How we deliver
A delivery model built on evidence, not guesswork.
Every engagement follows a transparent, Cloud Adoption Framework–aligned method — with clear engagement models, measurable delivery metrics, and no surprises. Here's exactly how we work.
Methodology
Aligned to the Cloud Adoption Framework (Azure, AWS & Google Cloud all define one).
Four sequential phases get you to production; three operational disciplines run continuously to keep you governed, secure, and optimized.
Strategy
Define motivations, business outcomes, and the financial case. We turn "move to cloud" into measurable goals before anything is provisioned.
Plan
Inventory the estate, rationalize workloads (rehost / replatform / refactor), and build a costed, wave-based migration plan.
Ready
Stand up the enterprise-scale landing zone — org-level guardrails, networking, identity, and policy — entirely as Terraform code.
Adopt
Migrate and modernize onto managed app platforms (App Service / Cloud Run / ECS), Kubernetes (AKS / EKS / GKE), and managed databases, with OIDC-federated CI/CD shipping every change safely.
Govern
Policy-as-code, cost management, and FinOps keep the estate compliant and waste-free as it grows.
Secure
Zero-trust, cloud-native threat protection, and continuous posture monitoring harden the platform every day, not just at launch.
Manage
Monitoring, runbooks, and reliability practices keep production healthy — handed to your team, or run by us.

Engagement models
Four ways to work with us.
Most enterprise engagements use the Hybrid model — a fixed-price discovery that de-risks scope, then time-and-materials or a retainer for delivery.
| Model | Fixed Price | Time & Materials | Retainer | Hybrid Most popular |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Well-defined scope — assessments, landing zones | Evolving scope, R&D, modernization | Ongoing platform ops, fractional architect | Most enterprise builds |
| How you pay | One agreed price | Rate × time used | Fixed monthly fee | Fixed discovery → T&M / retainer delivery |
| Scope flexibility | Low | High | High | Phased & controlled |
| Who carries risk | We do | Shared | Shared | Us up front, shared in delivery |
| Typical first step | Fixed-scope assessment | Sprint zero | Onboarding month | Paid discovery & architecture |
Every engagement starts with a short discovery call and a fixed-scope assessment — architecture diagrams and a costed plan — so you decide before any build work begins.
How we measure
We optimize for the metrics that predict delivery performance.
DORA's research-backed software-delivery metrics — the same ones we instrument in every CI/CD pipeline we build.
Deployment Frequency
How often you successfully release to production. Higher frequency, smaller batches, lower risk.
Change Lead Time
Time for a change to go from committed in version control to running in production.
Failed Deployment Recovery Time
How fast you recover from a deployment that fails and needs immediate intervention.
Change Fail Rate
The share of deployments that cause a failure requiring remediation in production.
Deployment Rework Rate
How often deployments require unplanned rework — DORA's newest reliability signal.
