OUR PROCESS

How a Baraqix project runs

Software projects fail on communication far more often than on code. This is how we structure a project so that does not happen. Each phase has a defined output, so you always know what has been done and what comes next.

STEP 01

Scoping conversation

We start with a call or a detailed written exchange about what you are building, what constraints you are working within, and what success looks like. If we do not think we are the right fit for the work, we say so at this stage rather than three weeks in.

Output — A shared understanding of the problem and a decision on whether to proceed.Duration — One to three days.
STEP 02

Technical proposal and scope

We write up the proposed architecture, the deliverables, the stack, the timeline, and the price. This document is specific enough that you can hand it to another developer and they would understand the plan. No vague line items.

Output — A written proposal with fixed scope and pricing.Duration — Two to four days.
STEP 03

Architecture and setup

Before feature work begins, we set up the repository, the database schema, the deployment pipeline, and the environment configuration. Getting this right early is what prevents the rewrite later.

Output — A running skeleton in a real environment, not on a laptop.Duration — Three to seven days depending on scope.
STEP 04

Build in visible increments

Development happens in increments you can see. You get access to a staging environment from the first week and regular updates on what has shipped. If something needs to change direction, we find out in week two rather than week eight.

Output — Working software, updated continuously.Duration — The bulk of the project.
STEP 05

Hardening and handover

Error handling, edge cases, rate limits, logging, and documentation. We test the failure paths, not just the happy path. You receive documentation written for a developer who has never seen the codebase, because one day that will be someone.

Output — Production ready code plus written documentation.Duration — One to two weeks.
STEP 06

Deployment and support

We deploy to your infrastructure or ours, configure monitoring, and stay available for a defined support window after launch. Longer term maintenance arrangements are available if you want them, and entirely optional if you do not.

Output — A live system and a support agreement.

What you can expect from us

  • Direct access to the engineer building your project, not a support queue
  • Response to messages within one business day, accounting for time zones
  • Honest assessments, including when the honest assessment is that you should not build the thing
  • Code you own outright, in a repository you control, from day one
  • No lock in. If you want to take the project elsewhere, the documentation is written so you can
