We move your team onto the exponential.
Eigen is a monthly embedded engagement that installs an agentic‑development operating model inside an existing engineering organization. Led by a founder or senior principal of Extreme Scale Solutions.
Your team is probably dabbling with agentic development. It is not ready for prime time. All you have been pitched to date is hype.
Every engineering organization is being asked to articulate an AI strategy. The available answers tend to be tooling licenses, pilot consultancies, or internal initiatives that consume senior engineers and produce ambiguous outcomes. We are none of these. We are an engineering firm that uses agentic development on our own regulated, safety‑critical work, and we install the same operating model inside teams that want it.
Eigen is not a tool, a pilot, or a strategy. It is a finite engineering retrofit.
A team, led by a founder or senior principal, installs the operating model inside your organization.
For six to nine months, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, a team from Extreme Scale Solutions, led by a founder or senior principal, embeds within your engineering organization. We install a complete agentic‑development operating model: ticketing, deterministic entry points, role‑specific agents, automated review gates, and the feedback loops that tie the whole system together. It is tuned to your codebase, your software development lifecycle, and the way your engineering organization actually operates.
This is not a tool drop or a one‑and‑done install. It is organizational change and a new way of working, which is why it runs six to nine months rather than a few weeks. The deliverable is your team operating the model fluently. The tooling is the artifact.
The operating model is what compounds. The tooling is built around your organization, and the code is yours to keep.
Four phases. Mathematical in name, finite in scope.
Engagements organize around four phases. They are not rigid timelines; they describe the shape of the work.
Phase 0
Init
Two weeks. A written assessment of the team, code, and workflow. We identify the three highest‑leverage interventions, align on the terms that define success, and establish the velocity measures that will track the engagement. The initial operating model is installed, and a measurable slice of work begins moving through the new system. Progress is measured.
Phase 1
First Derivative
Velocity. The initial operating model is installed and a thin, measurable slice of work begins moving through it. We instrument that slice and begin tracking velocity, the rate at which real work clears the system.
Phase 2
Second Derivative
Acceleration. The model fans out from that first slice across the full team and feature set, and the team begins authoring its own agents and extensions under principal supervision. We track not just velocity but its rate of increase as the whole organization speeds up.
Phase H
Hessian
Multidimensional expansion. The model spreads beyond engineering, accelerating product management, marketing, operations, and the back office. Your internal software capability becomes one of the company’s most valuable assets because the team can build custom software for the many small internal needs that previously went unmet. Ownership is transferred and the engagement closes.
Our day job is writing software that cannot fail.

A senior principal runs the engagement; the founders advise.
No license. No SaaS. No recurring software relationship. You own the code at the end.
The engagement ends. The capability remains.
At exit, you own the operating model, the runbook, the documentation, the trained team, and the source code. There is no license to renew, no platform to depend on, and no part of the work that requires our continued involvement. The system that runs on the last day of the engagement is yours. The capability to evolve it lives within your team.
What survives the engagement is your team’s ability to keep building.
Request a conversation.
Conversations begin with a 30-minute call with one of the founders. There is no presentation. We will answer your questions. You will form a view on whether this is a good fit. The question is whether your engineering organization can become the internal software capability your company keeps reaching for.
Received. One of the founders will be in touch.
We will not share or sell your information. We will use it only to respond to your message. Your data is yours. See our privacy policy.
What to expect
A 30-minute call with one of the founders. No slides or sales process. We will ask about your team structure, your current AI posture, and what you have tried. You will leave with value.
