02 / Process
AI makes code cheap. Process makes it correct.
This is the differentiator: a five-stage method where every AI-assisted session starts from documents and ends in a reviewed, tested pull request. Scroll through it the way an engagement actually runs.
- Documents before code
- ambiguity is killed where it's cheap
- Same gate for all code
- AI output passes human CI, always
- Context is curated
- scoped sessions, never vibe coding

Discovery & PRD
Every engagement starts with questions, not code. Stakeholder interviews, competitive context, and hard constraints become a PRD that names the audiences, the success metrics, and — critically — the non-goals. Ambiguity dies here, where it's cheap.
- PRD document
- Success metrics
- Non-goals list
- Scope & phasing

Rules & standards
Before implementation, the constitution: coding standards, conventions, quality bars, and taste — written as rules every human and AI session must obey. Review stops being debate and becomes diff-checking.
- Rules file
- Strict TS & lint config
- Testing thresholds
- A11y & perf budgets

Architecture & docs
System boundaries, data flow, and key decisions documented before they're expensive to change. Short, opinionated documents sized to fit a context window — one shared mental model for everyone (and everything) building.
- Architecture doc
- Decision records
- Data model
- Integration contracts

04 / build
Context-managed AI development
The fast part — because everything above exists. Features are built in scoped sessions with Claude Code and Cursor, each loaded with exactly the right documents: the PRD section, the relevant architecture doc, the rules. Every session ends as a reviewed, typed, tested pull request.
- Scoped sessions
- Curated context
- PR-sized changes
- Human review gate

Testing & shipping
AI-accelerated code passes the same gate human code does: CI enforcing types, lint, and tests; staged rollouts; monitoring. The process buys speed at the specification end — never by loosening the quality end.
- CI pipeline
- Staged rollout
- Monitoring
- Handover docs
