We begin engagements with one of our four proven processes, refined over 20 years in business. As we progress, we optimise & adapt our approach to you & the needs of your business.
What type of project do you have?
It always begins with a phone call. We'll have a high level discussion about your project, key outcomes, time frames and special requirements. We can also guide you on which process best suits your needs.

In just three hours we'll work with you to define the key elements of your requirements, including:
Outcome
We've gathered the information needed to design
the optimal
solution for your business.
Software requirements are best defined using a range of approaches, typically visual, written and technical. So, immediately following the workshop we'll create:
Outcome
You'll receive both visual and written project
requirements
documents and a high level estimate for
consideration.
With your approval we begin! Importantly, you’ll assign a key member of staff as the client representative to answer questions and review work as the software is being created.
Our kick off process includes:
We’re so confident you’ll love working with Alliance that we’re proud to offer an industry leading guarantee.
Guarantee
We promise to deliver
the first
phase
of your project on
time at a fixed price. It’ll be a pleasure to
use, secure,
bug
free &
look great.
If not, just tear up the contract and give the code back for a full refund.
We recommend you consider allowing us to work with you to validate that the system being built will be loved (or at least liked) by your users.
This process doesn’t need to be taxing. Just by taking a small group of likely users through the proposed system we can often identify simple adjustments now that avoid significant problems later.
Every two to three weeks new software is built for your review. Here’s how the process works:
Your new software is delivered and you can enjoy the benefits of a software solution tailored to your needs. Key aspects of our delivery process:
We work to deliver the first phase of your project quickly. You can enjoy the benefits of the platform and, with the software live, we gain important feedback to guide any further development.
We make it safe to share your ideas with us by supplying a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that protects your IP up front.
A high level discussion about your concept including, project details, timeframes and rollout plans.
Did you know… in addition to working with many startup clients, we’ve also built & funded two tech startups of our own? Web2TV was taken to seven figure trade sale, and Noble Samurai has served over 100,000 paying customers. We’d love to share our knowledge and experience to help you succeed on your startup journey too.

In just three hours we’ll work with you to define and prioritise the key components of your startup platform including:
Outcome
We have the information to estimate your project and
you’ll have a deeper understanding of the technical
components of your platform.
PLUS:Get a copy of our
favourite startup book "Running Lean".
We
followed this as we built our startups!
Software requirements are best defined using a range of techniques. Immediately following the workshop we’ll create:
Outcome
You’ll receive both visual and written project
requirement documents and an estimate for
consideration.
Over 90% of startups fail, but we’ve proven (twice!) that you can beat the odds.
Despite our successes, we’ve also experienced the pain and cost of startup failure and we’re passionate about helping startups like you succeed.
We have a range of powerful market validation techniques that are quick, simple and generally low cost.
We can’t guarantee your success, but we can dramatically improve your chances.
Outcome
Every client we’ve worked with to validate their
market has made significant modifications to their
project plan (before development, when change is
cheap!).
With an experienced, scalable team and a rich library of pre-built software components, we’ll get you into the market quickly. Nothing creates momentum like your first paying customer!
Let’s create a Minimum Viable Lovable Product (MVP)
In addition to a rapid technical execution, we’re happy to openly share the strategies we’ve used to recruit thousands of affiliates and over 100,000 paying customers.
Following launch we’ll work closely with you to design & deliver the features and enhancements most important for success.
A high level discussion about your business, the current state of your existing platform and the enhancements you’d like to make.

A senior engineer will spend 3 hours reviewing your existing code and software architecture.
We’ll confirm we’re comfortable to take over development and note any immediate issues (e.g. security flaws).
The best way for us to truly understand your platform is to add features or fix bugs. We’ll work with you to select some fixes or enhancements, ideally from different parts of the platform. We’ll then implement these over a one to two week period giving you further feedback on the state of the platform as we go.
* Typically 3 - 10K - Confirmed after code review and discussion of updates.
With a deeper understanding of your platform we can take over support and deliver the extensions your business needs. If you’re part way through a project, we’ll agree on a plan for delivery.
We use an agile approach when enhancing existing software. Clients often come to us frustrated by a stalled project and are soon delighted to see new features being shipped every two to three weeks.
A high level discussion about your Machine Learning project, key outcomes, timeframes and special requirements.

The key to successfully training a Machine Learning model is having sufficient data to work with. Thankfully, recent advances in pre-trained models have dramatically reduced the volume of data required in many cases.
A project analyst and data scientist will meet with you to discuss your project and review existing data. We also confirm your success criteria, e.g. the required accuracy of the prediction software.
Outcome
We’ll
confirm you have sufficient data, define your
success criteria and provide a cost estimate.
Many clients need help collating & cleaning their data before use. Our data scientists have many years experience in “data wrangling” and will work with you and your team to prepare an appropriate training data set.
Outcome
A
clean set of training data ready for Machine
Learning
In standard programming we’re certain of the outcome in advance. However, with many Machine Learning projects, we can only be sure it’s possible to train a successful model after we’ve done it.
Fortunately, the process of trialling a number of modeling approaches can be done quickly.
Outcome
Confirmation that a successful model can be created
based on your data.
With a successful model in place, we now confidently undertake the bulk of the work in the project. Key activities include:
With an experienced, scalable team and a rich library of pre-built software components, we’ll get you into the market quickly. Nothing creates momentum like your first paying customer!
