ANSATZ · AGENTIC ARCHITECTURE

Are you shipping
10x faster with AI yet?

Architecture that lets you ship faster without losing control.

Sound familiar?

You moved fast. Now you're paying for it.

01
THE POST-MAGIC FOUNDER

House of Cards

The prototype worked. It felt like magic. Now every change breaks three other things, and you're terrified to touch it.

  • No specs, no docs, no tests—just a frontend held together by luck
  • Your AI's fixes keep breaking last week's AI fixes.
  • The 'speed' was purchased with debt you can't afford to repay
02
THE HOSTAGE CTO

One Resignation Away

The whole system lives in one person's head. Lose them for any reason—and the company dies.

  • Onboarding is impossible. There's no documentation, only tribal knowledge.
  • You can't enforce quality or fire toxic performers—they hold the keys
  • Your system is running on borrowed time
03
THE STALLED SCALE-UP

Velocity Paralysis

You have product-market fit. You should be flying. Instead, you're stuck fixing bugs from the last sprint.

  • Every new feature creates two new fires to put out
  • Senior engineers are doing work that agents should handle
  • You're paying for speed but getting maintenance
THE TRAP

Why Speed Becomes Fragility

How not to build with AI.

Prompt engineering as craft
Intuition does not scale
Cowboy vibecoding
Untransferable, unteachable
Waterfall specification
Blind to discovery
Documentation after the fact
Lies written slower
Single-genius bottlenecks
Failure by certainty
"Just trust me" engineering
Fragile by design
OUR APPROACH

The Five Invariants

Turning exploration into systems, intuition into protocol, and speed into durability.

01

Exploration is permitted — artifacts are mandatory

Experiments are temporary. Decisions are permanent. After exploration, decisions are captured, rationale is stored, outcomes are reproducible.

02

Agents do tasks — Architects define constraints

Humans define the problem; agents explore the solution. Code still ships—but through agentic loops that execute faster and more reliably than manual development.

03

Every output maps to a verifiable artifact

Specs, schemas, tests, interface contracts—these are not byproducts. They are first-class system components and the currency of coordination.

04

Systems evolve — artifacts evolve first

When requirements shift, the architecture changes before the implementation. If code changes without its artifacts changing, that is debt, not progress.

05

Knowledge must outlive individuals

A system dependent on a single mind is not engineered—it is borrowed time. The architecture must survive turnover, ego, memory, error, and absence.

"If it isn't externalized, it isn't architecture—it's memory."

HOW IT WORKS

The Path Forward

From chaos to velocity—step by step.

1
THE GATEWAY 48-Hour Intensive · $2,500

The Deep-Dive

The exam before the cure.

Our agentic system ingests your repository to map dependencies, score technical debt, and deliver a specific roadmap for Phase 2.

2
THE BRIDGE Fixed-Scope Project

The Correction

We don't build on broken foundations.

Based on Deep-Dive findings, we execute a targeted project to prepare your codebase for scale.

Hardening · For prototypes Refactor · For legacy code Docu-Sprint · For tribal knowledge
3
THE CORE Monthly Subscription

The Ansatz Ensemble

We become your agentic development team.

A Principal engineer orchestrates agentic development—defining what ships, reviewing every PR, and delivering production code weekly.

The output of a small team. The cost of a single senior hire. Real velocity, not consulting slides.

4
THE GRADUATION Project-Based

The Install

Bring the capability in-house.

We transfer the Ansatz methodology to your team—environment setup, CI/CD integration, and training.

Every day you wait, you're moving at yesterday's speed.

Ready to ship 10x faster?

48 hours from now, you'll know exactly how to get there.
