Our 6D Roadmap
not a waterfall.

Every engagement runs the same way: Discover → Define → Design → Develop → Deliver → Drive. AI is part of the cycle, not bolted on at the end.

/// 01 — the journey

From first call
to production and beyond.

Six phases, three arcs. Plan tightens scope, Build creates working software, Operate keeps it shipping. Each step has named deliverables, a duration estimate, and the team it pulls in — no surprises, no scope creep.

01–02Plan 03–04Build 05–06Operate
  1. Plan D1

    Discover

    We stress-test the brief. AI fit, technical risks, success metrics, and sequencing — before anyone opens an editor.

    What you get
    • Risk register & assumptions log
    • AI fit assessment
    • Success metrics aligned to outcomes
    Duration1–2 weeks TeamStrategy + AI lead
  2. Plan D2

    Define

    Scope, success metrics, sequencing, and a costed plan. Everything in writing — nothing relies on memory.

    What you get
    • Costed delivery plan
    • Architecture sketch
    • Sprint roadmap with milestones
    Duration1 week TeamPM + Architect
  3. Build D3

    Design

    Research-led product design — production-grade prototypes, clickable, not pretty. We design what survives real users.

    What you get
    • Clickable Figma prototype
    • Design system tokens
    • User research synthesis
    Duration2–4 weeks TeamDesign squad
  4. Build D4

    Develop

    Engineering squads ship to staging behind feature flags. AI components ride alongside the codebase — not bolted on at the end.

    What you get
    • Working software in staging
    • RAG / agent pipelines
    • Test coverage + CI gates
    Duration6–14 weeks TeamFull squad
  5. Operate D5

    Deliver

    Evals, A/B tests, real users. We tune retrieval, prompts, and UX in the same loop — not in three different meetings.

    What you get
    • Production launch
    • Eval harness + benchmarks
    • A/B results & iteration plan
    Duration2–4 weeks TeamSquad + Growth
  6. Operate D6

    Drive

    Observability, on-call, retraining. We stay through the boring part — SLAs, model drift, growth experiments.

    What you get
    • SRE on-call rotation
    • Monthly business review
    • Continuous retraining
    DurationOngoing TeamLong-term partner
