How we go from conversation to production.
Four phases. Two-week sprints. Senior engineers and AI agents on the same team. A demo every Friday, a decision every two weeks, a production system in a quarter.
Discover
We map your business, your systems, and the outcome that matters most.
We sit with stakeholders, run AI-assisted process discovery on your data and docs, and inventory the systems we'll touch. By the end of week two, we have a one-page scope, a fixed-price proposal, and an architecture sketch.
Deliverables
- Stakeholder map + outcome statement
- Current-state architecture & integration inventory
- Scoped first-release plan with fixed price
Prototype
A working prototype in your environment, with your data, in your branding.
Not slideware. A real, clickable system — running in a dev environment, with real (anonymised) data, on Akwazi platform components. You see exactly what the first release will feel like. Decision point: keep going, or stop here.
Deliverables
- Live prototype with real data
- Validated technical approach
- Confirmed scope & timeline for build
Build
Production engineering on the Akwazi platform — AI accelerated, senior-owned.
Two-week sprints with a Friday demo every fortnight. We don't disappear into a black box. Code, tests, docs, and AI agent configs land in your repository. By the end, you have a production-grade system, deployed in your cloud or ours.
Deliverables
- Production-grade portal or platform
- Security, observability, SSO from day one
- Documentation, runbooks, eval suites
Evolve
Once you're live, we partner on what's next — without rebuilding what works.
A Partner retainer gives you a senior squad on quarterly roadmaps and monthly releases. We add modules, deepen AI capabilities, and harden the platform as your business changes. The cost of change stays low because the foundation is sound.
Deliverables
- Quarterly roadmap, monthly releases
- Embedded engineering & AI ops support
- Expanded AI capabilities as data matures
The Akwazi engine
AI doesn't just live in what we ship.
It lives in how we ship.
A traditional partner staffs the project with people. We staff it with senior engineers — and a fleet of specialised AI agents that compress every phase of delivery without compromising the quality of the result.
What this means for you
- Faster. Production-grade work in a fraction of the time of a typical SI engagement.
- Cheaper. Fewer people-weeks, no “ghost team” markup, no T&M creep.
- Better. Senior engineers stay on architecture and judgment, while agents handle the toil.
AI-assisted discovery
01We feed your docs, schemas, and tickets to our agents to map current state in days, not weeks.
Platform foundations
02Modular Akwazi components — auth, audit, integration runtime, AI services — give every build a serious head start.
AI co-engineering
03Our engineers pair with agents for code generation, test scaffolding, doc writing, and migration tooling.
Safety harness
04Eval suites, confidence thresholds, structured outputs, and full audit logs on every AI decision in production.
Observability built in
05Tracing, metrics, and AI-action logs from day one — so you can see what shipped, and what AI did.
Evolution loop
06Every sprint, the platform learns from production data. New capabilities ship without rebuilding old ones.
Principles
The non-negotiables.
The way we work has shape. These three principles are how we keep that shape across every engagement.
Outcomes, not effort
We don't bill bodies. We commit to outcomes inside fixed-scope sprints — and we hit them.
No black boxes
Code, configs, runbooks, AI prompts, eval suites — all in your repos. Always.
Two-week rhythm
Demo every fortnight. Decide every fortnight. No surprises three months in.
Start small
The two-week paid Sprint.
The cleanest way to see how we work. Fixed scope. Fixed price. A real prototype you keep — regardless of whether we end up doing the full build together.
- Two senior engineers + AI agents for two weeks
- Discovery + working prototype in your environment
- Architecture review and fixed-price build proposal
- Yours to keep — no further commitment required
Start a conversation
Have something worth building?
30-minute intro call. We'll learn what you're trying to do, share whether we're the right fit, and — if we are — sketch what a first sprint would look like.
