How We Work
A proven software development process refined over 20+ years
Signal Iduna's insurance platform has been running with our 8-person dedicated team for 2+ years, serving 300,000+ policyholders. Trusted Carrier's logistics ecosystem has been maintained by our 8-12 person team for 6+ years across 13 countries. That's what a proven process produces.
Our development process
Discovery and analysis
We start from your business problem and KPIs, not a feature list. Identify what success looks like, map your existing systems and constraints, and define the scope for a first deliverable. For AI projects, this includes an AI readiness check: data sources, integration points, compliance requirements.
Strategy and planning
Define the architecture, technology choices, and team structure. For AI features, we choose models, design governance controls, and plan cost tracking from day one. Deliverables, milestones, and success metrics are agreed upon before development starts.
Design
Research-driven UI/UX with a focus on usability, not decoration. For AI features, this means clear states for AI responses, citations, approval flows, and confidence indicators. Prototypes and user testing before writing production code.
Development sprints
Two-week sprints with weekly demos. Your team sees working software every cycle, not slide decks. Continuous integration, automated testing, and code reviews on every pull request. AI-augmented engineering across the development lifecycle for faster delivery.
Testing and quality assurance
Functional testing, performance testing, and security assessments. For AI features, we add AI-specific evaluations: quality, faithfulness, safety, and latency. Human-in-the-loop validation where accuracy matters.
Deployment and support
Launch with observability, monitoring, and cost guardrails. Usage dashboards and alerting. Training and runbooks so your team operates the system independently. Ongoing support and continuous improvement based on real usage data.
Engagement models
Dedicated product team
A full team focused exclusively on your project. 5-12 specialists depending on scope. Our Signal Iduna team (8 people) and Trusted Carrier team (8-12 people) work this way. Multi-year engagements where the team knows your codebase, your users, and your business.Time and material
Flexible scope, clear hourly tracking. Best when requirements evolve or you need to explore before committing to a fixed scope.Fixed price
Defined scope, defined cost. Best when requirements are well understood and you need budget certainty.Managed service
End-to-end delivery from strategy through deployment and maintenance. We handle the full engineering lifecycle so your internal team can focus on your core business.
