AI moves fast.
A human signs off every gate.
Solving your business problems with maximum velocity — without sacrificing security or human accountability.
Across the entire SDLC, AI drafts, generates and scans — then a named engineer reviews and approves before anything moves. Every change is labelled [AI-GEN], rule-compliant by construction, and 100% your IP.
AI across the SDLC
From requirements through release to reporting, AI accelerates every stage of delivery — never operating outside a governed process.
Governed by humans
Nothing ships unreviewed. Every AI-touched artifact passes a named human gate before it moves downstream.
Measured as evidence
AI impact is tracked as a delta against a pre-AI baseline — team-level, honest, and never an individual KPI.
The engineering rigor didn't disappear — it moved upstream
AI removed the bottleneck at the keyboard. It did not remove the engineering. The judgement that used to happen in code review now has to happen in the specification and the architecture — before a single line is generated. That is where our senior people spend their time.
Traditional delivery
AI-assisted, governed delivery
- Specification
- Architecture
- Code generation
- Verification
Illustrative distribution. What changes is where senior effort is spent — not how much of it an enterprise system needs. The share of code generation falls because the same engineers move to specification, architecture and verification.
What never moves to AI
The work that protects your product over the long term.
Architecture ownership
A named architect owns every design decision.
Human review gates
Nothing AI-touched ships unreviewed.
QA depth & coverage
Coverage held at ≥ 80%; edge cases owned by QC.
Security & IP controls
Shift-left checks; 100% client IP ownership.
Deep-dive showcases, measured against a baseline
The engineering detail, if you want it
You can safely assume we have this covered. Open any section if you would like to see exactly how.
AI accelerates all nine SDLC stages — experts own the outcome
1 · Requirements
Reverse-engineer ambiguity; draft testable, edge-case acceptance criteria.
2 · Analysis
Consistency-check stories against system rules; surface gaps and conflicts.
3 · Architecture
Propose 2–3 options from NFRs; draft C4 diagrams and risk notes.
4 · Estimation
AI as challenger: red-team estimates against history; flag optimistic scope.
5 · Development
Boilerplate, integrations and refactors from the design — engineers own the logic.
6 · Testing
Generate cases, data and edge cases from AC; analyze coverage gaps.
7 · Security
Shift-left scanning on every commit; the lead approves the gate.
8 · Release
Draft release notes, runbooks and hypercare checklists.
9 · Reporting
Summarize Jira status, blockers and the AI-impact delta against baseline.
AI assists, humans own — and it's enforced
Every phase has a named owner and a hard gate. The IDE and the model are swappable; the governance is not.
Each phase splits into what AI drafts (cool) and the named human who owns the gate (red). The recurring red seal down the right column is the whole point — "enforced at every phase" lands without a word.
One governed AI run — rules, tickets and source
Cursor pulls context from four governed sources over MCP, runs the task on an LLM, then submits back for review.
Hub & spoke — context pulled from governed sources
One agent reaches into four governed sources, executes, then hands off to a human gate. This is the most literal reading of the title — it makes "rules, tickets and source" visibly the inputs, not steps.
Swimlanes — machine lane vs. human lane
Three lanes: governed sources feed the agent loop; the human owns the exit. Best for a technical buyer who wants to see exactly who does what — and that the human sign-off is a separate, non-negotiable lane.
Reusable assets — and the workflow that runs them
The AI practice stack
Reusable skills
The developer workflow runs on Cursor + MCP: it pulls rules, tickets and source over MCP, then submits back through a human gate — so reusable skills produce consistent, rule-compliant output every run.
