Reuse what works.
Think through what matters.
The 80/20 Hybrid is our shorthand for a practical approach: reuse established foundations, then put senior judgment into your product’s scope, architecture and user experience. The mix and delivery target depend on the project.
- AWS engineeringArchitecture, deployment and operations
- Your account and codeOwnership and access agreed up front
- Lehi, UtahScope, build and handoff with your team
A clear path from first call to handoff.
- 01
Scope the outcome
Agree the user, workflow, acceptance criteria, dependencies, price and delivery target.
- 02
Build and review
Deliver the agreed workflow in reviewable increments. Record scope changes before adding them.
- 03
Test and prepare launch
Check critical paths, content, devices, monitoring and store submission requirements where applicable.
- 04
Handoff and support
Confirm account access, code, operating notes and the support term in the statement of work.
The 80/20 Hybrid is our shorthand for reusable foundations plus senior judgment. It is not a measured code ratio or a universal delivery guarantee.
Reuse the foundations.
Authentication
Start with established identity services. Configure access, recovery and sign-in for the users and policies in your scope.
Payments and billing
Reuse patterns for checkout, duplicate webhook protection and payment-state reconciliation when billing is part of the product.
Monitoring
Define useful error, availability and usage signals, with someone responsible for responding to them.
Build and release checks
Automate repeatable type, test and build checks. Keep release credentials and environments under controlled access.
Interface foundations
Reuse accessible form and navigation patterns, then test them with your content, brand and real user tasks.
Infrastructure as code
Keep the infrastructure definition with the project, so configuration can be reviewed and reproduced.
Make the decisions deliberately.
Choose the first useful release
Decide which user problem to solve first, what to leave out, and what evidence will show that it works.
Architecture and integration decisions
Review security, existing systems, data access, cost and operational constraints before choosing an approach.
Quality and accessibility review
Walk the actual user flows on relevant devices, including empty states, failures, keyboard access and small screens.
Launch readiness
Review store requirements, monitoring, ownership and recovery steps. Store approval remains the platform’s decision.
Support and handoff
Document who owns the product after launch and the support period included in the agreed package.
Different projects. Different decisions.
These projects show why the user’s task and the existing system shape the work. Their case studies describe the recorded scope, without a standard timeline imposed on every engagement.
