Agentic Development Framework
The AI & Software Development practice's master methodology — built from twenty years of SaaS delivery and proven on the studio's own platforms. Every AI build follows the same disciplined arc: evidence before architecture, security before autonomy, measurement throughout.
Agentic Development Framework is a proprietary framework from Educated Guess Ventures. The master methodology for AI-native engineering: evidence-first scoping → architecture → secure build → evaluation harness → staged autonomy → measurement.

- What it does
- The master methodology for AI-native engineering: evidence-first scoping → architecture → secure build → evaluation harness → staged autonomy → measurement.
- The EGV Framework Library — every framework our practices run on.
- Portfolio and results — where the frameworks were applied with our own capital on the line.
- How we work: the six-stage engagement process — how a framework becomes an engagement.
- Onshore vs Offshore Software Development: True Total Cost of Ownership
When evaluating onshore vs offshore software development total cost of ownership, the nominal hourly rate gap of 40–70% — offshore mid-to-senior engineers billing $25–$65/hr against $100–$200/hr for equivalent US-based roles — rarely survives contact with the full cost picture.
- AI Coding Productivity Studies Show a 75-Point Gap in Outcomes
ai coding productivity studies produce sharply conflicting results depending on experimental design, and understanding those differences is essential before drawing conclusions.
