AI Delivery Process

Made for: Engineering orgs whose delivery predates the AI era

Agent tooling, evals in CI, spec-driven development — installed into how your team already ships, with the guardrails that make it provable. Not a framework deck. A working default.

HOW IT WORKS

AI Delivery Process is for engineering organizations whose way of building predates the AI era. The tools have changed faster than most delivery processes, and the result is usually a handful of enthusiasts using agents well, everyone else using them badly or not at all, and no shared standard for what good looks like. We install a working default — not a framework deck.

The Delivery Audit is two weeks at a fixed fee. We look at how work actually flows through your team: how requirements become stories, how code gets written and reviewed, where quality is enforced and where it is hoped for. You get a clear picture of where delivery bends and a concrete install plan to fix it.

Process Installation is the six-to-ten-week build-out of that plan, inside your existing workflow rather than beside it: agent tooling configured for your codebase and conventions, evaluations running in CI, specification-driven development so agents build the right thing, and the guardrails that make the whole thing provable to a skeptical engineering manager. We install rituals alongside the tooling, and the metrics that tell you whether the new default is holding.

The Enablement Retainer keeps the practice improving after the install: monthly time to tune the tooling as models change, onboard new engineers to the way of working, and adjust the process as the team learns what works.

Delivery Audit

Two weeks watching how work actually flows through your engineering team, ending in a concrete plan for where AI tooling changes it and how to install that.

  • Duration2 weeks
  • MethodObservation, interviews, repository and pipeline review
  • WhoEngineering leads and a cross-section of engineers
  • FeeFixed
You leave with

A clear picture of where delivery bends today, and an install plan with the tooling, rituals, and guardrails to fix it.

What you get
  • Current-state map of your delivery flow with the bends marked
  • AI tooling inventory: what is used, by whom, with what results
  • Target workflow design
  • Install plan with sequence, effort, and the metrics that will show it holding
  • A readout for engineering leadership
How it runs
  1. 01Observe

    How requirements become stories, how code is written and reviewed, where quality is enforced and where it is hoped for.

  2. 02Measure

    Cycle time, review load, defect sources, and where AI tools are already used well or badly.

  3. 03Plan

    The target workflow: agent tooling, evals in CI, spec-driven development, guardrails; sequenced and sized for installation.

Choose this if a few engineers use AI well, most do not, and there is no shared standard for what good looks like.

6–10 weeks

Process Installation

The audit's plan built into your existing workflow: agent tooling configured for your codebase, evaluations in CI, spec-driven development, and the rituals and metrics that keep the new default holding.

  • Duration6–10 weeks
  • WhereInside your workflow, not beside it
  • WhoEngineering leads plus every team adopting it
  • AfterwardsThe Enablement Retainer keeps it tuned
You leave with

A working default for AI-assisted delivery that your whole team uses, with the evidence to show a skeptical engineering manager that it holds.

What you get
  • Configured agent tooling and architecture rules in your repositories
  • Evaluation and test gates running in CI
  • Specification templates and review checklists your team actually uses
  • A delivery metrics dashboard with the baseline recorded
  • An onboarding guide for the new way of working
How it runs
  1. 01Tooling

    Agent tooling configured for your repositories, conventions, and architecture rules; the same setup for every engineer.

  2. 02Guardrails

    Evaluations in CI, spec-driven story templates, review gates that do not trust the author, and traceability from spec to commit.

  3. 03Rituals

    Planning, review, and retrospectives adjusted for AI-assisted work; onboarding material for new joiners.

  4. 04Prove it holds

    Metrics baselined and tracked; adoption and quality reviewed with engineering leadership before we step back.

Choose this after a Delivery Audit, or when the target workflow is already clear and needs installing.

Enablement Retainer

Monthly time to keep the installed practice improving: tooling tuned as models change, new engineers onboarded, and the process adjusted as the team learns what works.

  • CadenceMonthly
  • IncludesTuning, onboarding, metric review
  • WhoEngineering leads and the team
  • Best afterProcess Installation
You leave with

A delivery practice that keeps getting better after the install instead of quietly decaying.

What you get
  • A monthly metrics review with engineering leads
  • Tooling and eval updates as models and repositories change
  • Onboarding sessions for new engineers
  • A running log of process changes and the reasons for them
How it runs
  1. 01Monthly review

    Delivery metrics reviewed: where the practice is holding and where it is slipping.

  2. 02Tune

    Tooling, rules, and evals updated for new models and new codebases.

  3. 03Onboard

    New engineers brought into the way of working; the team's questions answered.

Choose this if you want the install to still be true in a year.
