01
Requirement
Turn the ask into an explicit operating constraint.
We identify the user, business outcome, known evidence, dependencies, and ambiguity before implementation begins.
- System output
- Outcome brief + constraint map
- Expert gate
- Problem and success criteria agreed
02
Strategy
Choose the smallest credible path to value.
Product priorities, release boundaries, risks, and learning goals become a sequenced delivery decision.
- System output
- Scope + release thesis
- Expert gate
- Value, feasibility, and risk aligned
03
Architecture
Connect experience, domain, data, and integration boundaries.
The system shape is resolved before parallel work expands: contracts, ownership, failure paths, and operational needs stay visible.
- System output
- Architecture + contract map
- Expert gate
- Shared decisions reviewed
04
Orchestration
Give specialized agents bounded work and shared context.
Tasks run in parallel only where dependencies are understood. Experts keep control of cross-cutting decisions and integration order.
- System output
- Agent work graph
- Expert gate
- Responsibilities and merge points clear
05
Engineering
Build complete slices across interface, backend, and infrastructure.
Implementation follows existing contracts, reusable systems, and production conventions instead of accumulating isolated demos.
- System output
- Integrated product increment
- Expert gate
- Architecture and behavior preserved
06
Security
Enforce identity, permissions, data boundaries, and safe defaults.
Threats are traced through the real flow. Access control, sensitive data, agent actions, and failure responses are reviewed together.
- System output
- Threat controls + evidence
- Expert gate
- No critical boundary remains implicit
07
Testing
Prove behavior through contracts and real user flows.
Static checks, integration coverage, accessibility, performance, and browser validation converge on the same release candidate.
- System output
- Verification record
- Expert gate
- Affected flows pass with evidence
08
Deployment
Release through a controlled, reversible path.
Configuration, migrations, delivery automation, observability, rollback, and support ownership are ready before production changes.
- System output
- Release candidate + runbook
- Expert gate
- Launch decision remains accountable
09
Operation
Watch the system under real load and real behavior.
Runtime signals, user feedback, failure patterns, and business outcomes are reviewed against the original success criteria.
- System output
- Operating evidence
- Expert gate
- Health and adoption are observable
10
Improvement
Feed production learning back into the next requirement.
What the system teaches us becomes the next prioritized constraint, keeping product learning connected to engineering ownership.
- System output
- Next learning loop
- Expert gate
- New requirement is evidence-led
