outcomes.
Real engagements. Specific results. The numbers are real. The outcomes are what occurred.
Three engagements. Three operating contexts. One delivery standard.
The cases below were selected for breadth — a Series B SaaS modernization, a pre-Series A engineering rescue, and a regional government Velaurum deployment. Each demonstrates a different commercial context with the same operational discipline. Additional engagements available under non-disclosure on request.
Stalled AWS migration completed in 90 days after 14 months of failed attempts
The engineering organization had attempted AWS migration three times over 14 months. Each attempt stalled — scope overrun, unclear ownership, and a growing inventory of half-migrated services introducing more instability than the legacy environment it was designed to replace.
$400K in sunk costs. Engineering confidence at a low point. A board that had effectively ceased to believe the program would complete.
Aedifex conducted a current-state assessment. The root cause was identified within two weeks: no unified view of what assets existed, what depended on what, and who owned what. Velaurum was deployed as the operational foundation. A phased migration plan with hard milestones and explicit rollback criteria replaced the open-ended roadmap. Migration completed in 11 weeks.
Engineering organization stabilized and product delivered on schedule ahead of investor milestone
Two weeks before a critical investor demonstration, the engineering director resigned. Eight engineers remained, operating without delivery structure, with a product six weeks behind schedule and a $2M Series A contingent on the outcome.
Technical leadership gap. No delivery framework. Engineering managed ad hoc, with no operating model and no clear ownership.
Aedifex was engaged to install a governed operating model. Sprint cadence was restructured, ownership was established, and Velaurum was deployed to surface all in-flight work and dependencies in a single view. The team delivered the demonstration build on schedule.
Seven disconnected asset systems unified — compliance reporting reduced from 3 weeks to 4 hours
A regional government agency responsible for $80M in public assets managed them across seven disconnected systems — legacy ITSM tools, spreadsheets, and a bespoke contract management database not updated in four years.
Quarterly compliance reporting required 3 weeks and four full-time staff. Two audits had flagged fragmented records as a material governance risk. No real-time view of asset health or contract expiry at the executive level.
Velaurum was deployed across all asset classes with a custom compliance reporting module designed for the agency's specific regulatory requirements. Integration with the existing procurement system completed in week six. Full deployment live in eight weeks.
Specific. Documented. Auditable.
Every Aedifex engagement carries an outcomes framework agreed before execution. Metrics are defined against business impact — not delivery activity.
Velocity & throughput
Engineering velocity post-modernization, deployment frequency, lead time to production, change failure rate. Measured against documented pre-engagement baselines.
Cost & utilization
Infrastructure and operational cost reductions, license utilization, contract renewal opportunities. Measured in dollars, not percentages.
Time-to-decision
Compliance reporting cycles, audit preparation time, executive reporting cadence. Measured in elapsed time against the pre-engagement baseline.
Capability transfer
The capability the client team holds at handoff that it did not hold at engagement start. Measured by independent operation of the platform without external dependency.
How federal-scale engagements unfold under the methodology.
Illustrative engagement patterns — anonymous and methodology-applied. Each represents a class of engagement Aedifex is scoped and structured to deliver. Reference patterns demonstrate the application of the firm's methodology to engagements that match its sectoral and operational fit.
Federal Department — Critical Infrastructure Migration
A federal department migrates a mission-critical workload from legacy on-premises infrastructure to a cloud environment that satisfies CCCS Medium and ITSG-33 control sets. Migration must occur without service disruption and must produce auditable compliance posture from cutover forward.
Six-week fixed-scope Current-State Assessment establishes the architectural and risk baseline. Phased migration plan with rollback criteria at each milestone. Velaurum deployed for asset visibility and compliance posture monitoring. Quarterly governance reviews aligned to Treasury Board reporting requirements.
Provincial Authority — AI-Augmented Operations
A provincial authority adopts AI capabilities across operations — predictive demand modelling, anomaly detection in compliance reporting, and AI-augmented case triage. The deployment must satisfy provincial privacy frameworks and produce explainable, auditable decision logic.
Use-case prioritization against business impact and risk tolerance. Data platform architecture under provincial privacy framework. Model evaluation and drift detection installed before operational use. Responsible-AI governance framework established with executive sponsor sign-off.
Crown Corporation — Unified Asset Intelligence at Scale
A federal Crown corporation unifies asset visibility across infrastructure, contracts, personnel, and operational equipment. The deployment must satisfy ATIP audit requirements and reduce quarterly reporting cycle time without disrupting in-flight compliance work.
Velaurum deployed across asset classes with custom compliance reporting module. Integration with existing procurement and asset management systems. Phased rollout against the funding cycle. Audit trail architecture installed at deployment, not retrospectively.
