§ 02.B — Process

How an engagement works.

01step

Brief

You share the problem. I ask the questions that matter. No forms, no discovery calls that go nowhere — just a direct conversation about what you're building and what's in the way.

02step

Scope

I define the deliverables, timeline, and cost. Fixed scope where possible. No surprises.

03step

Build

Iterative delivery with async updates. You see progress weekly. I flag blockers early, not at the deadline.

04step

Handover

Every engagement ends with documentation, runbooks, and a knowledge transfer. Your team owns it when I leave.

§ 02.C — Engage

Not on the list?
Send the brief anyway.

The interesting work usually doesn’t fit a template. If it’s hard and important, I want to hear about it.
