First engagement
Take one product area through the complete Loft loop.
A first Loft engagement focuses on one consequential capability, workflow, service, API surface, or change. It gives the relevant specialists and agents one product contract: a structured specification of the intended behavior, constraints, authority, and acceptance criteria. The engagement then takes an approved version of that contract through coding-agent implementation and an evidence check to a human acceptance decision.
Situations worth discussing.
- AI-assisted work is increasing the amount of change that senior people must interpret and review.
- Product, engineering, and assurance specialists are each adopting agents, but their local loops still meet through manual handoffs and repeated context reconstruction.
- The intended behavior for one area is split across code, tests, tickets, documents, runtime observations, and expert knowledge.
- A new capability needs explicit intent, constraints, decision rights, and acceptance criteria.
- An existing system needs a bounded and supervised surface for agent work.
- A delivery team can produce the implementation, but the customer's acceptance basis is unclear.
Scope the work, run the Loft loop, and hand over the result.
Scope
Choose one capability, workflow, service, API surface, or change with an accountable owner and an outcome that can be accepted or rejected. Map the specialists, agents, artifacts, human gates, and repeated interpretation work across the current path.
Author
Define or recover the intent, requirements, constraints, decisions, acceptance criteria, sources, and known gaps. Inventory relevant code, tests, documents, runtime observations, prior decisions, domain expertise, and conflicts. Existing material is evidence, not automatically accepted truth.
Ratify
Customer-designated people approve the version of the contract that will govern the work, including the authority boundaries and permissions for the selected scope.
Implement
Loft's packaged agent skills give a coding agent the approved contract, repository target, affected requirements, constraints, acceptance criteria, and quality obligations. The agent performs the implementation and testing work.
Reconcile
Reconciliation compares the implementation revision with the same approved version the agent worked from, so the customer judges the result against what it actually approved. Review requirement mappings, test results, measurements, and negative controls where useful. Record what the evidence supports, what failed, what is missing, and what it cannot settle.
Decide
The customer-designated owner reviews the result and evidence, then accepts, rejects, or reopens the work.
Hand over
Deliver the implementation artifacts, product contract, reconciliation output, evidence references, known gaps, and operating instructions named in the statement of work. Export, ownership, licensing, retention, and termination terms are defined in the engagement contract, not implied by this page.
Expected deliverables, subject to the statement of work.
Final deliverables depend on discovery and are confirmed in a written statement of work.
- A scope charter with the selected product area, owner, exclusions, and decision rights.
- A map of the participating roles, specialist-and-agent loops, handoffs, review gates, and sources used in the selected workflow.
- An inventory of relevant sources, conflicts, and known unknowns.
- A customer-ratified Loft product contract and the approved version used for implementation.
- Explicit permissions, review points, and acceptance criteria.
- The agreed implementation or integration result at an identified repository revision.
- A reconciliation output mapping reviewed executable evidence to the relevant requirements and acceptance criteria and preserving failures, gaps, and questions the evidence cannot settle either way.
- A record of known gaps, open decisions, and the agreed procedure for the next change.
Keep responsibilities explicit.
Customer
Supplies domain knowledge, approves data and security boundaries, designates decision makers, ratifies product intent, helps keep the scoped contract current, and makes the final acceptance decision.
Loft
Supplies the structure for the product contract, the workflow for proposing and reviewing changes, packaged agent skills for implementation and reconciliation, the evidence method, and product support for the agreed scope.
Additional delivery support
Loft may work directly or with a delivery organization. For selected engagements, Geomotiv may support discovery, solution engineering, implementation, integration, change enablement, and handover where the customer context and agreed scope fit.
A first engagement is deliberately narrow.
Narrow enough to show the impact of the Loft loop in one area.
- One product area with an outcome you can accept or reject, not a company-wide AI transformation.
- A result tied to a product outcome, not a generic API or MCP wrapper.
- Your product, engineering, and assurance people stay accountable; agents and the contract support their review, not replace it.
Start with a high-level description. We can scope it together.
Tell us which product area or workflow matters, whether the software is new or existing, and what makes review or acceptance difficult. Do not send confidential material at this stage.
