How the pod works

Three engineers working as one delivery unit.

The three engineers share the scope, acceptance evidence and review record.

Proposal fields

Six fields that make the engagement inspectable.

Scope

The workstream, exclusions, repository boundary and acceptance evidence.

Assigned engineers

Each person, their relevant experience, role and responsibilities.

Working arrangement

Overlap hours, review cadence and attendees, acceptance evidence and escalation path.

Continuity

Planned absence cover, replacement process and client approval for substitutions.

Handover

Code and configuration, review record, acceptance evidence, operating notes, open risks and the client owner after handover.

Commercial terms

Start date, initial term, monthly fee, invoicing terms and notice period.

Research and releases

External evidence informs the method.

We use published software-engineering research to shape how we test, review and deliver code. We also track official releases and advisories for technologies in scope.

The source type, finding, practical implication and limitation are recorded on the research page.

Client inputs

Decisions the client retains.

For each assigned engineer, the proposal records implementation decisions they may make and decisions reserved for the client.

Approvals

Who approves the proposal.

The proposal records the Anystack approver, client approver, version and date.

Engagement options

From delivery history to an engagement.

Review selected work or start a scoping conversation. The proposal records the scope, assigned people, responsibilities, review points and handover.
