Rapid assessment
A focused, time-boxed review of a system, codebase, dataset, or Ai opportunity.
- Findings, risks, and priorities
- Costed options and a roadmap
- Executive and technical readouts
How we work
Built for organizations where a missed requirement has real consequences. Delivery is predictable, auditable, and yours to keep.
01Method
The same six stages on every engagement, whether a two-week assessment or a multi-year program.
Your objectives become a written specification: scope, acceptance criteria, constraints, and the standards you answer to. Nothing is built until it is agreed.
We design the system and record every significant decision, with the options considered and the trade-offs, so your team inherits the reasoning.
Engineers direct Ai agents against the specification in short, reviewed increments. You see working software every week.
Automated tests, security scans, and accessibility audits run on every change, catching defects when they are cheapest to fix.
We deploy into your environment and hand over everything: code, infrastructure definitions, runbooks, and training. No black box, no lock-in.
Optional ongoing support: monitoring, maintenance, enhancements, and on-call engineering under a defined service level.
02Ai governance
Ai is how we shorten timelines without cutting corners. Six commitments govern how we use it, and every statement of work includes them.
A RigSpec engineer reviews and approves every deliverable. Ai drafts; people decide.
When your program requires it, we work entirely within your environments, repositories, and access policies.
We use enterprise model providers under terms that prohibit training on customer data.
Every statement of work describes where and how Ai is used on your program.
Ai-generated work passes the same tests, scans, and reviews as every other change.
Every Ai-assisted change is recorded in version control with the engineer who approved it.
03Quality & security
Not line items on a rate card. This is how every RigSpec system is built, whatever its size.
Code, infrastructure, configuration, and documentation. Every change attributable and reversible.
Automated checks and human review before anything merges.
Requirements written as automated tests wherever possible, run on every change.
Static analysis plus dependency, secret, and container scanning in every pipeline.
Scoped, time-bound access to client systems, protected by multi-factor authentication.
Automated accessibility checks in the pipeline, plus manual keyboard and screen-reader testing.
04Assurance
Security, accessibility, and secure-development practices are specified at the start and evidenced throughout, so your assessors have what they need the day the system ships.
Alignment describes how RigSpec designs, builds, and documents systems to support your obligations. It is not a claim that RigSpec holds a certification, authorization, or attestation under any framework listed.
05Engagement
Clear scope, pricing, and accountability, in contract structures your procurement team already uses.
A focused, time-boxed review of a system, codebase, dataset, or Ai opportunity.
Defined deliverables, acceptance criteria, and price. Best when the requirement is well understood.
A standing RigSpec team embedded in your roadmap, scaled up or down each quarter.
Specialized engineering, data, and Ai capability for prime contractors and systems integrators.
Time-and-materials and labor-hour structures are available where scope is still evolving.
