PROCESS

A clear delivery process before bespoke software build

Discovery, scope, assumptions, milestones, acceptance criteria, and handover materials are clarified before implementation expands.

Delivery proof

See the process as lanes, not paragraphs

Each stage shows client input, studio output, stage result, and commercial checkpoint together.

Delivery should be visible before it is claimed

01 Scope boundary

02 Prototype / API

03 Testing

04 Handover

Requirement notes, API specs, test checklists, launch lists, and deployment notes make progress reviewable.

Stage Result

A scope-first process for UK project enquiries covering discovery, milestones, acceptance, handover, launch support, and maintenance boundaries.

Assess and agree

01 · Initial Discussion

Client Provides: Business context, goals, existing systems, expected launch timing, and rough budget range.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Initial judgment on project type, risks, missing information, and next questions.
Commercial Checkpoint: No formal quote is normally produced at this stage.

02 · Requirement Assessment

Client Provides: Core workflows, roles, priorities, existing materials, integrations, and constraints.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: MVP scope, boundaries, dependencies, risks, delivery rhythm, and technology suggestions.
Commercial Checkpoint: Once assessment is clear enough, the project moves to solution and quote.

03 · Solution and Quote

Client Provides: Scope confirmation, priority tradeoffs, acceptable budget range, and key dates.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Solution proposal, quote, milestones, deliverables, acceptance method, and risk notes.
Commercial Checkpoint: The formal quote happens in this stage.

Design and build

04 · Contract and Deposit

Client Provides: Contract or order confirmation, payment method, communication mechanism, and project owner.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Schedule, project plan, collaboration method, material handover list, and kickoff requirements.
Commercial Checkpoint: The deposit is paid in this stage; full implementation does not start before deposit.

05 · Architecture and Prototype

Client Provides: Confirm key workflows, page structure, permission rules, data fields, and third-party accounts.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Architecture, prototype, data model, API plan, deployment plan, and monitoring plan.
Commercial Checkpoint: Major scope changes should be assessed for timeline and cost impact.

06 · Implementation

Client Provides: Provide staged feedback, test accounts, integration confirmation, and business rule details.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Frontend, backend, database, admin, integrations, rate limits, human verification, AI integration, and related features.
Commercial Checkpoint: Milestone payments can be attached if defined in the agreement.

Accept and launch

07 · Testing and Acceptance

Client Provides: Participate in acceptance and distinguish defects, improvements, and new requirements.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Fix defects, run compatibility checks, test forms, chat flows, and admin handling.
Commercial Checkpoint: Final payment starts after acceptance is confirmed.

08 · Final Payment and Delivery

Client Provides: Pay the final payment and receive code, deployment, accounts, docs, and access.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Source code, build output, deployment notes, database schema, environment variables, and admin notes.
Commercial Checkpoint: Agreed delivery materials are handed over after final payment.

09 · Launch and Maintenance

Client Provides: Confirm production domain, launch window, maintenance mode, and next iteration priorities.
TailorSol Studio Delivers: Production launch, monitoring, logs, alerts, backups, rollback verification, and maintenance suggestions.
Commercial Checkpoint: Maintenance can be monthly, per task, or scoped as new requirements.
