Evaluation harness on every release
An automated evaluation harness blocks any release that falls below the agreed groundedness threshold. Low quality output never reaches production.
Capability · Epcotec
Every merge owned by a named engineer.
Named engineers review, approve and own every merge; modern tooling removes the busywork. Delivered by named senior engineers, fixed scope, staging from week one.
Every Epcotec engagement is senior-led: named senior engineers review, approve and own every merge, while modern tooling removes the busywork. Scope, estimates and fixed-price commitments are made by the people who deliver the work, production access stays with the named engineers, and all client communication comes from the engineers themselves.
What we deliver
Senior-led delivery, in practice.
Named engineer ownership of every merge
Each change is attributed to a named engineer who reviewed and approved it. Ownership is recorded in the repository history and survives the engagement.
AI assisted drafting with senior review
Specifications, code and documentation are drafted with tooling, then read line by line by a senior engineer before anything is committed or shown.
Weekly demos and staging from week one
A working build on staging and a short demo every week from the first sprint. Progress is observed directly on staging.
Measurable quality gates
Test coverage, evaluation scores and groundedness thresholds are agreed up front and enforced automatically. Releases that miss a gate do not ship.
Documentation generated, then engineer verified
Runbooks, architecture notes and handover packs are produced as the work proceeds and are verified by the owning engineer as the work proceeds.
30 day post launch support
Every handover includes thirty days of support for defects and operational questions, included in the fixed price.
Rough time estimate
Window: Matches project length
Team: Senior engineers only
Complexity: Scope set
Indicative only. A fixed price follows a free scope review.
Get a fixed quoteDelivery process
The weekly loop.
Discovery and statement of work
A short discovery establishes scope, constraints and success criteria. It ends in a fixed scope statement of work the buyer signs before build starts.
Senior led build sprints
Work proceeds in one week sprints with weekly demos and staging deploys. A named engineer leads each sprint and owns its merges.
Hardening with quality gates
Load, security and evaluation checks run against agreed thresholds. Failures are fixed before release.
Documented handover
Code, infrastructure and documentation transfer with a verified handover pack and a walkthrough session.
Thirty days support
Thirty days of post launch support covers defects and operational questions. Issues raised in this window are fixed without further charge.
Benchmark deliveries
What that looked like on real work.
Documentation verified before handover
Generated documentation is reviewed and signed off by the owning engineer before handover. Buyers receive records that match the system as built.
Zero criticals across the suite
A 214 test suite ran clean of critical findings at handover on the most recent hardening engagement.

FAQ
Questions we hear.
Who is accountable for the work?
A named senior engineer owns each merge. Their identity is recorded in the repository history and confirmed in the handover pack.
How is automation used without losing control?
Tooling drafts specifications, code and documentation. A senior engineer reviews every artifact before it is committed, demonstrated or shipped.
What are the quality gates?
Automated tests, evaluation scores and groundedness thresholds agreed at discovery. The pipeline enforces them; releases below threshold do not ship.
What happens after launch?
Thirty days of support for defects and operational questions is included in the fixed price, alongside the verified handover pack.
