03 · How we build
Scope. Build. Harden. Run.
Four steps. Each one leaves a document you keep.
Scope in fire
Week 1
The workflow, the people, the data, the risks and what success actually means. Written down as a measurable outcome before anything is built.
Scope documentYou keep this- Problem statement
- Success metrics
- Definition of done
- In scope / out of scope
Build on your stack
Weeks 2–5
The smallest system that delivers the outcome, on your tools and your data. Agents where they help; plain software and human approval where those do the job better.
Build briefYou keep this- Approved scope
- Stack and integrations
- Hard stops
- Decide, log, continue
Harden in production
Weeks 5–7
A prototype works when things go right. We test for when they don't: bad input, failed integrations, model errors, load and escalation, until it holds.
Acceptance recordYou keep this- Criterion
- Target
- Evidence
- Verdict
Run it, together
Week 8 on
We operate and monitor the system day to day; your team sees what it did, what it escalated and why. Your data stays yours, and if you ever want to bring it in-house, nothing stands in the way.
Operating guideYou keep this- What it does
- What stays human
- What we watch
- Who to call
Praxis means practice. Forge means made, not pitched.
A demo proves something can happen once. Production proves it keeps happening: the load, the mess, the exceptions, the 3am page. Every step above exists because of a time it didn't.
