01 — Scope
Discovery sprint
We spend time understanding the brief, technical context, and constraints. Agents pre-analyse any existing codebase. Humans sign off the spec before a line is written.

What we build
Eight specialisms.
One lean team.
From greenfield MVPs to rescuing broken projects — we cover the full spectrum of custom software development.
How it works
The Qorym
method
02 — Build
Agent-led delivery
AI agents handle architecture, code generation, testing, and CI/CD setup. Our human engineers review every PR, set quality gates, and intervene where agents need direction.
03 — Ship
Human-certified output
Every deliverable is test-covered, manually reviewed, and compliance-checked before it leaves our hands. No AI output ships without human sign-off.
The Pareto model
80% AI. 20% human.
100% accountable.
80/20
The Pareto rule
AI agents
Human oversight
80% — AI Agents
Architecture generation, code writing, unit test creation, integration testing, CI/CD pipeline setup, documentation, and routine refactoring. Agents run 24/7, never tire, never miss a pull request.
20% — Human engineers
Spec validation, PR review, edge-case resolution, security decisions, client communication, compliance sign-off, and the final quality gate before every release. The quorum — the minimum needed for things to be done right.
Every release is wrapped in automated tests and a manual compliance overview before it ships. No exceptions.
Partners
A careful network
of people we work with.
Specialists we trust to deliver alongside us when a project calls for their expertise.
Common questions
Honest answers to
the questions you would ask.
What does "AI-native development agency" actually mean in practice?
AI agents — large language models with code-execution and tool-use capabilities — handle the bulk of code generation, test writing, refactoring, documentation, and CI/CD setup. A human engineer reviews every pull request, owns architecture decisions, and signs off on every release. The split is roughly 80% agent, 20% human — hence the name ("quorum" is the minimum needed for a decision to count).
For you, the visible result is lower cost and faster delivery, with senior-level review on every commit.
How is this different from hiring a freelancer or a traditional agency?
A freelancer is one person with one schedule — their availability is your bottleneck. A traditional agency has a 10–30 person team where most of your money goes to overhead, project managers, and junior developers. Qorym sits between: senior engineering judgement from a small core team, with the throughput of a much larger team because AI agents do the repetitive work in parallel.
The trade-off: you do not get a 5-person account team, and we will not take on projects that do not suit the model.
Is AI-generated code actually production-safe?
Only when reviewed, tested, and signed off by a human — which is exactly what our process enforces. Every change goes through automated tests (unit, integration, security scans) and human pull-request review before merge. Nothing reaches production without a person checking it.
If you have ever rejected a junior developer's PR for not making sense, you understand the work AI agents do: write code, our engineers catch mistakes before they ship.
Who owns the IP and the code we pay for?
You do. Full IP transfer on project completion is standard. You receive the codebase, documentation, infrastructure configuration, and access credentials. No vendor lock-in. We retain the right to mention the engagement publicly only if you explicitly agree.
How quickly can a project actually start?
From first email to discovery call: 1 business day. From signed brief to first commit: typically 3–7 business days, depending on scope complexity. Every engagement starts with a paid discovery sprint so both sides have clarity before committing to delivery — we do not run quote-and-pray contracts.
What does "80% cheaper" really mean for my project?
It is the cost difference relative to a typical UK or US development agency for the same scope. The driver is structural: we do not carry the headcount of a traditional agency, and AI agents do at machine cost what would otherwise take hundreds of senior-engineer hours at £80–£150 per hour.
For a project a London agency might quote at £100K, we typically deliver in the £15K–£25K range. We do not claim it is free or magical — just structurally cheaper.
