Engagement, week by week

From onboarded to live in production.

  1. Week 0
    Onboarded

    Operator inside the client team. Badges, VPN, first standup.

  2. Week 2
    Diagnosis

    Every manual step mapped. Every failure mode logged.

  3. Week 4
    First rewrite

    First load-bearing system rebuilt in staging. Real data, real load.

  4. Week 6
    Live

    Production deploy. Client team on the tools. Handover in progress.

What we found

PLACEHOLDER — the diagnosis. The pipeline as we found it. The manual steps compounding across teams. The compliance overhead the incumbent tooling could not touch.

PLACEHOLDER — the specific failure modes we identified in week 2 that reframed the scope of the rewrite.

What we shipped

PLACEHOLDER — the rebuild. The load-bearing systems replaced. The team seated inside the practice. The production deploy without a shadow environment.

PLACEHOLDER — the specific architectural decisions we made under load-testing that the vendor spec would not have surfaced.

43%

Cycle measured against the prior-year baseline in the same operation. Handover completed within nine weeks of onboarding.

The client team owns the code, the pipeline, and the runbook. The next system is already visible.

Verbatim from the room
Pillor did not sell us a tool. They wrote the software with our team in the room. It is the only engagement of this scale that shipped in the window quoted.
