APPROACH
Payment systems fail expensively and publicly.
Our process is shaped around that.
PRINCIPLES
1
Idempotency, exactly-once semantics and reconcilable state are not optional extras.
2
Not the provider dashboard, not the database row someone edited.
3
Timeouts, partial captures, network drops and provider outages are designed for, not discovered.
4
Nothing involving money gets a big-bang cutover.
5
If you can’t see it, you can’t operate it.
6
You’ll get a straight answer about risk, timeline and cost, including when the answer is inconvenient.
PROCESS
PHASE
DURATION
OUTPUT
Discovery

Current-state assessment, requirements, risk register
Architecture
2–3 weeks
Target architecture, integration plan, delivery estimate
Build
Fortnightly sprints
Working software in a live environment each sprint
Hardening
2–4 weeks
Load, failure and security testing; pen-test remediation
Launch
Phased
Dual-run, staged traffic shift, monitored cutover
Run
Ongoing or handover
SLA-backed support, or documented transfer to your team
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
