Solution design · Due diligence · Custom software

Software has to hold weight, too.

DevKip runs the calculations most teams skip — solution design, technical due diligence, and custom builds — before a single line of code has to carry the business.

The mark is a D and a K sharing one spine — Dev and Kip, reduced to what's load-bearing. Every service DevKip sells is a way of answering the same questions, on repeat — what's the load, what's carrying it, will it hold, and what did we learn for the next size.

Capabilities

Three ways in

Most engagements start with one of these and pull in the other two once the shape of the problem is clear — then run the loop again as each build teaches us more about the load.

01 · The calculation

Solution design

A business problem turned into an architecture that can carry it — diagrams, trade-offs, and a spec sized for what gets built first, not the whole system at once.

02 · The inspection

Technical due diligence

Independent assessment of a codebase, vendor, or acquisition target: what's load-bearing, what's cracked, what it costs to fix.

03 · The build

Custom software

Built in sized increments, by the same team that ran the calculations — each one load-tested against reality before the next gets sized.

What due diligence finds

The gap, in numbers

A due diligence report reads like an inspection, not a pitch — the finding below is illustrative of the format, not a specific engagement.

4.2Kip observed

Measured load capacity of the legacy auth service under peak traffic.

6.0Kip specified

Required capacity per the original design spec — a 30% shortfall.
