Approach

Audit first. Ship in weeks. Compound from there.

An engagement is a system, not a series of invoices. This page shows the three stages, the stack they sit on, how the path compares with the usual ones, and what an ordinary week inside one looks like.

The engagement, as a system

Three stages, one brief at the centre.

An audit on the inner ring, build and lead in the middle, compounding on the outside. Everything orbits the same brief, which is why the second engagement is faster than the first. Click a body to see what each stage leaves behind.

From scattered to accountable

Most AI projects die between the demo and the deploy. Oryares owns the gap.

A pilot gets built by a freelancer, a vendor pitches a platform, an agency redesigns the site, and nobody owns whether the thing works for real users. One technical lead changes that.

TEAMHiring brief and code review cadence

One lead, every stage.

The usual paths

Three familiar routes. Each leaves the same gap.

They all work for a while. None of them owns production.

A freelancer and a prototype

Fast to a demo. Nobody is there when it breaks with real users and real data.

A full-time CTO, too early

The right hire at the wrong time. Expensive before there is a team to lead.

An agency or a platform vendor

Great at their product. Blind to your stack, your data and what happens after launch.

A different path

One accountable technical lead, part-time, who also ships.

Oryares audits what you have, sets the roadmap, builds the first version, and stays on as your technical advisor while you grow into a full-time team.

How we work

Audit first. Ship in weeks. Compound from there.

Audit

One to two weeks inside your codebase, infrastructure and delivery process. Output: ranked risks and a 90-day plan.

Build and lead

Part-time technical leadership inside your team, or a scoped sprint that ships the first AI feature or internal tool end to end.

Compound

Evals, monitoring and documentation mean every engagement extends the last one instead of starting over.

What you get first

The audit report, page one.

Every engagement starts with this document. Not a slide deck: a ranked list of what will break first, what it costs to fix, and what to do in the next ninety days.

Illustrative. This is the structure of a real report; the findings below are examples, not a client's.

Technical audit

Ranked findings and 90-day plan

Rank	Finding	Risk	Cost to fix	When
01	Production database has no tested restore. Backups exist; nobody has restored one.	Critical	2 days	Week 1
02	LLM feature has no evaluation set. Prompt changes ship untested.	High	4 days	Weeks 1 to 2
03	Secrets committed to the repository history; keys still live.	High	1 day	Week 1
04	One engineer holds every deploy. No runbook, no second person.	Medium	3 days	Weeks 3 to 4
05	No-code tool at its row limit; exports silently truncate.	Medium	Scoped separately	Month 2

90-day plan

Weeks 1 to 2Restore drill, rotate keys, write the first eval set.
Weeks 3 to 6Deploy runbook, second deployer, monitoring on the model feature.
Weeks 7 to 12Decide build, buy or wait on the no-code replacement, with a budget.

Sample

Inside a week

A week inside an engagement.

Part-time does not mean occasional. This is what a typical week looks like at ten hours.

MondayPlanning, 60 minutesThe week's priorities against the roadmap. What ships, what waits, what is blocked.
TuesdayBuild blockThree to four hours of heads-down work on the current feature or the audit findings.
WednesdayCode review and decisionsPull requests reviewed with written reasoning. Vendor and architecture questions answered in writing so they survive.
ThursdayBuild blockFinishing, testing, and getting the week's work into staging.
