Every engagement follows the same seven-phase methodology. Six weeks from scoping to production. You know exactly what happens at each stage, what you'll receive, and who is responsible.
Map the process. Understand the operation.
We study your current workflow, interview stakeholders, and document the process end-to-end. We identify where automation can make the biggest immediate impact.
Process map with pain-point analysis and opportunity assessment.
Amplitude leads discovery. Your team provides access to process knowledge and documentation.
Scope the problem. Set success criteria.
We narrow the scope to one specific, high-value problem. We define measurable success criteria and agree on the boundaries of the pilot.
Project scope document with success criteria, constraints, and timeline.
Joint workshop. Amplitude synthesizes and proposes scope. You confirm or adjust.
Design the architecture. Choose the components.
We design the technical architecture, select the appropriate tools and methodologies, and plan for edge cases and failure modes.
Technical architecture document with component specifications and failure mode analysis.
Amplitude designs architecture. You review against your technical requirements and constraints.
Build. Validate. Run against a test battery.
We build the solution in iterations. Each component is tested against our structured QA battery before production — normal inputs, edge cases, failure scenarios, and volume loads.
Working build with test results and tolerance bands documented.
Amplitude builds and tests. You provide validation data and review test results.
Review. Verify. Sign off.
We present the complete solution with test results. You verify against the agreed success criteria. We address any adjustments before moving to production.
Acceptance sign-off or adjustment list with timeline.
You evaluate against criteria. Amplitude addresses findings.
Deploy with monitoring, alerts, and escalation paths.
We deploy the solution into your production environment with full monitoring, alerting, and documented escalation procedures. Your team knows exactly what to expect and who to call if something happens.
Production deployment with runbooks, monitoring dashboard, and escalation procedures.
Amplitude handles deployment and training. You take ownership of day-to-day operations with our support.
Expand. Iterate. Add capacity.
Once the pilot is stable, we expand to adjacent processes or increase capacity. The same methodology applies — scoped, built, tested, and deployed with the same rigor. This part has no end date.
After the scoping session, we'll send you a technical brief within 48 hours covering approach, components, and estimated timeline.
