Phase 01: Audit
1–2 weeks
Map workflows, model ROI, fix the key metric.
/ 05 / PROCESS
Define the metric and acceptance test before the build.
Every Valency engagement follows the same three phases and the same proposal standard. You know what will be built, what it costs, and how success is measured before anything starts.
Phase 02: Build
8–12 weeks
Design, integrate, and ship to production against the acceptance test.
Phase 03: Care
Ongoing
Monitor, test, and improve the system month over month.
/ THE STANDARD
Every proposal, six points.
- 01The problem, in your words
- 02The one key metric the system must move
- 03An architecture diagram with data flows
- 04A specific list of deliverables
- 05An acceptance test: what done looks like
- 06Ownership terms: you own code, prompts, and accounts
Payment follows progress.
40–50% on signature, the balance on milestones and delivery. We never ask for full payment upfront on multi-week builds, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
We demo live.
Our demos run in real environments, not slide decks. You will see what breaks and how we respond because that is what production actually looks like.
