Software the business can trust in production.

You might know software could change how your business runs, but not where to start. Or you might have already built something that works, often in Claude Code or Cursor, and now need it to hold up as a system the whole business can depend on. We help with both.

01 · Advisory

Fresh eyes on what's worth building.

The work that would change a business most is often the hardest to see from the inside. We work alongside your team to find where software would actually earn its keep, and leave you with a clear, costed view of where the value is, and where it isn't.

The questions we ask

  • What are your biggest pain points right now?
  • If you could have any software you wanted by tomorrow, what are the top three things it would do?
  • Where is time and money quietly leaking out of the business?
01

Opportunity discovery

We sit with your team, look at where time and money go, and identify the use cases with the strongest payback and the lowest risk. You leave with a ranked, costed shortlist, not a sixty-page deck.

02

Architecture and feasibility

For the use cases worth pursuing, we design the system: model selection, memory, tool integration, data flow, infrastructure, security. We tell you what's realistic, what isn't, and what the production version will cost to run.

03

Pilot scoping

When you're ready to build, we scope a pilot that proves value in weeks, not quarters. From there, you can move into our Engineering work, but you're not obligated to.

Take your prototype to production.

The new generation of tools (Claude Code, Cursor, agentic IDEs) has made it possible for any capable team to build a working prototype in days. The hard part is what comes next: making it reliable, secure, observable, recoverable, and compliant. That is the work we do.

Path 1

Productionise what you've built.

You have a working prototype your team built in Claude Code or a similar tool. We take it the rest of the way: cloud infrastructure (whichever cloud you use), security hardening, observability, CI/CD, automated backups, disaster recovery, uptime monitoring, and ISO 27001-aligned operational practices. The result is a system the business can run on, not a demo.

Path 2

Build it from scratch.

You don't have a prototype yet. We design and build it end to end, AI-first, with the production concerns part of the work from day one, not retrofitted at the end.

What we mean by production-grade

Four things, every time.

Cloud architecture

Cloud-native, infrastructure-as-code, repeatable environments. Works on AWS, Azure or GCP. No surprises when you need to spin up a second region or hand the system to a new engineer.

Security and compliance

Encryption in transit and at rest, secrets management, role-based access, audit logging, ISO 27001-aligned practices. Your software shouldn't be the weakest link in your security posture.

Reliability

Uptime monitoring, automated failover where it matters, tested backups, defined recovery objectives. We design for the day something fails, because eventually something will.

Iteration without risk

CI/CD, staging environments, feature flags, observability. Your team ships changes quickly and safely, with a way back if a release goes wrong.

We're not interested in becoming a dependency.

When we finish a project, your team should be able to run the system without us. We hand over documentation, runbooks, and architecture decisions, all explained in plain language. If you'd be better off building the capability in-house, we'll tell you. The right answer is the one that fits your situation, even when it isn't us.

The proof

We don't only advise on production systems. We run one.

Stratum Track is built on the same architecture, the same security model, and the same operational standards we'll apply to yours. Every recommendation we give you, we've already had to live with ourselves.
