How a SKIOS squad works.
Small team. Weekly shipping. Embedded with your ops.
The squad
Four people. One shared accountability.
On regulated engagements, a Compliance Reviewer joins as a fifth member to validate controls, audit trails, and data handling.
Engineering Lead
Owns architecture, review gates, release readiness, and delivery velocity. The person accountable for what ships.
AI Builder
Designs the agents, copilots, prompts, evaluations, and guardrails. The craft specialist for agentic work.
ERP Specialist
Deep in your ERP's extension model and API surface. Knows where bodies are buried.
Delivery Lead
Runs cadence, embeds with your ops team, keeps the squad aligned with the business. Your point of contact.
The weekly cadence
Ship every week. Demo every week. Review every week.
A SKIOS squad runs a four-beat rhythm. Predictable, frequent, and visible to your ops team.

Engagement shape
Discovery → Pilot → Managed.
Every engagement starts with a 2-week discovery. Most move to a 6-week pilot. Most pilots convert to a rolling managed engagement.

How embedding works
Your team, extended. Not your vendor, imposed.
Working agreements
Scope, decision rights, escalation paths, and IP ownership — established day one. No ambiguity.
Access & tooling
Your ERP sandbox, staging environment, and CI pipeline. The squad works in your systems, not alongside them.
Security onboarding
Credential vaulting, MFA enrollment, data handling protocols. Aligned to your compliance framework from kickoff.
Communication rhythm
Dedicated Slack or Teams channel, async updates, weekly written status. Always reachable, never in the way.

How squads handle your data
Every SKIOS squad operates under the same security baseline: GDPR-compliant data handling, ISO 27001-aligned processes, EU data residency guarantees, and a secure SDLC that includes threat modelling, dependency scanning, and code review gates on every commit.
On regulated engagements — financial services, healthcare, public sector — a Compliance Reviewer joins the squad to validate controls, audit trails, and data classification against your specific regulatory framework. We don't bolt compliance on at the end; it's built into the weekly cadence.
