The Opportunity

AI-native development is an organisational capability.
Building it takes sustained CRAFT Method adoption across all five practices.

The Method Needs Muscle Memory

Knowing CRAFT and practising Curate, Refine, Architect, Fortify, and Test daily are two different things. Permanent capability comes from sustained, deliberate application on real work — until the method is second nature across every team.

Organisational Capability, Not Individual Skill

AI-native development only compounds when the entire engineering org adopts it. One or two strong practitioners aren't enough — you need consistent capability across all teams, with governance to sustain it.

Consistency Across Teams

Different teams adopt at different speeds. Permanent AI-native capability means standardised quality gates, shared context architecture, and measurable progress across the whole organisation.

Built on Your Real Codebase

Your legacy systems, complex dependencies, and team dynamics are where the real leverage is. AI-native development becomes permanent when teams master the method on their actual work — not simplified exercises.

How You Get There

Your team becomes AI-native by doing the work —
with us alongside them.

A CRAFT practitioner works inside your team — pairing on your backlog, coaching your leads, building your champions — until AI-native development is how your organisation naturally operates.

Daily Pair Programming

60% of the engagement

We sit next to your developers (physically or virtually) and code together on real tickets from your backlog.

  • Work on actual features, bug fixes, and refactors — not exercises
  • Demonstrate the CRAFT Method — Curate, Refine, Architect, Fortify, Test — in your real codebase
  • Real-time feedback on context curation, spec refinement, pattern adherence, security gates, and AI-generated tests
  • Gradually hand off as developers build confidence and competence
  • Rotate across team members to spread knowledge evenly

Weekly Coaching Sessions

25% of the engagement

Structured sessions with tech leads and senior developers to elevate their ability to guide teams.

  • Review AI-generated code quality, pattern adherence, and ADR compliance (Architect)
  • Audit AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md and codebase intelligence layers (Curate)
  • Strengthen spec completeness, predicate criteria, and edge-case generation (Refine)
  • Tune SAST/DAST/SCA gates, SBOM/AIBOM coverage, and supply-chain controls (Fortify)
  • Calibrate AI test generation, mutation tests, and quality gates (Test)

Champion Building

15% of the engagement

We identify and develop internal CRAFT champions who can sustain and spread the method after we leave.

  • Identify natural champions within each team
  • Deep-dive mentoring on advanced CRAFT techniques
  • Train them to onboard new developers to CRAFT
  • Create internal documentation and playbooks
  • Build a community of practice within your org
The Journey

3-6 Months to AI-Native

Each phase builds on the last. You see results from week one.

1
Foundation
Month 1-2 — Assess, pilot, first wins
Week 1-2

Deep Discovery

  • Full CRAFT assessment across all 5 practices (if not already done)
  • Codebase intelligence audit — context, AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md (Curate)
  • Spec, ADR, and security/test pipeline audit (Refine, Architect, Fortify, Test)
  • Identify the pilot team (3-5 developers)
  • Set up initial context files and pattern/ADR scaffolding
Week 3-8

Pilot & Prove

  • Daily pair programming with pilot team
  • Ship real features through the full Curate → Refine → Architect → Fortify → Test loop
  • Measure velocity, AI code quality, security gate pass-rate, and developer satisfaction
  • Refine each practice based on real-world feedback
  • Build the evidence base for broader rollout
2
Expansion
Month 3-4 — Roll out across teams
Team Expansion

Scale What Works

  • Onboard additional teams using proven playbook
  • Pilot team members become co-trainers
  • Standardise context files across projects
  • Establish quality gates and review patterns
  • Cross-team knowledge sharing sessions
Governance

Build the System

  • Define org-wide standards across all 5 practices
  • Stand up context governance, ownership, and audits (Curate)
  • Codify pattern libraries, ADRs, and agentic CI/CD (Architect)
  • Wire SAST/DAST/SCA, SBOMs/AIBOMs, supply-chain and compliance controls — ISO 42001 / EU AI Act-ready (Fortify)
  • Set blocking quality gates, AI test generation, and DORA-aligned dashboards (Test)
3
Independence
Month 5-6 — Self-sustaining capability
Champion Activation

Internal Leaders Take Over

  • Internal champions lead pair programming sessions
  • Coaching transitions from us to your leads
  • New developer onboarding uses CRAFT from day one
  • Community of practice runs independently
  • Continuous improvement loop established
Full Handoff

We Leave When You're Ready

  • Final assessment — measure improvement across all 5 practices
  • Complete documentation handover
  • Sustainability plan for ongoing improvement
  • Optional quarterly check-ins post-engagement
  • Your org is fully self-sufficient with CRAFT

Is This For You?

This is for organisations serious about AI-native
development.

Perfect fit if you:
  • Have already done the workshop and want to go deeper
  • Have 5-50+ developers who need to adopt CRAFT
  • Want permanent capability, not a one-off event
  • Are willing to invest in a 3-6 month transformation
  • Need measurable outcomes your board can see
  • Want someone to code alongside your team, not lecture them
Common Questions

What Leaders Ask

Do we need to do the workshop first?

Recommended but not required. The workshop gives your team a shared foundation that accelerates the transformation. If you skip it, we spend the first 2 weeks covering the fundamentals.

How many hours per week is the engagement?

Typically 20-30 hours per week of embedded time — pair programming, coaching sessions, and async code review. We flex based on your team's capacity and sprint rhythm.

Can this be done remotely?

Yes. Most engagements are hybrid or fully remote. Pair programming works well over screen share. We adapt to your team's working style.

What if we only have 3 months?

We compress the program to focus on one pilot team and build 2-3 internal champions. You'll have a working model you can scale independently.

How do you measure success?

CRAFT assessment scores at start and end. Plus: developer velocity metrics, code quality measurements, developer satisfaction surveys, and knowledge distribution metrics. You get a clear before/after.

What about the investment?

Custom-quoted based on team size, duration, and engagement model. This is a transformation investment — contact us for a tailored proposal.
