Lamdix / Process

Four phases, no mystery.

Every engagement runs the same disciplined arc — scaled to the problem, never padded for the invoice.

01

Discover

We map the real problem before proposing anything — users, systems, constraints, data, and what success measurably looks like.

What happens

  • Stakeholder sessions

    Interviews with the people who own and use the system.

  • Systems audit

    Existing tools, integrations, data quality, and constraints.

  • Success criteria

    Measurable outcomes agreed before scope is set.

What you get

  • Written technical plan
  • Scope & risk assessment
  • Build-vs-buy recommendation
  • Success criteria

Your involvement

A few focused conversations and access to the systems and people who know the problem.

Decision gate

The plan is worth building — and you agree it is. If custom work isn't the answer, we say so here.

02

Design

Architecture, interfaces, and flows designed before implementation — reviewed with you, not presented after.

What happens

  • System architecture

    How the pieces connect: data model, services, integrations.

  • Interface design

    Screens and flows designed for the people who'll use them.

  • Decision records

    Why each choice was made — documented, not tribal.

What you get

  • System architecture
  • Interface design
  • Data & integration model
  • Decision records

Your involvement

Reviewing designs and flows — your feedback lands before a line of production code.

Decision gate

You sign off on architecture and interfaces. Changes here are cheap; later they aren't.

03

Engineer

Software built in visible increments — you review working builds, not status decks.

What happens

  • Weekly increments

    Working software to try and review on a fixed rhythm.

  • Risk-path testing

    Automated tests weighted toward the paths that carry business risk.

  • Your repositories

    Code lands in repos and infrastructure you own from day one.

What you get

  • Working builds to review
  • Automated test coverage
  • Your repos & infrastructure
  • Honest progress reporting

Your involvement

A weekly review where you see real progress and decide what happens next.

Decision gate

The increment does what was promised, tested, and you're satisfied with the direction.

04

Evolve

Deployment, monitoring, and the steady iteration that keeps software healthy after launch.

What happens

  • Deployment

    Pipelines, environments, rollback paths — releases that are boring.

  • Observability

    Monitoring, logging, and evaluation sampling for AI features.

  • Handover

    Runbooks and documentation so the system outlives the engagement.

What you get

  • Deployment pipelines
  • Runbooks & handover docs
  • Monitoring setup
  • Optional maintenance rhythm

Your involvement

Deciding what launches and when — we handle the plumbing.

Decision gate

The system is live, monitored, documented, and your team can operate it.

Working with you

How we collaborate.

Weekly demos

Real builds reviewed on a fixed cadence.

Written updates

Async progress and decisions in writing.

Shared backlog

One prioritized list we both maintain.

Direct access

You talk to the engineers, not a relay.

Your accounts

Repos, cloud, and tooling under your ownership.

Documented decisions

The reasoning survives the project.

Quality built in

Automated tests on risk pathsCode review before mergeSecurity baseline & dependency hygieneEvaluation sets for AI featuresObservability & alerting

After launch

Handover & beyond.

Handover package

Runbooks, architecture docs, decision records, and a walkthrough — your team operates the system without us.

Ongoing partnership

A steady engineering rhythm — maintenance, iteration, and response expectations defined in writing.

Questions

Asked, answered.

How long does an engagement take?

It depends entirely on scope — we price and plan defined work, not vague retainers. Discovery produces a concrete plan with honest estimates.

Can you start mid-project?

Yes — taking over an existing build starts with an honest assessment of what's there before we commit to a direction.

Who owns the work?

You do — repositories, infrastructure, and documentation are yours throughout, not handed over at the end.

What if we need changes later?

We offer a maintenance and partnership rhythm, or a clean handover — either way the documentation means you're never locked in.
