Our method

How MMP works.

Four phases: Understand, Architect, Realize, Verify. Nothing is designed before it is understood, and nothing is called done until it is verified against the acceptance criteria agreed up front.

01. Understand — Presence MRI

What we do

A structured discovery that produces your Presence MRI — an honest current-state diagnosis of your digital presence.

  • Stakeholder interviews (leadership, marketing, sales, support, IT)
  • Current-site audit (SEO, a11y, security, performance, content)
  • Competitive & aspirational analysis (3-5 peers)
  • Tech stack inventory (site, apps, CRM, workflows, brand, AI)
  • Goals, constraints, success metrics, budget, timeline

Output: Presence MRI document (PDF) + scoping call.

Deliverables

  • Presence MRI (PDF)
  • Scoping call recording & notes
  • Initial recommendations (high-level)
  • Proposed next step (if clear)

No obligation. If we proceed, this fee applies to the full engagement.

02. Architect — Blueprint

What we do

A complete blueprint where every decision traces back to a business need.

  • Information architecture & content model
  • Page templates & component library
  • Tech stack recommendation (static-first or CMS-backed)
  • Design tokens (JSON + CSS custom properties)
  • AI behavioral training spec per page/component
  • Acceptance criteria (testable, verifiable)
  • Phase plan & effort estimate

Deliverables

  • Blueprint document (PDF)
  • Design tokens (JSON/TS/CSS)
  • Component library stub (React/Astro)
  • AI behavior specs (JSON per template)
  • Acceptance criteria document
  • Phase plan & effort estimate

03. Realize — Build

What we do

Implementation that follows the blueprint, delivered in reviewable stages.

  • Environment setup (repo, CI/CD, preview, monitoring)
  • Core implementation (templates, components, logic)
  • Design system implementation (tokens, base styles)
  • Content migration (if applicable, with validation)
  • Integrations (forms, CRM, webhooks, web apps)
  • AI behavior specs attached to every component

Stages: foundation, MVP, enhancements, polish.

Deliverables per stage

  • Source code (GitHub, GitLab, or Azure Repos)
  • Preview URL (Netlify, Vercel, or Cloudflare Pages)
  • Stage acceptance criteria & test results
  • Updated design tokens & component library
  • Deployment checklist

04. Verify — Proof

What we do

Tested against the acceptance criteria. A Verification Receipt proves what was delivered.

  • Automated audit (Site Auditor: SEO, a11y, security, perf)
  • Manual QA (cross-browser, device, assistive tech)
  • AI behavioral evaluation (spec adherence, guardrails)
  • Performance profiling (Web Vitals, traces, waterfalls)
  • Security review (headers, CSP, SRI, subresource integrity)
  • Verification Receipt & deploy

Nothing ships until all checks pass and you sign.

Verification Receipt

  • SHA-256 hashes of all deployed files
  • Site Auditor report (timestamped)
  • Manual QA checklist (browser/device/a11y)
  • AI behavioral eval results (spec adherence)
  • Performance metrics (LCP, FID, CLS, TTI)
  • Sign-off & timestamp

Proof that what was specified is what was shipped.
