Client services

What we do for clients

We apply the delivery practice behind our own collection to a defined client problem. Each engagement begins with a written scope, review points, and evidence appropriate to the work.

The outlines

Client service

Agent-driven software delivery

A written, reviewable delivery loop for an existing product or a focused new slice.

What the work can include

  • A written scope and sprint plan tied to the agreed outcome.
  • Implemented product work with reviewable source changes and pull-request evidence where a repository is in scope.
  • Relevant build, test, or browser-check evidence and a short handoff describing what remains.

Client service

Cross-platform app development

Product and delivery work across web, mobile, desktop, and the services behind them.

What the work can include

  • A platform recommendation tied to the product’s users, devices, and operating constraints.
  • A working product slice across the agreed clients and backend services.
  • Release-readiness work appropriate to the scope, such as store preparation, hosted environments, or handoff notes.

Client service

Game development

Playable browser, desktop, and interactive-world prototypes with a clear boundary between a vertical slice and a released game.

What the work can include

  • A focused game or interaction brief that identifies the player loop and the smallest playable proof.
  • The agreed prototype work: gameplay systems, scenes, assets, save behavior, or a browser/native build.
  • A playtest or review handoff with the known limits of the current slice.

Client service

Self-hosted AI tooling

Assistants, review systems, and agent environments shaped around your infrastructure and human decision points.

What the work can include

  • A scoped architecture and policy outline for the intended users, models, data, tools, and approval points.
  • The agreed assistant, reviewer, agent workflow, or integration slice running in the selected environment.
  • Operational notes covering access, human review, observed validation, and open risks for the delivered slice.

Client service

Operator workspaces & workflows

Software for the people who collect evidence, move cases forward, and need a clear record of decisions.

What the work can include

  • A mapped operational workflow with ownership, states, and the evidence each step needs.
  • An operator workspace or focused workflow slice for the agreed process.
  • Review points, audit-friendly records, and handoff documentation for the people who run the process.

Client service

Data platforms & analytics

Ingestion, data models, APIs, and useful views for a domain where evidence needs to stay connected.

What the work can include

  • A data-flow and source-of-truth plan for the agreed questions.
  • The scoped ingestion, storage, API, worker, dashboard, or portal work.
  • Validation notes that distinguish live data, deterministic demos, and work still in progress.

Client service

Spatial design & interactive worlds

Editable spatial studies that connect a web scene, authored assets, and an optional native walkthrough.

What the work can include

  • A scene brief and measurable design constraints for the space being studied.
  • A scoped interactive web scene, authored asset work, or walkthrough prototype.
  • A handoff that identifies the scene recipe, editable assets, and the boundaries of the study.

Built with

How an engagement works

The same loop runs behind every outline, whatever the work is.

  1. Discovery

    We start from the goal, the current state, the constraints, and only the access discovery actually needs.

  2. Written scope

    The agreed slice becomes a written scope and backlog, naming the evidence that will show it working.

  3. Build sprints

    Work is delivered in short, fixed-scope sprints against that written scope.

  4. Review points

    Each sprint ends at a review point, where the delivered work and its evidence are looked at together.

  5. Handover

    You receive the source changes, the validation record, and a short note on what remains.

Ways to engage

Discovery sprint

One to two weeks

Ends with a written scope and, where useful, a working spike.

Build sprints

Fixed-scope two-week sprints

Each sprint ends with a review point and delivery evidence.

Run and improve

An agreed monthly cadence

Ongoing operation, maintenance, and small improvements.

These are shapes, not quotes. No prices are published here, and no schedule, performance, uptime, or business-result guarantee is implied before a scope is written.

Questions

Who owns the code?

Delivery hands over the source changes and the validation record for the agreed work, with pull-request evidence where a repository is in scope. These outlines do not set ownership terms. This is agreed in the written scope during discovery.

Where does the software run?

Where the scope says. Work can include hosted environments, store preparation, or a slice running in an environment you select. Self-hosting can change control and deployment choices; it does not by itself make a system private, secure, compliant, or available, and provider behavior and third-party service terms stay outside Dotcoder’s control. The hosting arrangement is agreed in the written scope during discovery.

How is confidential material handled?

Discovery asks for representative, safe-to-share examples and redacted packets, together with your constraints on data handling, identity, integrations, retention, and audit records. Repository, environment, and API access is requested only after the scope calls for it. A non-disclosure agreement or any other confidentiality term is agreed in the written scope during discovery.

How long does an engagement take?

A discovery sprint usually runs one to two weeks and ends with a written scope. Build work runs as fixed-scope two-week sprints, each ending with a review point and delivery evidence. No schedule, performance, uptime, or business-result guarantee is implied before a scope is written.

Does agent assistance remove human review?

No. Agent assistance does not remove human review, product decisions, or ownership of production approvals, and model output requires review appropriate to the decision it informs.

How an engagement starts

Send a short description of the product or process, where it is today, and what a useful first outcome would be. We reply with the next discovery step and, when there is a fit, a written scope.
