Agentic Engineering Adoption

Your team has AI tools.
You don’t have results yet.

A 2025 randomised study found experienced developers were 19% slower with AI coding tools. Not because the tools don’t work, but because the engineering practices around them are missing.

The gap between these realities is not the model you use. It’s engineering discipline.
We help teams close that gap.


What we do

From honest assessment to compound results

🔍

Assessment

Where does your team actually sit on the autonomy spectrum? Which practices are missing? What’s causing the slowdown? We find the real answers, not the comfortable ones.

🗺️

Roadmap

A phased, 16-week adoption plan tailored to your stack and team. Context first, validation second, tooling third, compounding last. Concrete deliverables at every checkpoint.

Hands-on

We don’t hand you a PDF and leave. We write your first AGENTS.md with you. We configure your quality gates. We’re there when the J-curve hits and your team wants to quit.


Sound familiar?

The three things we hear in every first conversation

“We gave everyone Copilot and nothing changed.”

Tools without workflow redesign produce the J-curve: things get worse before they get better. Most teams quit during the dip.

“The AI keeps writing bad code.”

If agents produce slop, that’s an engineering problem. Missing context, conventions, validation. Fix the inputs, the outputs fix themselves.

“Our seniors say it slows them down.”

They’re right, and wrong. Their implicit knowledge doesn’t transfer to agents. Make it explicit and the dynamic reverses.


The approach

16 weeks from assessment to compound effect

Phase 0: Context Foundation

Week 1-2

AGENTS.md for every repo. Domain knowledge in markdown. Secrets audit. Agent gateway running. Pilot project selected.

Phase 1: Validation

Week 3-6

IDE agents deployed. Strictest linting, 100% test pass rate, anti-mocking rules. Pre-commit hooks. First agent-assisted feature shipped.

Phase 2: Tooling

Week 7-10

Agent-assisted PR review. Custom CLI tools for your friction points. Hard blocks defined. CI/CD redesigned for AI-generated code at volume.

Phase 3: Compound

Week 11-16

Codebase cleanup sprint. Team-wide adoption. All tools in shared repos. Standardised workflows. Compound effect measured and visible.

Who this is for

✓ Good fit

Engineering teams of 3-50. You have AI tools but aren’t seeing results. You care about code quality, not just speed. You’re willing to change workflows, not just add tools.

✗ Not a fit

Looking for a magic tool that fixes everything. Not willing to invest in documentation or process change. Need someone to build your product for you.

Let’s talk

No commitment, no pitch deck. Just a conversation between engineers about where you are and what’s possible.
