A clear path from evidence to productionThe implementation method

Map. Prove. Harden. Ship.

Define the value before writing code. Prove the workflow in a sandbox, build security in from day one and give your team clear ownership. Prove and Harden overlap.

90 days is a planning horizon. Scope, data access and evidence shape the pace. If the value is not there, stop before committing to a build.

Delivery window12 weeks
  1. Map

    Weeks 1–2

    Pick one use case, map secure data flow and define how to measure its value. Stop early if it is not worth building.

  2. Prove

    Weeks 3–6

    Test a focused prototype on approved company data in a secure sandbox. Compare it with the baseline.

  3. Harden

    Weeks 5–8

    Build access controls, personal information redaction, logging and human review before real users.

  4. Ship

    Weeks 8–12

    Roll out to users, train the internal owner and monitor quality, changing model behavior and cost.

Your first move

A Trial Sprint scorecard for your use case.

Assess business impact, technical feasibility, data readiness and governance burden. Get a Go or No-Go recommendation with the evidence still needed and a two-week diagnostic plan.

The generated scorecard is a starting assessment. Anova can work through the Trial Sprint with you to gather evidence before a build decision. If a use case does not make financial sense, the right outcome is a documented decision not to build.

Allen Lee
Founder-led delivery

Senior technical ownership, not another layer of handoff.

The work is judgment: what to build, in what order, and which technical decisions become expensive to reverse. Architecture, AI governance, interoperability, hiring, and the delivery systems that make a team effective.

At Anova Technology you work directly with a senior engineer who has made these calls under real regulatory constraints — someone who translates a business constraint into a technical plan, says plainly what each tradeoff costs, and owns the result rather than routing it through layers of handoff.

Allen Lee

Founder and Principal Engineer

Anova is led by Allen Lee — ~15 years in regulated healthcare and life-sciences software, including Director of Engineering at Adaptive Innovations (healthcare operations), eight years at Medidata Solutions on clinical-trial systems, and regulated medical-device software at LinusBio — with cross-industry range at Google and EA.

Engagement model

Start with a concrete sprint, not an open-ended retainer.

The usual entry point is a 2-week fixed-fee sprint: Architecture & Sequencing Sprint. It gives you a prioritized technical and compliance sequence before any larger Fractional Head of Engineering commitment.

FAQS

Questions buyers usually ask before starting.

Answer eight questions about your role, team, workflow, tools, AI attempts, timeline and budget, then one or two focused follow-ups. Get a personal 90-day roadmap with actions and a weekly plan, build a Trial Sprint scorecard and ask questions about your plan. The builder is free and stays on this page.

The generated Trial Sprint scorecard is a provisional assessment of value, feasibility, data readiness and governance, with a two-week plan to validate the evidence. It can recommend No-Go. The Trial Sprint gathers evidence before a build decision. The 90 days are a planning horizon, shaped by scope, data access, capacity and security requirements.

It is executive engineering leadership on a fractional basis — the judgment, architecture, AI governance, hiring, and delivery systems a team would get from a Head of Engineering or CTO, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Anova owns the important technical decisions and the systems that make a team effective, not a fixed list of tasks.

Anova is an engineering-leadership firm, so the work is judgment, architecture, governance, and delivery systems first. We go hands-on where it has the most leverage — proving out an architecture, setting patterns, or unblocking a critical path — but the engagement is not sold as build hours or headcount.

By the decisions and systems that multiply a team rather than the hours logged. The right architecture choice, a governed AI rollout, a hire that raises the bar, or a delivery system that removes recurring friction is worth far more than any single feature. Leverage over effort is the operating principle.

Yes — regulated and healthcare teams are the core focus. Anova treats PHI boundaries, provenance, auditability, and human-in-the-loop review as design inputs, especially when adopting AI inside regulated workflows. Please do not send PHI or patient details through the contact form; we will set up an appropriate channel during the engagement.

The Architecture & Sequencing Sprint is a fixed fee for two weeks. The Fractional Head of Engineering retainer is monthly, with reserved hours and a three-month minimum. Technical Due Diligence is scoped per engagement, and Regulated AI Engineering & Governance is delivered inside a retainer rather than priced separately. Figures are shared in a fit review, once the scope is clear enough for the number to mean something.

Most engagements start with the sprint. It is a standalone engagement rather than a deposit, so the fee is not credited against a later retainer — you leave with a roadmap you own whether or not we continue.

Anova works with a small number of teams at a time so each gets real executive attention. We are deliberate about conflicts and will flag any concern before an engagement begins. The fit review is where we confirm there is no conflict and that the capacity is there to do the work well.

Anova’s AI implementation work is built for founders and technical leaders whose teams cannot ship fast enough, and business owners who want AI without the technical burden. For ongoing engineering leadership, Anova works with founder-led software teams, with its deepest focus in healthcare and regulated markets where architecture, compliance, interoperability, and AI governance need careful judgment.

You share the business context, the technical situation, and what is at stake. In 30 minutes, Anova gives you a clear read on the top architecture and compliance risks, confirms fit and conflicts, then recommends the right next step.

When there is fit, that next step is usually a 2-week fixed-fee sprint: Architecture & Sequencing Sprint. When there is not, you still leave with an honest recommendation.
