Step 2

Design

Architecture + security plan with diagrams, backlog, and effort bands for quick approval.

Step 3

Build

Execution in short loops: weekly demos, CI/CD gates, alerting, and docs as we ship.

Step 4

Launch

Stabilize, monitor, and transition. Keep me fractional or roll into your team with a playbook.
