Our Process
The Perizer Protocol
Five phases. Five quality gates. Zero guesswork.
The same structured process behind every platform we build — proven across every platform in our engineering case studies.
Blueprint
Map it.
Most projects fail before the first line of code — because nobody mapped them first. We run a structured discovery that captures every user, workflow, and edge case in your product. Your software gets modeled around your real business, not technical abstractions. Every major technical decision is documented in writing so nothing lives in anyone’s head. The result: a blueprint so detailed that any senior engineer could pick it up and build from it.
What you walk away with
- Product Requirements Document with acceptance criteria for every feature
- Domain models — your business concepts mapped as software entities
- Architecture Decision Records — every major technical choice documented
- User journey maps covering every role and workflow
- Epic breakdown with sequenced build order and dependencies
- Risk register with mitigation strategies for technical and product risks
Gate — must pass before next phase
- All user roles and journeys documented and approved by you
- Domain model reviewed — no ambiguous entity relationships
- At least 3 Architecture Decision Records written
- PRD signed off with measurable acceptance criteria
- Build sequence approved with effort estimates per phase
In practice: For Trurentra, Blueprint produced a PRD covering 7 epics with 200+ acceptance criteria across 60+ user stories. The domain model defined 15 core entities. Three ADRs documented multi-tenant isolation, real-time messaging, and document storage — saving weeks of debate during Build.
Foundation
Lay it.
Your foundation determines whether your product scales or collapses under growth. We build on Clean Architecture — a layered approach where your business logic stays independent from any database, framework, or third-party service. Swap your payment provider tomorrow? Your core product doesn’t change. Your entire deployment environment is version-controlled and reproducible — never dependent on one person’s knowledge.
What you walk away with
- Clean Architecture scaffolding (Controller / Usecase / Repository layers)
- Authentication with signup, login, role-based access, and token refresh
- API framework with structured errors, validation, and rate limiting
- Database with migration system and seed data
- CI/CD pipeline — automated testing and deployment on every push
- Infrastructure as Code — reproducible environments from a single config
- Observability baseline — structured logging, health checks, error tracking
Gate — must pass before next phase
- Auth flow fully functional end-to-end
- API returns structured errors with consistent format
- Database migrations run cleanly from zero to current
- CI/CD deploys to staging automatically on merge
- Health check returns 200 with dependency status
- Zero linting or type-checking warnings
In practice: Our foundation template includes JWT auth with refresh token rotation, structured logging with correlation IDs, and a full CI/CD pipeline. For Dolorvia, we had a working auth system with 3 roles (Provider, Recruiter, Admin) deployed to staging in 8 days.
Build
Shape it.
You see real, working software every week — not slide decks. We build API-first: backend services are designed and documented before frontend work begins, so every piece can be built and tested independently. We follow trunk-based development — small, frequent merges instead of branches that sit open for weeks. Every line of code is reviewed before it ships. No exceptions.
What you walk away with
- Working features deployed to staging you can access anytime
- Weekly demos of completed functionality
- API-first design — contracts defined before frontend integration
- Controller / Usecase / Repository architecture patterns
- Auto-generated API docs with request/response examples
- Integration tests for every critical workflow
- Code review on every change — nothing ships unreviewed
Gate — must pass before next phase
- All acceptance criteria from PRD met and demonstrated
- Integration tests passing for every critical workflow
- API documentation matches implemented behavior
- No critical or high-severity bugs open
- Code reviewed with no unresolved comments
- Staging accessible to you for hands-on testing
In practice: In Dolorvia, Build delivered a credential vault with AI-powered contract analysis, time-bound access codes, and a multi-role portal — 4 epics over 10 weeks. Result: 47 API endpoints, 92% integration test coverage, zero critical bugs.
Refine
Test it.
We find problems before your users do. We set performance budgets — measurable limits on page load times and API response speeds your product must meet. We scan against the OWASP Top 10, the industry standard for web security risks. Every screen is validated across devices, browsers, and screen readers. You get a product hardened for real traffic, not one that only works on a developer’s laptop.
What you walk away with
- End-to-end testing of all workflows across every role
- Performance budgets — page loads under 2s, APIs under 200ms at P95
- OWASP Top 10 security audit — injection, broken auth, misconfiguration
- Cross-device validation — mobile, tablet, desktop, all major browsers
- Accessibility review against WCAG 2.1 AA standards
- Load testing at 10x expected initial traffic
- User acceptance testing sessions with your team
Gate — must pass before next phase
- Lighthouse score above 90, P95 API response under 200ms
- Zero critical or high security vulnerabilities
- All workflows pass E2E on mobile and desktop
- Load test stable at 10x expected traffic
- No critical WCAG 2.1 AA violations
- Your team signs off on user acceptance testing
In practice: For ComputeSphere, we load-tested at 50 concurrent users (10x projection), validated Kubernetes under sustained load, and hardened multi-tenant permissions. Security scanning flagged 3 medium items — all resolved in 48 hours. Final Lighthouse score: 94.
Launch & Operate
Ship it.
We don’t build and disappear. We deploy using zero-downtime strategies — your users never see a maintenance window. We set up monitoring across three pillars: metrics (is it healthy?), logs (what happened?), and traces (where did it slow down?). We define the performance standards your platform must meet. We write step-by-step incident playbooks so nothing depends on one person’s memory. And we stay.
What you walk away with
- Zero-downtime production deployment with rolling updates
- Monitoring dashboards — uptime, errors, latency, resources
- Alerting rules that fire before users notice problems
- Service Level Objectives — uptime, latency, and error rate targets
- Incident response runbooks for common failure scenarios
- Structured logging with correlation IDs for request tracing
- Handoff docs — architecture guides, playbooks, knowledge transfer
- Ongoing support and operations partnership
Gate — must pass before next phase
- Production matches staging exactly (Infrastructure as Code verified)
- All monitoring dashboards live, alerting rules tested
- SLOs defined with baseline metrics captured
- Runbooks written for top 5 failure scenarios
- DNS cutover complete, SSL validated
- Handoff documentation reviewed and approved
In practice: ComputeSphere maintains 99.95% uptime. Trurentra handles property management at sub-200ms API response times. When Trurentra hit an unexpected traffic spike, the runbook-driven response resolved it in under 12 minutes — zero user impact.
