AI transformation for software engineering teams

AI coding tools are everywhere. Turning them into faster shipping, better quality and a stronger enterprise value story is the hard part. DevClarity gives your organization a structured path from AI experimentation to AI adoption to measurable impact.

Everything we do drives one of two outcomes: Adoption (raising your whole team's baseline) or Impact (accelerating the work that matters most to the business).

What is an AI-enabled SDLC?

An AI-enabled software development lifecycle is one where AI works across every phase, from planning and design through build, test, review, deploy and maintain, not just as autocomplete in the editor. Our AI-SDLC Maturity Model defines five levels, from fully manual to autonomous, and we score every team against it phase by phase.

The AI Transformation arc

A concentrated first phase sets your baseline, raises the floor across the org, and drives impact in your highest-value work. An ongoing partnership then executes the roadmap, scaled to your size and maturity.

  1. 1

    Assess

    An org-wide survey and leadership discovery, scored into maturity ratings for all seven SDLC phases, plus a baseline of what you measure today. The output is your AI-SDLC Transformation Roadmap: specific milestones per phase that you can prioritize, measure and show your board.

  2. 2

    Train

    We configure your AI tools to work in your codebase, then train the whole engineering org to a common standard, calibrated to where each team actually is. An advanced automation workshop and office hours follow.

  3. 3

    Apply

    Directed Efforts: paired working sessions on your highest-value projects, each aimed at a roadmap milestone. Your team keeps the skills, context and workflows they build. The phase closes with a re-benchmark and a closing report.

  4. 4

    Sustain

    Embedded AI Transformation: ongoing Directed Efforts, team-wide workshops, office hours, a co-owned roadmap, and regular re-benchmarking against your original baseline.

Ways to work with us

AI Transformation

Most teams start here Levels 0/1 → 4

The full arc above: Assess, Train and Apply, followed by Embedded AI Transformation.

AI Coding Level-Up

Levels 0/1 → 3

The Assess, Train and Apply phases on their own, for teams that want to establish a standard, measurable approach to AI coding fast. Available for engineering, QA, product, and implementation and services teams.

Embedded AI Transformation

Level 3 → 4

An ongoing partnership for teams already using AI day to day, to keep climbing the maturity curve.

Dark Factory

Level 3 → 4

For teams ready for autonomy: an autonomous pipeline that moves qualifying work from ticket to merge without a developer driving each step. Your team governs policy and handles the exceptions.

Private equity portfolios

Standardize AI-assisted coding across portfolio companies and benchmark maturity at the fund level. AI enablement for PE portfolios →

Beyond engineering

The same Assess, Train, Apply, Sustain model works in any function. Run it as its own engagement, or add it to an engineering engagement.

QA and testing

Automation coverage across unit, integration and end-to-end testing, so quality keeps pace as engineering accelerates.

Product

Research, prioritization, specs and prototyping, for sharper calls on what to build.

Implementations and services

Repeatable configuration, data mapping and go-live workflows, for faster time to revenue.

How we measure progress

Every engagement is measured against the AI-SDLC Metrics Framework: adoption metrics as leading indicators, impact metrics as lagging ones. You see where you started, where you are, and what moved.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

Technical teams from 10 to 1,000 people, often PE-backed, that have AI coding tools but haven't yet turned them into consistent, measurable results.

Which AI coding tools do you work with?

The ones your team already uses, including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Codex. We focus on how the team works with the tools, not on selling a tool.

How long until we see results?

Teams typically see measurable change within the first engagement phase. Our case studies show results like a 31% lift in weekly output in one month and 90%+ AI adoption.

How much does it cost?

Scope and investment depend on team size and where you start. We confirm both during a discovery call.

Is AI Coding Level-Up the same as the AI Coding Jumpstart?

Yes. AI Coding Level-Up was previously called the AI Coding Jumpstart.

Do you only work with engineering?

No. The same model applies to QA, product, and implementation and services teams.
