A real audit, not a sales call. One principal spends two weeks inside your codebase, model evals, data model, and hiring plan. You get a written report with diagrams, specific risks, and recommendations we would put in front of a board.
No slide decks. No discovery workshop. We write the build plan the way we would write it for ourselves: stack choices, model and eval strategy, deployment topology, team shape, and week-by-week milestones tied to demoable outputs.
Code in your repo from week one. Your engineers review our PRs. Our engineers review yours. We keep a shared Linear, Shortcut, or Jira and everything moves there. Every Friday the principal sends a one-page written update.
We help hire the engineers who take over, or we stay on fractionally. Either way, the principal writes a handoff letter with context, decisions, and where the system will bend first. If it breaks because of something we shipped, we fix it on our clock.
Auth, migrations, deploys, and error handling. The AI layer is the last thing we build, not the first.
If we cannot measure it, we do not deploy it. Every model has a harness your team can run.
Principals lead a maximum of two engagements at once. If we are in, we are in.
Weekly Friday update. Monthly review. Handoff letter. Important things go in writing.
Every file has an owner on your side by month two. We do not leave behind mystery systems.
We turn down work when the problem is wrong or we are not the best fit.
