How We Work
Prototypes, validation, and structure create the clarity you need — before development gets expensive.
From idea to code
12 Phases
Each of the 12 phases creates a verifiable intermediate result: from the client call through research, prototyping, and user testing to test first, implementation, validation, and final review.
Phase 01
Clarify goals, context, risks, and success criteria together.
During intake, we translate the project into a reliable working frame and expose open assumptions.
In concrete terms
Result
A shared understanding of the project.
Phase 02
Research users, usage context, and relevant UI/UX patterns.
Research findings are consolidated from sources and become the basis for structure and design.
In concrete terms
Result
A reliable UI/UX research brief.
Phase 03
Translate research and requirements into a clickable high-fidelity prototype.
Core workflows become visible and testable before development effort begins.
In concrete terms
Result
A testable clickable prototype.
Phase 04
Test the prototype with real users in Maze.
Measurable usage signals and qualitative feedback replace gut feeling.
In concrete terms
Result
Validated workflows and prioritized feedback.
Phase 05
Translate findings into verifiable tasks and validate them with human review.
Every task is reviewed for its goal, context, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
In concrete terms
Result
A human-validated task set.
Phase 06
Describe the solution logic precisely before implementation.
Pseudocode makes data flows, states, and edge cases reviewable before code is written.
In concrete terms
Result
A reviewed technical solution logic.
Phase 07
Turn validated tasks and pseudocode into implementation-ready issues.
Issues combine context, requirements, testability, and clear definition-of-done criteria.
In concrete terms
Result
Implementation-ready Linear issues.
Phase 08
Set up the end-to-end test environment before feature implementation.
Test data, critical user journeys, and the technical test foundation are prepared reproducibly.
In concrete terms
Result
A working E2E test foundation.
Phase 09
Generate tests first from the validated requirements.
With /create-tests, expected behavior and acceptance criteria are made executable before production code.
In concrete terms
Result
Executable tests before implementation.
Phase 10
Claude Code implements against issues, pseudocode, and existing tests.
Implementation stays controlled through clear context, test feedback, and human guardrails.
In concrete terms
Result
Tested, traceable production code.
Phase 11
Validate implementation, behavior, and quality requirements end to end.
Automated checks and human review secure functionality, UX, and technical quality.
In concrete terms
Result
A validated, production-ready implementation.
Phase 12
Complete the final review and preserve reusable project knowledge.
The final stage combines human review, final corrections, and final skills for consistent continued development.
In concrete terms
Result
Production-ready software with documented project knowledge.
Clarifications
No. If scope, problem, and a design system are already in place, we jump straight into prototyping. If the design system is missing, we start with the Innovation Workshop.
The entry and exit point vary by need — the core logic stays the same. Sometimes a compact prototype is enough; other projects need several iterations all the way to the product.
When design and workflows are far enough along that we can build toward an MVP or product — the basis for that is the Code Prototype.
No-obligation conversation. Honest assessment. Clear next step.
No sales pressure.
