1labs / Method

A method designed so you won't need us.

Four phases. Each one puts something in your team's hands.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Problem assessment and target architecture.

    We listen to the business, review processes, data and systems, and agree on which problem we'll solve and what the outcome looks like.

  2. 02

    Build together

    AI-powered development with your team inside the project.

    Your team works with us from day one. We build in short releases and decide together.

  3. 03

    Transfer

    Training, documentation, code and governance handed over.

    We hand over everything needed to operate: code, documentation, governance rules and hands-on training.

  4. 04

    Support

    Tapering support until you operate on your own.

    We gradually reduce our support. We're done when your team runs it on its own.

1labs / The full flow

A flow that iterates, not an assembly line.

The four phases are organized in two diamonds: first we open up to understand the problem and close with a clear definition; then we open again to explore solutions and close by validating with real users. When the evidence calls for it, we iterate: we go back, adjust and keep moving. At the center, a measurable result; at the end, impact.

1labs / How we think

Three ways of working, combined in every project.

We don't apply a framework for its own sake. We take what's useful from each approach to move fast, with people at the center and decisions based on evidence.

01

Agile

Move forward in short, visible cycles.

  • — Releases every few weeks, with something you can test.
  • — Clear priorities in a backlog shared with your team.
  • — Reviews and retrospectives to adjust course in time.
  • — Your team joins the ceremonies and learns the rhythm.
02

Design thinking

Understand people before building.

  • — Interviews and observation with real users.
  • — Define the problem well before thinking about the solution.
  • — Quick prototypes to validate ideas without overspending.
  • — User testing at every stage, not just at the end.
03

Startup thinking

Learn fast, with little, and with data.

  • — Start with a minimal version that solves the essentials.
  • — State hypotheses and measure whether they hold.
  • — Decide with data: continue, adjust or stop in time.
  • — Think product, not just project: what we build should keep growing.

1labs / What a work cycle looks like

What a work cycle looks like

  1. 01

    Discover

    Interviews, data and business context.

  2. 02

    Define

    Problem, hypothesis and success metric.

  3. 03

    Prototype

    A quick version to test the idea.

  4. 04

    Build

    AI-powered development in short releases.

  5. 05

    Measure

    Real results with real users.

  6. 06

    Learn

    We adjust and repeat with your team.

1labs / Security by design

AI-built software with world-class security.

AI makes building software faster than ever. Security has to move at the same pace: it's one of our pillars and it's built into every line of code, not bolted on at the end.

What we see today

  • Teams building their own apps through vibe coding and shipping them without checking permissions, exposed data or keys left in the code.
  • Vendors using AI to develop, but without the policies, procedures or controls to do it securely.

How we do it

  • 01

    Secure by design

    We model threats and define permissions, roles and data handling before writing code.

  • 02

    Review of generated code

    All AI-generated code goes through human review, automated analysis and testing before it reaches production.

  • 03

    Protected data and secrets

    Per-user access control, encryption, keys kept out of the code and least privilege for every service.

  • 04

    Recognized best practices

    We work with references such as OWASP for web applications and for large language model applications.

  • 05

    AI usage policies

    Clear rules on what data can go to a model, which tools are allowed and who approves.

  • 06

    Capability in your team

    We leave procedures, checklists and training so your team keeps building securely.

1labs / What you get at the end

What you get at the end

  • Documented assessment and target architecture.
  • The working solution, with its source code.
  • Technical and user documentation.
  • Governance rules for data and AI.
  • Security review, policies and procedures for developing securely with AI.
  • A team trained to maintain and evolve the solution.

We work with AI models from several providers and choose the one that solves your problem.

1labs / Adoption

Implementation isn't enough: you have to win adoption.

No organization adopts a technology all at once. The innovation adoption curve makes it clear: enthusiasts come first, and between them and the majority there's a leap —the chasm— where many AI initiatives stall. That's why adoption is designed from day one: pilots with reference users, visible success stories, role-based training and tapering support until the solution is part of daily work.

The chasmInnovatorsEarlyadoptersEarlymajorityLatemajorityLaggards
  1. Innovators

    People who try AI out of their own curiosity. They are your allies for the first pilots.

  2. Early adopters

    Leaders who see the opportunity before others. With them we prove the first success story.

  3. Early majority

    They join when they see concrete results. This is where adoption is won or lost.

  4. Late majority

    They need the solution to be stable, simple and part of their daily routine.

  5. Laggards

    The last to change. They need close support, not more emails.
