Five gates between idea and governed operation

Assessment report with the current architecture map, prioritized risks, and a list of quick wins - low-effort, high-impact actions that can start before the rest of the plan.

For a diagnosis focused on one system, typically 2 to 4 weeks. For scenarios with multiple products or business areas, we split it into stages by value and complexity, each with its own timeline defined together with you.

Documented target architecture and decision records (ADRs) - the reasoning behind each technical choice, so your team can evolve the solution without depending on us to explain old decisions.

For a scope well defined by the diagnosis, typically 2 to 3 weeks. In scenarios with multiple fronts, the design is split by value domain, prioritizing the most urgent decisions first.

Phased roadmap with acceptance criteria per stage - each phase is born with a clear definition of "done", avoiding rework when it's time to validate delivery.

Typically 1 week, built right after the solution design. In more complex scenarios, the roadmap is already split into value-based waves, so you see results before the whole plan is finished.

Working increments in production, with automated tests and traceability between decision and code - progress is tracked by what's running, not by a status report.

Varies with scope - weeks for a single front, months for programs with multiple systems. That's why we deliver in increments: each one carries its own value, even if the whole program takes longer.

Delivery metrics, an observability stack, and runbooks - what your team needs to operate with autonomy once we're no longer in the room.

Ongoing, with recurring oversight - it's not a step that ends, it's what keeps the previous ones holding up over time.
