Our Process

Predictable delivery, from first sketch to scale.

Krapton runs every engagement on the same six-step rhythm — built to keep timelines honest, quality gated and surprises out of your inbox. Here's exactly what you get at every stage.

On-time delivery

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.

Discovery & Strategy

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.

Quality gates

Every release must clear these gates.

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.

  1. P/01

    Fixed-scope, fixed-budget

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

  2. P/02

    You own everything, day one

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

  3. P/03

    Senior-only delivery

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

  4. P/04

    One PM, one Slack channel

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

Process questions, answered.
