engineering foundation · predictability for production systems

Engineering Foundation for systems that run the business.

For companies already in production: we restore operational control, reduce systemic risk, and enable predictable scaling — technically and financially.

We operate where systems stop being ‘just code’ and become critical infrastructure. When it makes sense, we also build tailored solutions and evolve our own SaaS products to automate recurring engineering and operations decisions.

No magic promises: explicit decisions, an executable plan, and execution with operations in mind.

Operational control at scale.

Typical outcomes after establishing explicit foundations, objective metrics, and reliability standards.

−40–70%

recurring incidents

SLOs, explicit limits, idempotency, and timeout/retry standards

2–4×

capacity on critical journeys

backpressure, controlled concurrency, and hot-path bottleneck fixes

−15–30%

operational cost

actionable metrics, systemic efficiency, and autoscaling/caching tuning

Explicit foundations. Documented decisions. Sustainable execution.

Actionable deliverables to reduce risk now and sustain safe evolution — without endless dependency.

System map + decisions (Architecture / RFC / ADR)

Clear view of the current system: boundaries, dependencies, risks, failure points

Documented decisions with trade-offs (RFC/ADR) and impact-driven priorities

Contracts and rules: compatibility, idempotency, SLAs when appropriate

Reliability as an operating practice (SLOs + standards)

SLO/SLI per critical journey + error budgets

Anti-cascade standards: timeouts, retries, limits, controlled degradation

Runbooks/playbooks: faster response, less recurrence, more predictability

Scaling as a system, not a bet (queues, concurrency, consistency)

Protect critical flows with limits, backpressure, and bulkheads

Consistency in product terms: what may be delayed vs what must be correct

Fallbacks/circuit breakers to stay up under real traffic spikes

Observability and cost control (signal over noise)

Metrics, logs, tracing focused on diagnosis (less noise, more answers)

Dashboards that answer: “what broke, why, and where it started”

Efficiency plan: hot paths, caching, capacity, investment priorities

A clear method for systems that cannot fail.

From alignment to execution: we turn unstable environments into predictable, auditable, scalable platforms.

ETAPA 1

1) Core Alignment

We align system, business, and risk. We identify real boundaries, pending decisions, and failure points with operational impact.

ETAPA 2

2) Foundation Plan

We turn context into explicit decisions and an executable plan: boundaries, priorities, and operating standards.

ETAPA 3

3) Execution or Advisory (optional)

Choose the format: focused execution with your team, or technical advisory for critical decisions.

Talk to people who treat systems as business infrastructure.

Core Alignment is the entry point to restore control, reduce systemic risk, and build a foundation ready for decisions at scale.
