Step 3 of 5

Build

We implement the approved design in small, testable increments.

We build working slices with a defined purpose, tests, review criteria, and a recovery path instead of attempting one large unverified release.

What we examine

  • Production-oriented application development
  • Secure configuration and environment separation
  • Data validation, permissions, and auditability
  • AI prompts, tools, rules, and escalation behavior
  • Automated tests and repeatable builds
  • Operational and maintenance documentation

Questions we answer

  • Does this slice solve its intended requirement?
  • Are permissions and tenant boundaries enforced?
  • Can invalid input cause unsafe behavior?
  • Does the system fail honestly?
  • Can the change be tested and reversed?
  • Has a person reviewed consequential behavior?

What this stage produces

  • Working and reviewable feature slices
  • Automated tests and validation evidence
  • Configuration and deployment documentation
  • Logging and error-handling behavior
  • Appropriate security and permission controls
  • Updated acceptance records and known limitations

Where people stay involved

People validate real-world behavior and approve progression to the next stage.

A practical example

For an AI receptionist, we may first build call intake and message capture, verify that it never invents an appointment, and then add scheduling requests.
