AI-assisted engineering

AI-assisted.
Human-owned.

We use AI tools to help explore, draft and check code and documentation. Engineers decide what ships. They review every change, test it against agreed acceptance criteria and stay accountable for the system.

How we use it

Assistance,
not autopilot.

AI is one tool inside an engineering process that already has review, testing and handover. It does not replace that process or the people responsible for it.

01 / Assist

Help with the groundwork

Exploring an unfamiliar codebase, drafting scaffolding, suggesting refactors and proposing test cases. Suggestions are a starting point for an engineer, never a finished change.

02 / Review

A person reviews every change

AI-assisted code goes through the same human review as any other code. An engineer reads it, understands it and can explain why it is correct before it moves on.

03 / Verify

Tested against agreed criteria

Browser testing, automated tests and relevant regression checks apply whoever or whatever wrote the first draft. A change is ready when the evidence says so.

04 / Protect

Sensitive data stays inside the boundary

Credentials, tokens, health information and personal customer data are not shared with tools outside the agreed boundary. Tool use is agreed per engagement.

No productivity percentage, speed multiplier or ROI figure is claimed. The value of any tool is judged by the same evidence as any other engineering change.

Ownership

The engineer stays
accountable.

Whoever drafts a line of code, an engineer owns the result: the design decision, the test evidence and the handover notes that explain how it runs.
