
  • Feedback

How It Works

01. Baseline

We review one product stream and find where requirements, code and tests drift apart.

02. Embed

Our engineers join the team and set up criteria, evidence links, agents and review rules in its tools.

03. Hand over

We refine the process with production feedback, then transfer it to your engineers.

What you get!
Business Outcomes

Your team keeps a faster process.

→

Clear requirements

Builders and reviewers share one definition of done.

→

Earlier gap detection

Missing code or tests show up before release day.

→

Built alongside your team

Our engineers ship real features with your staff.

→

Skills that stay

Your engineers own the process when we leave.

→

Automatic traceability

Plans, code, tests and deployments connect.

→

Regression control

Changes to code, prompts or models are retested.

→

Honest status

Reports show what is built and tested.

→

Measured delivery

DORA metrics show whether AI is helping.

Case in Point

Insurance and healthcare technology

Client engagement, anonymized

An insurance and healthcare technology organization wanted AI across software delivery without losing control of quality or security. We assessed its delivery maturity, wrote a lifecycle playbook and specified twenty delivery agents, each with a purpose, triggers, governance rules and an expected effect on DORA metrics. Leaders also received a KPI prototype and a roadmap from requirements to release evidence.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI development lifecycle?

A software delivery process in which AI assists at every stage while outputs stay traceable and reviewed. It adds quality targets, agent governance and automatic traceability to the standard SDLC.

How do you govern AI-assisted coding?

Set acceptance criteria before coding, require human review of generated code and dependencies, run automated security and quality checks, and link every change to its requirement and tests.

What are SDLC agents?

AI assistants for specific delivery tasks, such as writing user stories, generating tests, reviewing code or drafting release notes. Each should have a narrow job and a human reviewer.

How do you measure whether AI improves delivery?

Track the four DORA metrics: lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate and time to restore service. Compare them against a baseline.

What is a forward-deployed engineer?

An engineer who works inside the client's team, on its systems and real problems, instead of building from a distance. Ours build the first releases with your staff and leave the code, agents and process with them.

Get Started

Start with the feature nobody calls done.

We will trace it from requirement to release, show you the gaps and put an engineer on the first fix.
