One unit. Three disciplines.
Every Auxiliary Digital team spans Gather, Build, and Validate — drawn from an extensive bench of specialists and shaped to your problem. Small enough to move fast, complete enough to own the outcome end to end.
Gather
Frame the problem before any code
Gather owns the truth the team builds against: the business problem, the requirements, the experience, and the plan. When this discipline does its job, the defects other teams find in QA never get created.
- Solution Architect
- AI & Data Architect
- Business Analyst
- Product Owner
- Product Manager
- Project Manager / Scrum Lead
- UX Designer
- Service Designer
- UI / Visual Designer
Build
Working software against gathered truth
Build turns gathered truth into production-grade software. Engineering seats are filled from a specialized bench — we don't pretend every engineer is interchangeable — and performance engineering sits inside the build, not after it.
- AI Engineer — LLMs, agents, RAG
- Data Scientist / ML Engineer
- MLOps Engineer
- Data Engineer
- Backend Engineer
- Frontend Engineer
- Full-Stack Engineer
- Mobile Engineer
- Cloud / DevOps Engineer
- Integration Engineer
- Performance Engineer
Validate
Prove it works before users see it
Validate runs alongside Build from day one: verification and validation against the gathered requirements, performance verified under real conditions, and quality signals that reach the whole team immediately.
- QA Automation Engineer / SDET
- Verification & Validation Engineer
- Performance Verification Engineer
- Security & Penetration Tester
- Accessibility & Compliance Tester
- Quality Analyst — manual & exploratory
Not every seat is full-time. Roles go fractional or rotate with the phase of work — the bench is deep so the team stays lean.
Accountability
A senior architect leads every engagement — setting direction in Gather, holding the guardrails through Build, and signing off with Validate.
Every other seat flexes with the work. That one doesn't.
How we actually tailor teams
- 01
Context first
Your tech stack and architecture, your constraints — regulation, data sensitivity, security patterns — and where your internal team is strong or thin.
- 02
Define the work type
AI pilot, platform extension, workflow automation, full greenfield build, or legacy modernization with AI augmentation.
- 03
Weight the disciplines
Every team has all three disciplines — the mix shifts. Integration-heavy work adds Build muscle. Regulated domains add Validate. Fuzzy mandates start Gather-heavy.
- 04
Adjust over time
Discovery leans on Gather. Mid-engagement shifts to Build. Rollout leans on Validate. The kickoff team is not frozen.
The team you see at kickoff is not frozen — it's managed like a living system, re-weighted across Gather, Build, and Validate as the work moves through phases.
