AI in the engineering workflow, with a gate in front of it

We automate the recurring engineering work worth automating, choose models by measured quality and cost, and put evaluation and red-team gates in front of anything that reaches the codebase or your users.

A week in software engineering, before and after

  1. Mon 9:00
    The team tries an AI coding tool and argues about whether it helps.
    The evaluation set measures it on your own tasks and the scorecard says where it helps and where it does not.
  2. Tue 10:00
    A weekly release note is written by hand from the commit log.
    The release note is drafted from the merged changes with links, and an engineer approves it.
  3. Wed 14:00
    An AI feature ships and the first prompt-injection report comes from a customer.
    The feature is red-teamed before launch and the findings are ranked with mitigations.
  4. Thu 11:00
    Model costs surprise finance at month end.
    Models are chosen per step by measured quality and cost, with routing rules written down.
  5. Fri 15:00
    Data cannot leave the network, so AI is off the table.
    An in-house deployment on open-weight models is scoped, built and handed over.

What we build for software engineering teams

7 capabilities, each with its own page: the deliverables, the steps, and what is not promised.

What stays under your control

The promises that hold on every engagement, and the ones we do not make on this one.

On every engagement

  • Outputs cite the document or conversation they came from, so a person can check before acting.
  • A person approves anything that reaches a customer or writes to a system of record.
  • Delivery is Slack, email or a document you own. Other channels are not offered.
  • Fixed price, agreed before we start. Nothing numeric is published on this site.

The work runs on the TurnkeyGTM platform where it fits, and on plain software where it does not.

Not promised here

  • Anything that reaches the codebase or your users goes through a gate your team controls.
  • Red teaming is scoped and authorised in writing before any test runs.
  • The TurnkeyGTM platform is not offered on-premise; in-house work builds on open-weight, self-hostable components.

How an engagement runs

One call to scope it, one fixed price to approve, one build you can trust before it goes live, then a handover.

The full process
  1. 1

    Scope the work

    A thirty-minute call on what your team does by hand every week, where the information lives, and who needs the output.

  2. 2

    Fixed price, ROI up front

    You get a written proposal with a fixed price and an honest estimate of the hours it gives back.

  3. 3

    Build beside your process

    We design and build the automation and run it next to the manual version until the outputs match and you trust them.

  4. 4

    Hand over, keep it running

    Documentation and runbooks so your team owns it.

A thirty-minute call is enough to know whether it is worth automating. Fixed price, agreed before we start.
