Scope the investment, make technical decisions, deliver in stages and validate against agreed criteria. You keep visibility into scope, budget and the next decisions.
01 / Scoping
Decide what to build.
Understand your operations, existing systems and risks before committing to development.
Your team provides
Usage, constraints, existing systems and the desired outcome. Code and data access are defined according to the subject.
Codetics delivers
A feasibility note, identified risks, a prioritised scope and an estimate of budget and timing.
We validate together
The problem, assumptions, exclusions and conditions for proceeding. Scoping may conclude that development is unnecessary.
02 / Design
Define the product and its boundaries.
Connect user journeys, business rules and system architecture.
Your team provides
Processes to cover, business rules, integration constraints and the people who will use the software.
Codetics delivers
A data model, architecture decisions and, where useful, an interactive prototype of critical journeys.
We validate together
Product states, exchange contracts, access permissions and acceptance criteria. Remaining unknowns are documented.
03 / Development
Build in verifiable stages.
Regularly test the software against real usage and constraints.
Your team provides
A contact for decisions and access to the environments, services or equipment included in the scope.
Codetics delivers
Testable versions, reviewed code, agreed tests and demonstrations of completed functionality.
We validate together
Business scenarios and integrations. Scope changes are assessed before changing the budget or timeline.
04 / Production & handover
Deliver an operable system.
Prepare production and your team's ability to take over.
Your team provides
Acceptance scenarios, validation owners and the target environment's constraints.
Codetics delivers
Source code, documentation, agreed deployment and operations procedures, and a handover to your team.
We validate together
Acceptance, deployment conditions and knowledge transfer. Hosting, maintenance and ongoing support are defined separately.
Explicit decisions throughout the engagement.
The quote specifies deliverables, responsibilities and expected validations. Each stage produces material you can review. Trade-offs and boundaries are documented to prepare maintenance.
Where should you start?
A requirement to clarify
Scoping identifies boundaries, risks and feasibility before building.
