Engineering the systems your business runs on.

Seven disciplines under one delivery team — build, secure, migrate and grow without handing your project between vendors. Written architecture, fixed estimates, and code that stays yours.
ARB — Architecture, Resilience, Build. The three things we insist on, in that order.
Disciplines, one delivery team
Build, secure and grow without handing your project between vendors.
Response to every enquiry
A named engineer replies within one business day, not a sales sequence.
Fixed-fee discovery
A written architecture and a real estimate before anyone commits to a build.
Retest on security work
We retest and reissue the report once your fixes are in. Included.
Seven disciplines. One delivery team.
Most agencies stop at build. We carry a project from architecture through security testing, migration and search — so nothing falls into the gap between two vendors.
Six commitments we put in writing.
None of these are aspirations. They are the terms we work under, and you are welcome to hold us to any of them.
Estimates before invoices
Scope, assumptions and price are agreed in writing before a build starts. If the scope moves, you see the cost of the change before we make it — never after.
Small releases, often
Work ships in slices you can use and judge. Nothing disappears into a six-month black box and re-emerges as a surprise.
Security is not a phase
Threat modelling happens during design, dependency and secret scanning run in CI, and our own security team reviews what our developers build.
No lock-in by design
Your repositories, your cloud accounts, your domains, your data. Standard tooling, documented decisions, and a handover you could act on tomorrow.
Written down beats remembered
Architecture decisions, runbooks and trade-offs live in the repository. Institutional memory should not depend on who is still on the call.
Say the difficult thing early
If a deadline is unrealistic or a feature is not worth building, you hear it while it is still cheap to act on. Comfortable silence is the expensive option.
A delivery process you can audit.
Six phases, each with a defined output. You always know which one you are in, what it produces, and what it costs.
01 DISCOVER
Discovery & scope
1 – 2 weeks
02 ARCHITECT
Architecture & estimate
1 – 2 weeks
03 BUILD
Build in slices
2-week cycles
04 HARDEN
Harden & assure
1 – 2 weeks
05 LAUNCH
Launch & handover
1 week
06 OPERATE
Operate & improve
Ongoing, optional
Tools we build with
65 technologies · chosen per project, never by default
Three ways to work with us.
Pick the shape that fits the problem. If you are not sure which applies, say so on the brief and we will recommend one.
Fixed-scope project
Defined outcome, known deadline
Scope, price and schedule fixed after discovery. Best when you know what needs to exist and when it needs to exist by.
- Written scope and architecture
- Fixed price per phase
- Change requests priced before work starts
- Warranty period after launch
Embedded team
Evolving roadmap, continuous delivery
A cross-functional squad working in two-week cycles alongside your people, with priorities you set at the start of each cycle.
- Named engineers, not a rotating pool
- Your board, your ceremonies
- Security and QA capacity included
- 30 days' notice either way
Assessment & advisory
A decision to make, or risk to quantify
A time-boxed engagement that ends in a document: a security assessment, an architecture review, a build-versus-buy recommendation, or a migration plan.
- Fixed-length engagement
- Findings ranked by impact and effort
- Presentation to technical and executive audiences
- Retest or follow-up review included
Questions we get asked before the first call.
Something not covered here? Ask directly — a person answers, and it is usually the same person who would do the work.
Discovery usually begins within two weeks of a signed scope. Security assessments can often start sooner, since they need a shorter run-up.
Tell us what you're building. We'll tell you what it takes.
Two lines is enough to start. You'll get a cost range, the assumptions behind it, and a straight answer on whether we're the right team for it.
