How we work

A production line for software delivery

The same three phases run every engagement. What changes is the shape of the team inside them.

01

Discovery

2 weeks, fixed price

We read the code, interview the team, and map the constraints — technical, regulatory, and organizational. You get a prioritized plan, a risk register, and a working proof of concept for the riskiest assumption.

outputs
  • Prioritized modernization or build plan
  • Risk register with mitigations
  • Proof of concept for the hardest part
02

Build

Iterations of 2 weeks

Delivery runs in two-week iterations against the plan, in your repositories from the first commit. Every iteration ends with working software in an environment you can touch, and a demo backed by the pipeline, not slides.

outputs
  • Working software every iteration
  • Tests, pipelines, and infrastructure as code
  • A written decision log as we go
03

Handover

Built in from the start

Handover is not a phase at the end; it is a constraint throughout. Your engineers pair with ours during the build, run the deploys before we leave, and inherit documentation written for them — not for us.

outputs
  • Your team running deploys unassisted
  • Runbooks and onboarding documentation
  • 30-day support window after exit
Engagement shapes

Three ways to plug us in

Project team

A bytefactory team delivers a scoped outcome end to end. Best when the goal is clear and your own engineers are needed elsewhere.

Embedded squad

Our engineers join your team and your rituals, raising throughput and leaving practices behind. Best for modernization inside a living codebase.

Advisory

Architecture, scaling, and compliance guidance on a cadence — reviews, roadmaps, and decisions on paper. Best when the team is strong and the map is missing.

Start with a two-week assessment

You get a prioritized plan, a risk register, and a working proof of concept — then you decide whether to continue.
