What we do
Four ways to work with us, each beginning with a clear understanding of the problem.
Discovery as a service
Rapid and standalone, scoped to the question you need answered.
What it is
A short, standalone engagement that defines the problem, the users and the data before anyone commits to a build.
When to use it
You have a problem statement, a business case to write, or a supplier to procure, and you need a clear picture before committing significant budget.
What you get
- Stakeholder and user interviews with the people who do the work, not just the sponsor
- A map of the current process, the data sources and the systems involved
- Technical constraints and risks, named and ranked
- A proposed architecture, a prioritised backlog and a realistic estimate
Embedded squads
From a two-week proof of concept upwards.
What it is
A small, senior team of three to five, embedded directly alongside your stakeholders.
When to use it
You need software built and want direct access to the people building it, with no account managers and an experienced team throughout.
What you get
- Iterative delivery, with working software shown early and often
- Decisions made directly with your team
- The same people from discovery through to support
- Senior developers, product managers and other roles supplied through our partners when you need more capacity
Rapid delivery
Built into every engagement.
What it is
Full-stack delivery on compressed timelines, from specialists who know the sector, working in small senior teams with AI-driven software development. Senior engineers own the architecture, the data model and the review.
When to use it
Timescales are fixed, for example a ministerial commitment or an approaching reporting cycle.
What you get
- Shorter timelines, with the same ownership of quality
- Engineers who build with AI tools every day and own what goes to production
- Evidence: a financial management platform for a UK policing organisation, built in weeks
Delivery assurance
Built into every engagement.
What it is
GDS-aligned, compliance-aware delivery practices suited to regulated environments.
When to use it
Your service will go through a service assessment, a security review, an accessibility audit, or all three.
What you get
- Public-sector work delivered in line with the GDS Service Standard
- Services built to WCAG accessibility standards
- Audit trails and role-based access built in
- Training for the people who use it, and support after launch
What we build
The kinds of systems we are asked for most.
- Case management and investigation tools
- Data aggregation, search and reporting across existing systems
- Citizen-facing and internal portals to GDS standard
- Financial and operational management tools
- Legacy rebuilds and cloud migration
- Integration, APIs and data pipelines
- Ongoing support and managed services
