How We Work

Practitioner-led teams embedded inside your delivery structure, owning workstreams from week one.

What Foundry Looks Like vs What It Actually Is

This distinction matters. A generalist developer builds a data model. A Foundry practitioner designs for ontology relationships, writeback governance, and the downstream implications of every field definition.

What it looks like

What it actually is

Building a data model

Designing ontology objects, properties, and relationships that will be queried, written back to, and versioned across dozens of downstream pipelines and Workshop applications

AI chatbot

AI grounded in enterprise data and context, with evaluation loops, controlled outputs, and integration into production decision and action systems

Writing a transform

Designing incremental transforms with health checks, validation logic, and governed writeback that survives data quality issues at production scale

Building a Workshop app

Designing the operational loop: the actions, approvals, writeback, and audit trail that turn a dashboard into a decision environment

Primary Model: Staff Augmentation

Embedded Delivery Partnership

Senior Foundry engineers embedded inside your team. Standups, sprint cycles, workstream ownership from week one.

The Embedded Delivery Partnership is the core offer. Senior Foundry practitioners deploy directly into your delivery structure: attending your standups, working within your sprint cycles, owning workstreams end to end.

Our engineers are fluent across the full Foundry stack: ontology design and governance, pipeline architecture including incremental transforms, branching, and health checks, Workshop application build, AIP Logic, integrations, and production deployment. They arrive ready to contribute. The onboarding they need is into your domain and your systems, not into Foundry.

What fluency looks like in practice

What fluency looks like in practice

Ontology design that accounts for writeback, versioning, and downstream impact. Governed writeback with validation and audit. Incremental transforms with health checks that survive real data quality issues. Workshop applications built as operational decision environments, not dashboards.

Additional Engagement Models

Fixed-Scope Delivery / 60 to 90 days

MVP Builds

A defined output scoped, built, and delivered within a fixed timeline. Suitable for new use cases where the output is clear but the build complexity is significant. We have done this enough times to know what a 60-day Foundry build actually requires.

Advisory / 2 to 4 weeks

Scoping and Sequencing

A structured engagement to audit your current Foundry environment, map the friction points, and produce a sequenced build plan. Useful before a significant investment, or when a programme has lost momentum and needs a clear path forward.

Ongoing / Retained

Sustainment

Retained capacity for maintenance, platform evolution, and iteration after the initial build. Foundry systems require ongoing engineering attention as the business scales. We provide that without the overhead of a full-time hire.
