The shared delivery lifecycle: from qualify to close
Author: INFRA editorial · Expert review: Delivery SME review (delivery steering) · published 2026-09-15 · updated 2026-09-15
SPNORTH works in a shared delivery lifecycle: qualify, contract & classify, mobilize, discover, design, build/analysis, evaluate, approve/release, transition/operate, close/QBR. Facts, assumptions and interpretations are separated; every step has defined artifacts and approvals.
Acceptance
Delivery in the agreed repository, review meeting, feedback within 5 business days against objective criteria; INFRA remediation once for scope-conform major defects. Explicit written acceptance takes precedence over silence-based rules.
Transparent costing
Token costs are never hidden: consumption is measured and disclosed at the valid contract price; the relevant effort lies in knowledge preparation, permissions, ground truth, evaluation and review.
