Concept → Architecture → Design → Build → Deploy
Every Soutchi project passes through the same five stages, with a formal gate at the end of each one - and a person, not an algorithm, confirms it before the next stage begins. A gate exists to stop a later stage from quietly reinterpreting an earlier one - so a build never starts on architecture nobody agreed to, and a design never gets sold as final before the person paying for it has actually seen it.
Define the real business problem in plain language, separate from the symptom. Push for a measurable outcome, name who owns the problem, and set out what's in, out and deferred for a first version - before a single screen gets described.
Turn the validated concept into a real technical design: data model, component boundaries, an explicit platform choice with the reasoning shown, and a plain assessment of ongoing cost and who owns what afterward.
For anything with a real screen, actual UI gets designed against the approved data model - not a cosmetic pass bolted on after the build. Sign-off on look, feel and flow happens before a line of production code is written.
Real code, written and run against the approved architecture and design - in bounded, testable phases, each one validated before the next begins. Never a set of instructions for someone else to follow by hand.
Promoted from build to live, with client-specific configuration set out clearly, and a plain handover note on what's owned by whom going forward - so nothing depends on Ben's memory six months later.
Nothing here is bought off a shelf.
Every product is built from scratch around what the client actually needs - never an existing piece of software bent and reconfigured until it almost fits. And every gate along the way is recorded, not assumed, with the approver agreed once, at Concept, whether that's a client or Ben himself.
