Engineering method
Every engagement runs the same sequence. Not because process is sacred, but because the failures in this field are predictable, and each stage exists to catch one of them early.

Week 1–2
We map the workflow as it actually runs, not as the org chart says it runs.
Output
A written scope with a fixed number.
Week 2–4
The expensive decisions get made on paper, where changing them is cheap.
Output
A reviewed design you could hand to any competent team.
Week 4–10
Built in vertical slices you can test from the first fortnight.
Output
A system in production, with the audit trail running.
Ongoing
Shipping is the midpoint. The system is watched for as long as it runs.
Output
A monthly report you can read in five minutes.
The reason for the method
They fail at unclear scope, missing data contracts, silent regressions and bills nobody watched. Each stage above is aimed at one of those. The model is usually the easy part.
