Agentic Engineering Assessment

Engineering assessment + commerce automation opportunity map.

Fixed fee, agreed before we start · typically 1–2 weeks · code-level, not questionnaire-level

An agentic engineering assessment is a fixed-scope, code-level review that determines how ready your commerce engineering is for AI agents — where they can safely work, what blocks them, and what to build first. We inspect how you actually build and run commerce software — repository, workflow, CI/CD, constraints — and hand you a concrete, prioritized plan for introducing agents safely. You keep everything we produce, whatever you decide next.

One assessment. Two answers.

A · Deep assessment

How can agents improve how you build software?

The core of the engagement. We work through your actual estate:

repository structure and architecture
engineering rules and coding standards
CI/CD and deployment process
test suites and coverage reality
security constraints and data boundaries
current developer workflow — including any AI tooling already in use
where agents fit: feature development, testing, PR review, upgrades, refactoring, documentation, defect investigation, release preparation
the private agentic workflow design that fits your controls — model provider, approval rules, permission boundaries
B · Opportunity map, included

Where can agents improve how your commerce operation runs?

A survey-level scan across:

catalogue and product enrichment
search and product discovery
content and merchandising
customer service
orders, ERP and operational interactions

You get a prioritized opportunity map with feasibility and expected value per item. Deep design of any operational agent is a follow-on engagement — we identify and rank the opportunities; we don't smuggle three agent builds into a fixed-fee assessment.

What do you receive?

01
Agentic Engineering Scorecard
Where your engineering stands today, scored across workflow, testing, CI/CD, security and agent-readiness.
02
Workflow & architecture proposal
The private agentic workflow designed for your repositories, standards and approval rules, with diagrams your security team can review.
03
Prioritized backlog
Concrete agent-assisted improvements, ordered by value and feasibility.
04
Security & governance model
What agents may read, what they may change, how every action is gated and logged.
05
90-day implementation plan
Sequenced, with effort estimates and decision points.
06
Commerce automation opportunity map
The ranked operational-agent opportunities from part B.
Process

How does the assessment run?

Typically 1–2 weeks. Complex estates extend days 3–8, not the structure.

Days 1–2Access & context
Read-only repository access, CI configuration, architecture documentation, and 2–3 short interviews with the people who actually ship (lead developer, whoever owns releases, whoever owns the roadmap).
Days 3–8Inspection
We read the code, trace the workflow from ticket to production, run the analysis, and design the agentic workflow against your real constraints — not a reference architecture pasted onto your logo.
Days 9–10Delivery
Written deliverables plus a working session to walk through the scorecard, the backlog and the 90-day plan with your team. Questions answered until there aren't any.
Access

What access looks like.

Written to be forwarded to your security team as-is.

Read-only
Repository read access, CI configuration visibility, architecture docs. No production access, no customer data, no credentials beyond scoped read tokens you issue and revoke.
Your perimeter
Analysis happens against code you share under NDA. Nothing is uploaded to third-party tools outside the boundaries we agree in writing.
Your people, briefly
2–3 interviews of ~45 minutes. We're assessing the workflow, not auditing individuals.
Your model policy respected
If your organisation restricts model providers (Bedrock-only, EU-hosted, no external APIs), the assessment and the proposed workflow operate within that restriction — that constraint is an input to the design, not a blocker.

A good fit if:

You run a production commerce system — Magento / Adobe Commerce, Shopify, Odoo, or custom — with a real codebase and a team (in-house or agency) shipping to it.
You suspect agents could compress your delivery cycle or your operational load, but you need an engineering answer, not a vendor pitch.
Your constraints are real: compliance, approval chains, restricted model access. That's our home ground, not an obstacle.

Not a fit if:

There's no codebase yet — we assess engineering, we don't replace a platform-selection project.
You want a free strategy conversation. The thinking is the product; it's fixed-fee and it's paid.
You're looking for someone to promise a 10× productivity number before examining anything. We measure; we don't recite.
Pricing

Fixed fee. Agreed before we start.

Every assessment runs on one fixed fee, quoted after a short scoping call and agreed before anything is signed. A straightforward engagement — one platform, one or a few repositories, one team — scopes quickly. Multi-repository estates, multiple systems (commerce + ERP/OMS/PIM), or multiple teams extend the scope, not the model: still one number, known up front. Never hourly, never open-ended.

In scope: everything in the assessment and the opportunity map above. Out of scope (by design): implementation of the workflow, and deep design or build of operational agents. Both are follow-on engagements — most naturally the Embedded Agentic Engineer.

Three ways it ends. All of them fine.

01
Your team implements the plan.
The deliverables are written to be executed without us — no dependency built in.
02
We implement it with you.
An Embedded Agentic Engineer works inside your team, ships the roadmap, and establishes workflows your team keeps. → How embedded engagements work
03
You do nothing yet.
The scorecard, backlog and roadmap are yours. When the timing is right, you start from an engineering plan instead of a blank page.

Frequently asked questions

No. Read-only repository and CI access plus architecture documentation. The assessment deliberately requires nothing that would concern your security team — the access section above is written to be forwarded to them.

No. Analysis runs under NDA within agreed boundaries, and any model usage follows your provider policy — including fully private options (AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, or your own gateway). Model and data-boundary choices are documented in the governance deliverable.

Usually more relevant. Editor assistants accelerate individuals; the assessment addresses the system around them — tests, review, CI gates, permissions, measurement. That's where the compounding gains and the real risks both live. Your current tooling is an input, not a competitor.

Yes. The deepest platform expertise is Magento / Adobe Commerce, which is why the public proof is Magento-heavy — but the assessment operates on repositories, pipelines and workflows, which every platform has. Shopify, Odoo and custom stacks are in scope.

Yes. That's the default posture, not an exception — the workflow we design runs in your infrastructure with your model provider.

Because it's the product, not a sales call. Two weeks of senior engineering attention on your actual codebase, ending in deliverables you keep. Free assessments are lead magnets; this is an engagement.

Two weeks from now, you have an engineering answer.

Fixed fee, agreed before we start. Code-level. Inside your constraints. Yours to keep.
