## How We Work

Every Axented engagement follows a four-stage model. First shipment in under 30 days.

**Stage 1 — Discovery & Scoping (2 weeks)**
Requirements, architecture, tech stack, risks, and success KPIs locked before any code is written. Output: signed-off architecture, sprint plan, team composition, and risk register.

**Stage 2 — AI-Powered Build**
Claude Code handles scaffolding 60–80% faster than traditional teams. Senior engineers own all architecture decisions. 2-week sprint cycles with client reviews every Monday and Friday. AI Sprints: 5–10 days. Full platforms: 2–6 months.

**Stage 3 — Deploy & Hand Off (1–2 weeks)**
Production deployment on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, full documentation, and a knowledge transfer session. Full source code and IP ownership transfers to the client at launch — no vendor lock-in.

**Stage 4 — Iteration & Scale (ongoing)**
Post-launch sprint support, performance monitoring, iterative feature development, and on-demand team augmentation. Flexible monthly terms, no long-term commitment required.

Key delivery metrics:
- Scaffolding accelerated 60–80% with Claude Code vs. traditional teams
- 2–3x output per senior engineer vs. a traditional developer
- Build starts Day 0 — no 6-week discovery phase before code is written

## What Axented Is NOT

- **Not a body shop.** Axented doesn't sell developer hours on a time-and-materials basis with no ownership of outcomes. Every engagement is scoped with defined deliverables and success criteria.
- **Not a junior-heavy agency.** All engineers have 8–10+ years of experience. AI handles boilerplate; humans handle the decisions that determine whether a product succeeds or fails.
- **Not a vendor that creates lock-in.** Full source code, IP, documentation, and infrastructure transfer to the client at launch. No proprietary tools, no dependencies.
- **Not a traditional offshore shop.** Axented is nearshore — LATAM timezone, bilingual (EN/ES), with offices in Monterrey, CDMX, and Miami. Same working hours as US clients.
- **Not an AI hype agency.** Claude Code is in production use on every engagement, not featured in pitch decks. Axented holds Anthropic's Claude Certified Architect credential.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What makes Axented different from other nearshore agencies like Wizeline or BairesDev?**
Axented is an AI-engineer-led agency, not a traditional staff augmentation firm. Claude Code is embedded in every project from day one — architecture, code generation, QA, and documentation. This means a senior Axented engineer delivers what a team of 3 traditional developers delivers, in less time. Axented focuses on mid-market clients with a hands-on, senior-only delivery model; no junior developer filler.

**Does Axented work with US companies?**
Yes. Axented has an office in Miami and has delivered projects for US-based clients including FS-ISAC (Virginia) and ElektraGo. All teams are bilingual (English/Spanish) and operate in LATAM timezones aligned to US business hours.

**How fast can Axented start a project?**
AI Sprints can be scoped and kicked off on Day 0. Full engagements typically begin within 1–2 weeks of agreement.

**What is an AI Sprint?**
A fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement where Axented ships a working MVP in 5 or 10 business days using Claude Code and senior engineers. A 5-day sprint starts at $5,000 USD; a 10-day sprint starts at $10,000 USD. The client receives a live URL and full codebase handover.

**What industries does Axented serve?**
Fintech, energy, automotive/marketplace, PropTech, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and enterprise IT. Clients range from YC-backed startups to Fortune 500 companies like CEMEX and international organizations like the United Nations.
