## How LumenHarbor works

1. Scope. The problem, the use case, and what "working" means are defined before
   anything gets built.
2. Build. Bespoke software, integrations, or AI workflows on reliable foundations.
3. Control. A human signs off before anything reaches your customers.
4. Run. Ongoing accountability: monitoring, fixes, improvements, and straight answers.

## Services

- Bespoke applications. Web applications built around your users, workflows and
  commercial goals.
- AI tools and agent workflows. AI-enabled tools built around a defined business
  outcome, with human oversight.
- Automation and integrations. Connecting systems and replacing repetitive manual
  work with maintainable workflows.
- Internal operations tools. Turning spreadsheets and disconnected processes into
  structured internal software.
- SaaS product development. Validating, scoping and shipping SaaS products.
- Technical consulting. Independent guidance on product scope, architecture,
  delivery, vendors, and where AI does and does not fit.

## Packages

- Tech Lite. £500. Fixed scope. For founders who need fast answers on stack,
  architecture direction, and how to launch or deploy. Includes a 60-minute
