Process

How it works

Custom software used to mean a quote, a long wait, and a hand-over you had to take on trust. We sell it the way you buy anything else online — fixed scope, fixed price — and then build it in the open: you watch the team of AI agents work live, the engine refuses to release until every quality gate passes, and you receive full documentation shaped on the international standards.

1 · Two ways to order

Pick a blueprint, or describe your own

Pick from the catalog

100 researched blueprints, each with its standard features, popular additions, tech stack, timeline and a fixed tier price. Customize it: custom features quoted per item, your business details, up to three extra languages, design references.

Describe your own software

Type the specs, details and description. Our analyst model drafts the product page — features, popular additions, tech stack, assumptions — and the store prices it with the same fixed tier rules. Refine until it is right, then configure it exactly like a blueprint.

Describe your software

Then: the Build Agreement

Your configuration becomes a Build Agreement — the itemized scope of what will be delivered: the standard features, your custom features ($50 simple / $150 moderate / $300 complex), business details, languages and design references. Nothing is charged until you have read and agreed to it. It is the document the planner reads, the testers test against, and the warranty refers to. Prices: Small $500 · Medium $1,500 · Large $3,500.

2 · The build team

A team of AI agents, each with a role — working in parallel

After payment your order is queued on our build engine and run by a team of agents inside a private VS Code workspace of its own. The engine — not the agents — owns the budget, the phases, the gates and the recording.

Planner

Claude Fable 5.1

Reads the Build Agreement, writes the plan, the requirements (REQ ids with acceptance criteria), the architecture and the design, and splits the work into phases — one per feature.

Orchestrator

Claude Fable 5.1 (the same session)

The planner continues as the orchestrator: it drives the build in the project's own VS Code, briefs the helpers, reviews what comes back, keeps the documents current and decides when a phase is done. This is the screen you watch.

Implementers

Claude Opus 5.5

Build the features in parallel — database, server logic, screens, unit tests — each in its own lane, reporting back to the orchestrator.

Testers

Claude Sonnet 5.5

Design the test cases and user journeys from the requirements, write the system-integration tests and the usability review, and hand defects back to the implementers.

Models named are the engine's defaults at the time of writing; the role structure is what stays constant.

3 · Watch live

You watch the real build — not a progress bar

Your order page has a private Watch your build livelink. It opens a filmed view of the orchestrator's VS Code: the file tree, files opening, code being typed, tests running in the terminal. Beside it, a text lane per helper shows what each implementer and tester is doing right now, and a phase strip at the top shows where the build is — plan, requirements, architecture, one phase per feature, tests, UI/UX, documentation, release.

  • Live means about 8–15 seconds behind the agents' screen.
  • Recorded from the first second: open the link later and play from the start, or seek to any phase.
  • After the build: a final video with chapters per phase and role, plus the full event recording.
  • After every phase the orchestrator writes a plain-language summary you also see on your order page.
  • Watching is view-only. If the build needs a decision from us, our engineers step in; you see it in the recording.

What you see on the watch page

Phase strip
Every phase of the build with its state — done, running, waiting.
The orchestrator's VS Code
Filmed live: editor tabs, the file tree, typed code, terminal output of the gates.
Helper lanes
One lane per implementer and tester with their running commentary and the files they changed.
Agent badges
Which role and model is working, on every turn and every chapter.
Recording controls
Live, from the start, or any phase; later the final video.

4 · Quality gates

The engine refuses to release until every gate passes

The agents write the code and the tests; the engine runs the gates itself, in the build workspace, and reads the measured results. A failing gate goes back to the team to fix and is run again. Only a build with every gate green is packaged as a release — with the test report, the traceability matrix and the UI screenshots inside it.

  1. 1

    Type check

    The whole project compiles with strict TypeScript.

  2. 2

    Lint

    Code-quality rules pass with no errors.

  3. 3

    Build

    A production build succeeds — the same build that runs when you use the system.

  4. 4

    Unit tests · 100 % coverage

    Business logic, API routes and server actions are covered to 100 % measured line coverage; a single uncovered line fails the gate.

  5. 5

    System-integration tests

    The built app is started and every route is exercised end to end against a real database.

  6. 6

    UI/UX tests

    The engine's own browser runs the testers' user journeys on mobile, tablet and desktop, audits every page for WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility with axe, takes screenshots, measures load times, and the tester writes a usability review against Nielsen's ten heuristics.

  7. 7

    Documents + traceability

    Every required document and section exists for the phase, and every requirement traces to at least one test case that ran and passed.

5 · Full documentation, by standard and by reader

A documentation set your next developer, auditor or operator can actually use

Every build ships a complete documentation set whose documents follow the structure of the international standards for software documentation. We are not certified against these standards and do not claim to be — we use their document shapes and required sections so the result is complete, consistent and familiar to anyone who has worked with them.

Organised by reader

Tabs for management, end users, developers, testers & QA and operations — each sees the documents meant for them, with a search across the set.

Download or print

Every document as Markdown or PDF, the whole set as a ZIP or one PDF with a linked table of contents, and a print view for each.

Traceability

The engine generates the matrix: requirement → test cases → the test run that passed. Nothing is in the release that is not traced.

6 · Delivery

Live minutes after the gates pass

The release is deployed with its own database and sign-in; your order page shows the private link and the initial admin credentials. External services (e-mail, SMS, payment gateways) are connected at official delivery.

7 · Handover

You own everything

Source code, documentation set, test report, recording and video, hosting and database access, every credential. Subscriptions transfer to your name — no markup, no lock-in.

8 · Warranty

6 months, against the Build Agreement

Any defect against the agreed scope is fixed free; the traceability matrix makes “agreed” unambiguous. Warranty & handover

Why this matters

What you gain from a build you can watch, verify and read

Transparency

You watch the real build, not a status bar. Every file opened, every test run, every decision is on the recording — with a plain-language summary after each phase.

Verifiability

The gates are enforced by the engine from measured results — coverage numbers, test logs, axe reports, screenshots — and the test report ships with the release. You can check every claim.

Standards-based handover

The documents follow the structure of the international software-documentation standards, so a new developer, an auditor or an operations team knows where to look on day one.

No black box

Requirements trace to tests, tests trace to code, code is yours. Nothing depends on remembering what was agreed — it is written down and linked.

An audit trail

The recording, the final video with chapters, the documents and the test results are kept with your order and can be downloaded any time.

Faster, at a fixed price

Implementers work in parallel and the gates catch defects as they appear, so builds finish in hours to days rather than weeks — and because the price is fixed by tier, rework is our cost, not yours.
