7UNIT / SERVICES

6 LIVE SYSTEMS · 3 FOUNDER-LED · ENGAGEMENTS FROM 2 WEEKS

Engineering that holds.From first decision to final handoff.

We don't pitch services. We solve problems — then build the system that keeps solving them after we're gone.

7UNIT / HOW WE WORK

Before you read what we build, understand how we build it. The model is the differentiator.

Engagement model

01

We start with discovery, not a quote

We spend the first week understanding your domain before writing a line of code. You get a domain map, a data flow diagram, a risk register, and a decision log. If we find something that changes the scope or the cost, we tell you before the build starts — not during it.

Duration: 1–2 weeks. Fixed cost. Fixed scope.
02

We build in two-week loops

Scope locked at sprint start. Senior engineers on every meaningful piece of work. Working software delivered at the end of every sprint — not a progress update, not a Figma file. Technical debt goes in the backlog with a remediation plan. It is never hidden.

Cadence: 2-week sprints. Milestone-based pricing.
03

We hand off, we don't disappear

Before close, the system goes through a hardening phase: load testing, error observability, runbook documentation, and structured knowledge transfer. We stay on call for the first two weeks post-launch. After that, your team owns a system they can actually operate.

Handoff: runbooks, observability dashboard, post-launch support window.
Core service

Full product engineering —scratch to production.

You have an idea, a problem, or a half-built system that needs rescuing. We take it from discovery to deployment — product thinking, system architecture, frontend, backend, integrations, and a clean handoff your team can operate. No disappearing after launch.

This is not a time-and-materials arrangement where you manage the engineers. We own the outcome. Senior engineers from the first sprint to the last deploy.

Our previous developer took the source code with him when he disappeared. We came to 7Unit in that situation. What they delivered wasn't just a redesign — it was a complete rethink. This time we own everything.

WHAT THIS COVERS

Discovery and system architectureDomain mapping, data model, service boundaries, integration points, and risk surface — before a line of code. Every decision documented.

Frontend and backend engineeringReact, Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker. Production-grade from sprint one — not retrofitted before launch.

AI integration by designNot bolted on. LLM features, agents, and automation designed into the architecture from day one.

CI/CD, deployment, and handoffShipped, monitored, documented, and handed over with runbooks. Your team gets a system they can operate.

Post-launch accountabilityTwo-week post-launch support window included. We don't consider an engagement closed until the system is stable in production.

7UNIT / AGENTOPS

Custom agent systems for teams that need execution, not experiments.

AgentOps is how we design, deploy, and operate AI agents across your toolchain — from engineering delivery to sales operations and internal reporting. Every implementation includes human approval paths, security boundaries, and visibility your leadership can trust.

This is not another chatbot. It is workflow-connected agents with governance.

Engineering AgentOps

Requirement capture, planning, implementation support, PR review assistance, QA scenarios, delivery tracking, and manager summaries — wired to GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and your tracker of choice.

Product & GTM

Feedback synthesis, PRD drafts, roadmap alignment checks, release notes, and analytics summaries — grounded in your docs and tooling.

Sales & support

Lead research, call briefs, pipeline hygiene, ticket classification, SLA risk signals, and structured handoffs to engineering.

Operations & leadership

Cross-system reporting, executive summaries, blocker follow-ups, and operational dashboards — without another manual copy-paste cycle.

Production governance, by default

  • Human approval workflows where it matters
  • Role-based access and least-privilege design
  • Auditability of agent actions and outputs
  • Cost and usage visibility — budgets and guardrails
  • Observability: monitoring, alerts, and recovery paths

We run AgentOps internally through 7Unit COO before we recommend patterns to clients.

7UNIT / SPECIALISATIONS

Every specialisation below is built on the same foundation — senior-led, architecture-first, documented. The difference is the domain expertise and the specific problem each one solves.

Specialised services

01
FOR CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAMS

7Unit AgentOps

Custom AI agents wired to the tools you already use — engineering, product, sales, support, and operations — with approvals, audit logs, and observability treated as first-class requirements. This is the coordination layer between Slack, GitHub, Jira, Notion, CRMs, and internal systems.

We run this internally through 7Unit COO before we recommend operating patterns to clients. We know where agent systems fail under real org complexity.

7Unit COO — internal coordination, delivery visibility, and operational memory across our senior remote team. The same architecture extends to client engagements.

FOR UAE AND GCC BUSINESSES

WhatsApp-native product engineering

Complete business systems that run through WhatsApp — not a bot, not a basic auto-reply. Full CRM pipelines, AI-powered lead qualification, booking flows, field dispatch, and sales pipeline management. WhatsApp as a product surface with serious engineering underneath.

Your customers are already on WhatsApp. Every time you ask them to switch to a portal or an app, you lose them. We build the system that meets them where they already are.

340+ daily conversations handled without agent involvement. AED 85,000 deals recovered from silence by AI-triggered follow-up.

FOR FOUNDERS AND SCALE-UPS

Fractional CTO and technical co-founder

We step in as your technical co-founder or fractional CTO — owning architecture governance, vendor evaluation, team structure, investor due diligence prep, and delivery accountability. Available as equity engagements for early-stage or retainer for established companies. This is not consulting. We own decisions and are accountable for outcomes.

Currently serving as technical co-founder for an entertainment booking platform in UAE — architecture, team structure, and 45-day MVP delivery.

FOR COMPANIES ADOPTING AI PLATFORMS

AI platform implementation and customisation

You have chosen an AI platform — or you are evaluating one. We implement, customise, and integrate it into your specific workflows, team structure, and existing systems. Knowledge bases trained on your actual data. Approval chains mapped to how your team operates. Staff trained and live — typically within 45 days of kickoff. We know the internals, not just the documentation.

FOR OPERATIONS-HEAVY ENTERPRISES

Document intelligence and enterprise operations

Contracts, compliance filings, procurement documents, field job sheets — operational paperwork that currently requires people to read and route it. We build classification, extraction, and workflow systems that handle it automatically. Human review triggered only when the model flags an exception.

80+ documents per batch. Unusual clause language detected before human review. SLA breach rate: 34% to 3%.

7UNIT / WHO WE WORK BEST WITH

AI has changed what's buildable, how fast, and at what cost. We use it ourselves — every sprint. But it has also created a new failure mode: systems that look finished and break under real conditions. This section is honest about when we add value and when we genuinely don't.

Who we work best with

We work best with teams that:

  • The problem has real stakes.Real money moving, real data at risk, real people depending on it. When the system fails, something actually breaks — not just a demo.
  • You've already tried the faster path.You used Cursor, a no-code tool, or a cheaper team — and either hit a ceiling, shipped something that doesn't hold, or realised the early architecture decisions are now expensive to undo.
  • The system needs to be operated, not just launched.Multi-tenant isolation, audit trails, RBAC, observability. The requirements that appear after the first client asks 'how do you handle our data?'
  • You need someone who owns the outcome.Not a team you manage. Not a vendor who delivers and disappears. An engineering partner who is accountable if it breaks — and who stays until it doesn't.
  • Speed matters but correctness matters more.You need to ship fast — but the version of fast you actually want is one that doesn't require a full rewrite in six months.
  • You're building in fintech, AI systems, WhatsApp-native operations, EdTech, or enterprise workflow automation.Industries where we have delivered production systems that are still running.

Contexts where another model may fit better:

  • Your problem is genuinely simple.If a Claude Code session or a no-code tool can solve it cleanly and you don't need multi-tenancy, RBAC, or production-grade observability — use that. We will tell you this honestly in the first call.
  • You need to validate an idea, not build a system.For early validation, a prototype built with AI tooling is better than an engineered solution. Come back when you've validated and need to build it properly.
  • You need capacity inside your existing team structure.If you have your own engineering leadership and sprint process and need developers to plug into it — that's staff augmentation, and there are firms that do it very well. Our model is different: we own the architecture and delivery outcome end to end. If you need to direct the engineering yourself, we're not the right fit — but we can point you toward firms that are.
  • You need a 20-person team from day one.We are deliberately small and take 2–3 engagements simultaneously. This is a feature for clients who fit our model — and the wrong answer for those who don't.
  • You need compliance ownership.PCI-DSS certification, RBI regulatory sign-off, or full legal compliance responsibility. We build to compliance requirements defined by your counsel. We do not hold these certifications as an organisation.
  • You need it done in two weeks for under $3,000.We can't help you there and we won't pretend otherwise. At that scope and budget, AI tools are genuinely the right answer — and we'd rather tell you that than take the engagement.
7UNIT / SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE

Fintech prospects always ask these questions. We answer them here so you can evaluate before the first call.

Security and compliance

GDPR-aware buildsISO 27001-aligned practicesSOC 2-ready audit trails

MULTI-TENANT DATA ISOLATION

Row-level security enforced at the PostgreSQL layer with tenant_id on every table. RBAC validated at API middleware before any data access. Zero shared connection pools. Separate encryption keys per tenant. Cross-tenant access is architecturally impossible — not just restricted by policy.

AUDIT TRAILS

Append-only event log on all state-changing operations. Every record: actor ID, action type, entity affected, before and after state, timestamp, tenant_id, and request correlation ID. Non-deletable by design. Queryable per tenant for compliance reporting.

RBAC IMPLEMENTATION

Roles and permissions enforced at both database and API layers. Middleware validates permission scope before any resolver executes. Tenant administrators configure hierarchies within their own boundary only — cross-tenant role access is architecturally impossible.

COMPLIANCE CONTEXT

We have built for EU fintech clients under PSD2-adjacent requirements. We build the technical implementation to compliance requirements defined by your regulatory counsel. We do not hold PCI-DSS or RBI certifications — we are transparent about this and recommend specialists for payment card processing.

Bring us a production constraint — we will tell you if we are the right team.

7UNIT / START HERE

Bring us the problem.We'll tell you honestly if we can solve it.

  • You're building something that cannot afford to fail quietly.
  • You want engineering leadership from day one, not after things break.
  • You'd rather pay more once than pay twice.

No pitch. No deck. We listen to your problem, then tell you honestly whether we are the right fit — even if the answer is no.
