Process · AI-DLC
AI-DLC is our AI-Driven Development Lifecycle. Here is exactly what AI does at each phase, what a human owns, and what you receive at the end of it — so you can check us against it.
AI drafts; engineers decide. Nothing reaches your product without a person who is accountable for it.
Types, tests, review, and CI are enforced on every change. Speed never comes at the cost of the bar.
You see progress, decisions, and trade-offs as they happen, in your own repo and your own tools.
The lifecycle
Phase 01
Understand the real problem before a line of code is written.
AI accelerates
AI synthesizes interview notes, surfaces edge cases, and drafts a first requirements map in hours, not weeks.
Engineers own
A senior engineer pressure-tests scope, names the real risks, and decides what is actually worth building.
What you get
Phase 02
Turn the problem into a concrete, low-risk plan you can fund with confidence.
AI accelerates
AI drafts architecture options, scaffolds technical specs, and checks the plan against known failure patterns.
Engineers own
The technical lead owns the architecture and the estimate — and signs their name to both.
What you get
Phase 03
Ship working software in tight, visible iterations.
AI accelerates
AI pairs on implementation, refactoring, tests, and documentation — producing first drafts fast.
Engineers own
Every AI-assisted change is read and reviewed by an engineer before it merges. AI accelerates; humans are accountable for what ships.
Guardrails
What you get
Phase 04
Catch problems before your users ever do.
AI accelerates
AI generates test cases, finds gaps in coverage, and triages failures down to likely root cause.
Engineers own
Engineers define what 'done' means, run exploratory testing, and sign off on each release.
What you get
Phase 05
Go live safely, repeatably, and without drama.
AI accelerates
AI helps author CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure config, and operational runbooks.
Engineers own
An engineer owns the release, the monitoring, and the rollback plan if something goes wrong.
What you get
Phase 06
Keep it reliable, secure, and improving as it grows.
AI accelerates
AI watches logs, drafts fixes, and flags dependency and security drift early.
Engineers own
Engineers prioritize, fix root causes rather than symptoms, and keep you informed.
What you get
A senior engineer reads every enquiry and replies within one business day. Book a call or write to us. NDA first if you prefer.
