Discovery Sprint
Embedded research and architecture. Output is a costed, sequenced plan you can take into procurement — whether or not you build with us.
- Stakeholder workshops
- Technical due diligence
- Risk register
- Costed roadmap
Bespoke engineering
When the off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we build it.
Cross-functional pods of senior engineers, designers and PMs — embedded with your team or running fixed-scope projects end-to-end. Available ad-hoc or under retainer.

Practices
Six practices that compose into whole solutions
We're full-stack as a company, not just an engineering team. Compose practices to match your problem — or have us run the entire programme.
Custom Software Development
Web, mobile, back-office, integrations. From greenfield platforms to surgical work inside legacy estates. TypeScript, Go, Python, Java, .NET.
Cloud & DevOps
Sovereign and hyperscale architecture, IaC, GitOps pipelines, FinOps and SRE practice. AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, Kubernetes.
Data & Analytics
Modern data platforms — from warehousing and lakehouse architectures to streaming pipelines, ML, and self-service BI.
Cyber & Compliance
Threat modeling, SOC, vulnerability management, compliance gap assessments aligned to POPIA, ISO 27001 and the new Cyber Crimes Act.
AI & Automation
Document understanding, citizen self-service, fraud signals, RPA. Deployed cautiously, with auditable decisions and humans in the loop.
Service & Product Design
Research, journey mapping, prototyping, accessibility audits. Citizen-facing service design that respects bandwidth, language and ability.
Engagement models
Three ways to bring us in.
Match your procurement reality, not the other way around.
8–24 weeks
Fixed-Scope Build
A shippable product with a clear definition of done, fixed price and fixed timeline. Best for well-understood problems with stable scope.
- Bi-weekly demo cadence
- Acceptance criteria up front
- Optional 90-day support
- Knowledge transfer included
Quarterly
Embedded Pod
A 4–7 person pod (eng + design + PM) plugged into your team for a quarter or more. Ideal for ongoing platforms, modernisation, or scaling capacity.
- Senior-only staffing
- Your sprints, our craft
- 30-day rolling extension
- Joint hiring optional
Tech we ship with
A modern, opinionated, polyglot stack.
We pick the right tool, then we're ruthless about consistency. No accidental complexity, no vanity tech.

Working with us
The unsexy practices that make our delivery boringly reliable.
Daily-standup, weekly-demo, fortnightly-retro
You see real software every fortnight. No 6-month silences ending in a big reveal.
Trunk-based development with feature flags
Small commits, continuous integration, decoupled releases. Risk lives in flags, not in long-lived branches.
Production telemetry from day one
Logging, tracing, metrics, alerting on the first deploy. We measure what we ship.
Runbooks, ADRs, and a knowledge handover plan
Decisions and operational knowledge are written down. Your team can take over at any milestone.
Talk to engineers
Sketch a problem on a whiteboard with us.
Discovery sessions are free and structured. You leave with a written architecture brief, ballpark cost band and timeline — whether or not you decide to work with us.
