Build an AI-Native Software Development Lifecycle
Work with us on a specific phase or across the full lifecycle. Wherever we start, we first align on priorities, scope and success measures. Each phase combines a documented process, reusable AI skills, connections to your existing tools and clear review requirements.
Planning
Give the team clear, prioritized work to build. We define requirements, acceptance criteria and ownership, using AI to support scoping and documentation while people make the decisions about what matters.
Design
Work through the user experience before it becomes code. We connect AI workflows to your design system, check key journeys and give reviewers clear criteria for approving designs.
Development
Build against agreed requirements and architecture standards. We configure reusable skills within your engineering tools, support implementation and refactoring, and connect code changes to the requirements and reviews behind them.
QA
Verify that software behaves as intended, including its business logic, user flows and security. We build repeatable testing into your workflow, with clear acceptance criteria and human approval before work moves to release.
Deploy
Make release readiness explicit. We connect checks and approvals to your deployment pipeline, define rollback procedures and record what shipped so the team can act quickly when something goes wrong.
Monitor
See how the software holds up in production. We connect monitoring, alerts and incident reporting, assign escalation owners and trace issues back to releases so findings inform the next round of work.
Know Whether AI Is Improving Delivery
We measure AI leverage, quality, stability, speed and business value across the lifecycle. Reviewing these together
shows whether faster development is helping customers or creating more work elsewhere.
AI Leverage
See where teams use AI, which tasks it handles well and whether reusable skills reduce effort or create more rework.
Quality & Stability
Track review effectiveness, defects and rework alongside failed releases, incidents and recovery time. Identify where the process needs attention.
Speed
Measure how long work takes in each phase, including time spent waiting for requirements, review, testing and release.
Business Value
Follow what happens after delivery. Track feature adoption, customer feedback and whether the work contributes to the business goals that justified it.
Built in Your Repo, Connected to Your Tools
Nothing is a black box. The frameworks, skills, integration configurations and governance we build stay in your repo. Your team can inspect them, understand how they work and maintain them as the product changes.

Broadlume’s Technological Transformation — 15% Lower Development Costs, $600K in Savings
Broadlume, the world’s largest provider of digital technology to the flooring industry, needed to accelerate R&D across multiple legacy platforms and frameworks without the overhead of growing headcount. York IE provided a hybrid onshore/offshore team — U.S.-based product strategist plus India-based full-stack developers — that embedded directly into Broadlume’s sprints. York IE also executed a critical migration of 1,700 customers to a new platform in a single month when the timeline looked impossible.

Start With the Phase That Needs the Most Help
You can start with QA or another immediate need, then expand across the lifecycle. We begin by agreeing on what needs to change and how we’ll measure progress. Our U.S. and India teams bring hands-on experience in architecture, technical debt, MVP development and integrations.
Plan and Scope
Find where work is getting stuck and agree on what needs to change. We define the scope, owners and acceptance criteria, then establish a baseline for measuring progress.
- Clear priorities from the start
- Agreed scope and deliverables
- Defined owners and success measures
Build and Implement
Start with a fixed-scope engagement, such as establishing automated QA checks and release approval criteria over approximately six weeks. We build the process, skills and integrations in your repo and validate them against agreed requirements.
- Fixed scope and agreed timeline
- Deliverables maintained in your repo
- Testing and human signoff
Maintain and Expand
Our ongoing AI Ops support keeps your AI workflows, skills and integrations working as your product changes. We review performance with your team and extend the work into additional phases when needed.
- Workflow and skill maintenance
- Regular review of phase-level metrics
- Support for additional phases
