SHEET 03 · THE PROCESS

How a project runs.

Every project moves through the same four stages. No mystery, no black box - you can see where the work is at any moment, and you see working software long before the end.

STAGE 1 · LISTEN

First, the problem gets understood.

A real conversation about how the work happens today: where the data lives, who touches it, what eats the hours. The goal is to find the thing worth fixing - not to sell you the biggest possible project.

STAGE 2 · DRAW

Then you see it before it’s built.

Not a slide deck - a working drawing you can click through in your browser, with your own words and numbers on the screens. It’s far cheaper to move walls on paper than after the concrete is poured; this is where the design gets argued about and made right.

STAGE 3 · BUILD

The real thing, in milestones.

The approved drawing becomes working software against real data - delivered in stages you can log into and try, not one big reveal at the end. A pilot group goes first; the rough edges get found and filed off before everyone else arrives.

STAGE 4 · RUN

Then it just keeps working.

Launch isn’t the end - it’s the start of the part that matters. The nightly jobs run, the data lands on time, backups happen without ceremony, and when something needs attention there’s a person who already knows the whole system.

hosting, monitoring, and daily backups handled
your data stays yours, exportable any time
