Phased Delivery Model. Fixed Scope, Defined Deliverables
Every LYFYE engagement follows a structured phased delivery model with defined durations, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. From discovery to handoff, we provide transparency, accountability, and evidence packs that support audit readiness.
Engagement Phases
Our standard engagement model follows four phases, with durations and deliverables tailored to your scope.
- Threat model with abuse cases and mitigations
- Data flow diagrams with sensitivity classification
- Control boundary definitions
- Architecture diagrams and control design
- Risk register with scoring and ownership
- Statement of Work (SOW) with fixed scope
- Working system with security controls
- Immutable telemetry and audit logging
- Runbooks for operations and incident response
- Safety evaluation suite with test results
- Evidence pack for compliance frameworks
- Knowledge transfer and training sessions
Typical Engagement Duration
Most engagements span 8 to 16 weeks from discovery to handoff. Larger programs (FedRAMP Moderate/High authorizations, enterprise wide Zero Trust implementations) may run 6 to 12 months with phased delivery.
Timeline is determined during the Design & Planning phase and captured in the Statement of Work (SOW) with phase gates and milestones.

Every engagement begins with a fixed scope SOW that defines:
- Deliverables with acceptance criteria

- Pod composition with named specialists and roles
