AI-assisted delivery, with the review and audit your engineers still recognise.

We help engineering teams adopt AI across the SDLC — grounded in Context-Driven Development, the methodology we use, teach, and built Ignix67 to operationalise.

01.services

Three ways we ship.

Pick the engagement model that matches where your team is. All three start with the same diagnostic — we don't onboard blind.

01advisory

AI-SDLC consultancy

Assess and upgrade your team's tooling, review practices, and delivery workflow against where AI-assisted work actually breaks. Land with a sequenced plan and the people to execute it.

02engagement

Legacy modernization

Move legacy estates forward — monolith decomposition, framework upgrades, dependency migrations — with AI handling the mechanical parts and senior engineers handling the architectural cuts. CI stays green through every step.

03build

Project-based delivery

Embedded AI-backed delivery teams that ship features in days, not sprints, when you need outside leverage. We deliver, hand back, and stay reachable for follow-on work.

03.methodology

AI-first context-driven development

The methodology we use, teach, and licence inside engagements. Stack-agnostic, tool-agnostic, and built so AI-assisted delivery stays reviewable, auditable, and accountable to the engineers reading the diff.

02.product

private beta

Ignix67

The platform we built to operationalise Context-Driven Development. Five capabilities in private beta, all driven by the same trust model: bounded autonomy, scoped credentials, every step a pull request.

  • 01PR ReviewAI-assisted code review on every pull request. Reads the diff, applies your per-repo review rules, and posts threaded comments plus a reviewer vote in Azure DevOps.
  • 02Work-items intelligenceNatural-language access to your Azure DevOps work items. Query by ID or in plain English — the chatbot translates to WIQL, surfaces missing acceptance criteria, and shows what's blocking what.
  • 03Service catalogA queryable catalog of who owns what — services, contacts, tech stack — available to the chatbot and to other agents during planning.
  • 04Wiki indexingIndex your engineering wikis so agents and the chatbot can answer from what your team has already written. Event-driven: a wiki edit triggers re-indexing without a manual refresh.
  • 05Platform assistantA chatbot that knows your platform — work items, code, wikis, service catalog, and your sky.net session history. Two-tier model: fast for tool calls, reasoning for genuinely complex questions, on the chatbot's own call.
