PROJECT: QUESTFORGE · SOFTWARE STUDIO SHEET TITLE: APPROACH / METHOD OF WORKS DRAWN BY: QF ENGINEERING DATE: 2026-08 REV: A SHT 3 OF 4

+ METHOD OF WORKS · FOUR PHASES, ONE ACCOUNTABLE TEAM

Most studios stop at launch.
That is our midpoint.

You work directly with the senior engineers who design, build and then operate your system. No account layer, no hand-off to a junior team after the contract is signed.

PHASE 01 - DISCOVER

Map the problem, agree scope before code.

A short, fixed-scope discovery: we interview the people who will use the system, map the constraints, and draw the architecture on paper before anything is built.

DELIVERABLES: SCOPE DOCUMENT · ARCHITECTURE DRAWING · FIXED QUOTE
PHASE 02 - BUILD

Working software weekly, on a live URL.

Short iterations on a staging environment you can open any day of the engagement. You review running software, not slide decks; course corrections cost days, not months.

DELIVERABLES: LIVE STAGING URL · WEEKLY DEMO · TESTED CODE
PHASE 03 - SHIP

Commit to production, automatically.

Automated pipelines carry every change from commit through tests to production. Releases are boring by design - small, frequent, reversible.

DELIVERABLES: CI/CD PIPELINE · ROLLBACK PLAN · RELEASE LOG
PHASE 04 - RUN

We operate what we ship.

Monitoring, alarms, patching and a monthly operations report. When something breaks at 3am, the engineers who built it are the ones who fix it.

DELIVERABLES: MONITORING & ALARMS · PATCH CADENCE · MONTHLY OPS REPORT
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
GENERAL NOTES - FREQUENTLY ASKED

N1. HOW DOES A PROJECT START?

With a scoping call, then a short fixed-scope discovery. You get a written scope, an architecture drawing and a quote before committing to a build.

N2. HOW LONG DOES A BUILD TAKE?

Most first releases ship in 4–8 weeks. The date is agreed in the proposal, and weekly demos show whether we are on it.

N3. WHO WILL WE ACTUALLY WORK WITH?

The senior engineers building your system - in the scoping call, in the weekly demo, and in the incident channel. There is no account-management layer.

N4. HOW IS PRICING STRUCTURED?

Fixed price for discovery; project builds are quoted from the agreed scope; the run phase is a monthly retainer. Numbers live in the written proposal.

N5. CAN YOU TAKE OVER AN EXISTING SYSTEM?

Yes. We start with a paid audit - code, infrastructure, pipeline, monitoring - and hand you the findings whether or not you engage us further.

N6. WHAT IF WE WANT TO LEAVE?

Everything is yours from day one: repositories, infrastructure accounts, documentation. Because it is all defined as code, handover is a transfer, not a rescue.

Sounds like the way you want it built?
