Lancelot is a full lifecycle practice. We discover what your systems actually do, build governed replacements using frontier model APIs, validate parity before cutover, and maintain the delivered system indefinitely with a federated fleet of autonomous agents. The platform governs every phase. You own everything at the end.
Start a Discovery Engagement →Enterprises pay millions annually for SaaS platforms they use a fraction of. The business logic that matters lives in undocumented workflows, tribal knowledge, and UI behavior that no vendor migration tool captures. UAB discovers the complete behavioral specification of your legacy system autonomously, without source code access, without vendor cooperation, without documentation that may not match what's running in production. This is the highest-value engagement path.
Highest valueYou want to automate a workflow that currently runs on human effort, spreadsheets, and email. There is no legacy application to crawl, but there is existing process to document and validate. We work alongside your team to capture what exists, validate it against how the workflow actually runs, and produce a governed behavioral specification that becomes the build target.
Collaborative discoveryYou know what you want built, or you already have a running system and need governed maintenance. You enter at Phase 2 or Phase 4 directly. Lower initial engagement, same recurring revenue endpoint.
Any entry pointEach phase produces a governed, receipted deliverable. Each phase is valuable as a standalone engagement. Every client who completes the lifecycle becomes a perpetual maintenance relationship.
UAB connects to the legacy application through its six-method fallback cascade. Governed agents systematically navigate every workflow path, documenting every state transition, form field, conditional behavior, and business rule encoded in the UI layer. For greenfield engagements, Lancelot consultants conduct structured interviews with process owners and validate the captured specification against how the workflow actually runs.
The behavioral specification from Phase 1 feeds directly into the build process as the target. Any frontier model API serves as the build engine. Claude, GPT, Gemini, or others appropriate to the task. Lancelot is model-agnostic. The right model is selected for the right task. The replacement covers your actual verified usage, not the full feature surface of the legacy platform. You own the code outright.
UAB runs identical workflows on both the legacy application and the replacement, comparing outputs screen by screen, field by field. Automated regression testing against actual production behavior, not against specifications that may have drifted. Parallel run continues until parity is validated across all critical workflow paths. Cutover occurs only after UAB diff validation confirms behavioral equivalence.
The client licenses Lancelot. A federated fleet of governed agents handles ongoing maintenance of the delivered application. Each agent has a Soul scoped to its specific domain. No agent can touch what its Soul does not authorize. Every action is receipted. The receipt chain is continuous SOC 2 evidence.
No consulting firm can produce this level of documentation for human-delivered work. Every decision made during discovery, build, implementation, and maintenance is receipted. Cryptographic evidence of every action, available for audit at any time.
The consulting framework and the software were built simultaneously. They are not separable. Fifteen years of enterprise deployment expertise is encoded in the architecture. You cannot replicate it by reading a paper or hiring engineers away.
Switching off governed maintenance means hiring and retaining your own development team. The economics make that unlikely. Every engagement ends at Phase 4. Every Phase 4 client is a permanent recurring revenue relationship that compounds over time.
The discovery engagement is the lowest commitment entry point. Priced as a fixed project. Valuable as a standalone deliverable even if you stop there. For legacy modernization clients: a complete behavioral map of your system with SOC 2 evidence of how it was created. For greenfield clients: a governed process specification that can feed any build environment.
