Selective scoped work
A defined intervention for a clear business problem.
Products are central to LOATY Forge. Tightly bounded software or automation work is considered selectively, when the problem, owner, outcome and endpoint are clear.
In plain words
- What is it?
- A custom piece of software or automation for one specific, well-defined problem.
- Why care?
- Sometimes no product fits, and a bounded piece of work is the sensible answer.
- How it works
- Enquiry, fit assessment, scope, delivery, completion. Nothing is committed until scope and terms are agreed.
- What it doesn’t do
- It isn’t open-ended development, staff augmentation, an outsourced IT department, or an indefinite retainer.
- What next?
- Check the fit below, then discuss scoped work.
Check the fit
Four things need a clear answer.
These are the conditions LOATY Forge publishes for a possible fit. Mark each one honestly. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Boundary
Forge is not an open-ended software-development agency.
No commercial commitment exists until scope, responsibilities, expected outcome and terms are agreed.
Not the model
- Open-ended software development
- Staff augmentation or an outsourced IT department
- Indefinite consulting retainers
- Broad transformation programmes
- Projects whose core problem or ownership is unclear
A bounded route
- 01Enquiry
- 02Fit assessment
- 03Scope
- 04Delivery
- 05Completion
A focused engagement may solve a specific problem or contribute useful learning to Forge’s products. It doesn’t turn every request into a product.
