Residency
Two ScaledNative Certified Practitioners embed with your team for a fixed ninety days, co-ship a production AI feature into your own repository, and credential ten to twenty of your engineers before they leave. It is a delivery engagement, not a slide deck — priced on shipped pull requests, billed against milestones you can stop.
Residency at a glance
Reported industry-wide: most enterprises deploying AI still cannot show the board what it built. If your program is one of them, this engagement exists for that problem.

How it's different
Every row is a behavior, not a brand claim. Compare it to whoever is on your engineering floor right now.
Typical consulting engagement
ScaledNative Residency
Bills for slideware days.
Bills for shipped pull requests.
Generic methodology delivered in your boardroom.
Methodology co-shipped in your actual repository.
Rotating consultants and junior shadow-delivery.
A named, accountable practitioner on camera every paid hour.
Outcomes measured in deliverables.
Outcomes measured in merged commits and a capability heatmap.
A master-services-agreement ordeal.
A fixed-scope statement of work, signed in days.
IP protections buried in Schedule G.
IP protections in plain English, on a five-year NDA.
What you get
Nothing lives on a consultant's laptop. When the ninety days close, the work — and the proof of it — stays in your estate.
Merged pull requests in your repository
Production-quality, documented, and tested. Reviewed by your engineers and shipped under your existing change-management process. The artifacts live in your codebase, not on a consultant's laptop.
A per-engineer capability assessment
Seven competency domains, scored against the artifacts shipped during the engagement. One document your head of engineering can act on — not a sentiment survey.
Ten to twenty engineers credentialed as SNCP-A
Independently verifiable, with every credential mapped back to the artifacts that earned it — so the claim survives a reference check.
A next-ninety-days readiness plan
Written for your stack, your repository, and your team topology. A concrete roadmap the team can execute without us — not a generic transformation deck.
Anonymized cohort feedback, actionable
Every participating engineer rates the engagement. The anonymized output feeds our recertification program — never your HR file, and never attributed back to individuals.
Who this is for
If procurement signed a seven-figure AI agreement and you can't point the board to what it built, that's the problem this engagement was designed to close.
Not L&D. Not the CHRO. The residency is engineered for the engineering budget holder who has to answer a return-on-AI question at the next quarterly review.
Start a conversationHow the methodology shows up
A sixty-percent floor on hands-on lab time. A fifteen-percent ceiling on slideware. Every module ends with a commit your engineer can show their manager. The full framework is published openly — read it before you sign anything.
Read the methodologyHow practitioners are vetted
No paper credentials. Every domain gate requires a shipped artifact, reviewed by a panel. The blueprint is shared during procurement, so clients, candidates, and auditors can challenge it on the merits.
Procurement FAQ
It stays on your infrastructure. Every practitioner signs a five-year NDA before they see a line of your code. Your source, prompts, evaluations, and data never leave your environment, and are never used to train external models or enrich any other engagement we run.
Practitioners work inside your environment, under your change-management, access, and review controls — not ours. We help teams ship inside regulated contexts across healthcare, financial services, and the public sector, and we follow your standards for authentication, data handling, and audit logging. We do not claim external certifications we do not hold; we operate inside yours.
A five-stage assessment, including a live enterprise simulation and a mock delivery — two gates with no direct analog in AWS, HashiCorp, or CNCF certifications. Every domain gate requires a shipped artifact, reviewed by a panel, and the full blueprint is shared during procurement so clients, candidates, and auditors can challenge it on the merits.
Yes. Extension statements of work are milestone-billed with the same kill-switch structure — if a milestone slips, you stop paying. There is no long-tail retainer dressed up as an extension.
You stop it. The statement of work includes a thirty-day checkpoint with a written go / no-go; either side can exit if the work isn't tracking. The alternative — a year-long agreement with a cancellation clause buried in Schedule G — is exactly the problem this engagement was built to avoid.
They ship code in your repository. That is the one-line answer. The longer one is the same operating standard we hand your engineers on day one.
A founder reads every inquiry. If the fit looks right, the next step is a thirty-minute call with the practitioner who would lead your residency — not a sales development rep. Expect a reply within two business days.
We use what you send only to respond. No marketing sequences. A five-year NDA is available on request.
