One continuous track from idea to scale.

Six phases, one rhythm. Each phase has explicit deliverables, a duration band and a quality gate before the next phase unlocks.

Six deliverables. Six accountabilities. Every phase ships a concrete artefact, has an owner on our side and clears a gate before the next phase unlocks.

    Discovery & strategy

    We start by understanding your business, users and constraints — not by guessing the stack.

    • Stakeholder interviews & goals
    • Competitive & technical audit
    • Success metrics defined
    • Product brief signed off
  2. 02Design1–2 weeks4 deliverables

    Architecture & UX design

    Solid foundations — design systems, API contracts, schemas and infra topology before a line of code.

    • High-fidelity Figma flows
    • System & data architecture
    • Component library / design tokens
    • Sprint plan & RACI matrix
  3. 03Build4–16 weeks4 deliverables

    Agile development

    1–2 week sprints, daily standups, shippable demos every Friday — your team sees real progress every week.

    • CI/CD from sprint #1
    • Feature flags & branch previews
    • Code reviews + RFCs on PRs
    • Weekly progress demos
  4. 04VerifyContinuous4 deliverables

    QA, performance & security

    Quality is gated, not crossed-fingers. Every release goes through automated, manual and performance checkpoints.

    • Unit + E2E test coverage
    • Lighthouse / Core Web Vitals gate
    • OWASP Top-10 review
    • Load & accessibility audits
  5. 05Launch2–4 days4 deliverables

    Deployment & go-live

    Zero-downtime cutover with clear rollback plans, runbooks and 24/7 monitoring on day one.

    • Cloud infra (AWS/GCP/Azure)
    • Observability & alerting
    • Runbooks & on-call rota
    • Release notes & handover
  6. 06ScaleOngoing4 deliverables

    Support & continuous growth

    Beyond launch — monthly retainers, performance optimisation, feature add-ons and stack modernisation.

    • SLA-backed support
    • 24h incident response
    • Quarterly tech reviews
    • Roadmap & growth backlog

Every release must clear these gates.

Quality is gated, not crossed-fingers. Numbers, not vibes — every score below is enforced in CI on every push to main.

Non-negotiables on every engagement.

The process is the surface; these are the rules underneath. They're what make the process actually predictable instead of just nicely diagrammed.

  • Fixed-scope, fixed-budget

    Phases are scoped before kickoff with a written SoW. No surprise change orders mid-sprint.

  • You own everything, day one

    IP transfer signed before commit #1. Code, docs, design files and infra are yours — transferable, unencumbered.

  • Senior-only delivery

    Every engagement is led by engineers with 5+ years of production experience. No juniors billed as seniors.

  • One PM, one Slack channel

    A single dedicated project manager owns delivery. No vendor sprawl, no chasing inboxes.

Process questions, answered.

How long does the typical project take?

MVPs land in 6–10 weeks, mid-size SaaS platforms in 3–5 months, and enterprise modernisation engagements in 6+ months. We size each engagement during the discovery phase before signing the SoW.

Do you work in fixed-scope or time-and-material?

Both. ~70% of clients prefer fixed-scope sprints with milestone billing because the SoW pins the budget. Dedicated team and pod engagements are time-based with monthly invoicing.

How involved does our internal team need to be?

You'll need a product owner who can answer scope questions and approve deliverables — typically 3–5 hours a week. Everything else (design, build, QA, deployment) is handled by Krapton.

What happens after launch?

Most clients move to a monthly support retainer covering SLA-backed fixes, performance monitoring and small feature iterations. Larger product roadmaps shift into a dedicated team engagement.

Can you work alongside our existing team?

Yes — we frequently embed engineers into client codebases. Our developers attend your standups, follow your code-review standards and ship from your Jira/Linear board.

How do you handle scope changes mid-project?

Small adjustments inside an existing sprint are absorbed without a change order. Anything that meaningfully shifts the timeline or budget is paused, scoped together, and added with a written change request before work continues.

Same process. Your project.
