Method
Each phase ends with something you own outright — a document, a system, a licence, a number. If a phase does not produce one, it has not finished.
- 012–4 weeks
Discover
We map the money, the rules and the constraints before anyone opens an editor.
Deliverable
Target architecture & regulatory path
- 023–6 weeks
Architect
Every interface, ledger entry and failure mode decided on paper first.
Deliverable
System design & threat model
- 033–9 months
Build
Small senior teams. Two-week cadence. Working software from sprint one.
Deliverable
Production system & test suite
- 044–8 weeks
Launch
Controlled rollout, live monitoring, a runbook for the night it breaks.
Deliverable
Go-live, runbooks, on-call
- 05Ongoing
Scale
New corridors, new licences, new volume. We hand over or we stay.
Deliverable
Roadmap & handover
Common questions
How does a Valorifi engagement start?
With a Discover phase of two to four weeks, which maps the money flows, the regulatory path and the technical constraints, and ends with a target architecture and a costed plan. That document is yours whether or not the engagement continues.
Do you work alongside internal engineering teams?
Usually, and it produces better outcomes than working around them. The internal team holds context no external partner can acquire quickly, and they own the system afterwards. We structure engagements so knowledge transfer is continuous rather than a handover event at the end.
What happens after launch?
Either we hand over against a documented runbook and a period of supported operation, or we stay to run the next phase — new corridors, new licences, new volume. That is a decision made at launch, not assumed in the contract.
