Each project in the OUTCOMER LIMITED portfolio receives a grade reference documenting the transformation from rough input to structural-ready output. Below are representative ready-stack yards showing the grading methodology applied across API Development and Integration, Systems Integration Services, Cloud Computing Solutions, and Enterprise Software disciplines.
Yard A — Enterprise Integration Cluster
Prime Board: Unified API Gateway
- Rough stock
- Fourteen disconnected legacy systems with duplicate authentication layers, inconsistent error handling, and no centralised rate limiting across a financial services platform.
- Cut method
- Unified REST gateway with OAuth2 grain alignment, circuit breaker pattern implementation, and standardised response envelope across all downstream services.
- Structural ready
- Single entry point serving 2.4 million daily requests with 99.97% uptime, sub-120ms p95 latency, and full audit trail compliance.
- Grade reference
- PRT-A2-001 — GRADE A2 STRUCTURAL READY
Microservice Decomposition
- Rough stock
- Monolithic application with 340,000 lines of coupled business logic.
- Cut method
- Domain-driven decomposition with event-driven API boundaries and async messaging grain alignment.
- Structural ready
- Twelve independent services with independent deployment cycles and 60% reduction in deployment risk.
- Grade reference
- PRT-B1-002
Yard B — Cloud Migration Stack
Hybrid Cloud Bridge
- Rough stock
- On-premises ERP with nightly batch exports to three separate cloud analytics platforms.
- Cut method
- Hybrid API layer with real-time event streaming and incremental sync grain paths.
- Structural ready
- Sub-minute data freshness across all platforms with zero batch window downtime.
- Grade reference
- PRT-C1-003
Full Cloud Migration
- Rough stock
- Physical server room hosting twelve applications with manual deployment processes and no containerisation.
- Cut method
- AWS ECS containerisation, API Gateway fronting, RDS migration with blue-green cutover sequencing.
- Structural ready
- All twelve applications running on managed infrastructure with automated CI/CD and 40% cost reduction.
- Grade reference
- PRT-C2-004 — GRADE A1
Data Pipeline Grade
- Rough stock
- Manual CSV exports feeding a legacy reporting dashboard with 48-hour data lag.
- Cut method
- Streaming API pipeline with Apache Kafka grain routing and real-time aggregation endpoints.
- Structural ready
- Live dashboard with sub-second refresh and automated anomaly detection alerts.
- Grade reference
- PRT-D1-005
Yard C — Security and Analytics
Security Hardening Pass
- Rough stock
- Public-facing API with no rate limiting, deprecated TLS configuration, and plaintext credential storage in three integration endpoints.
- Cut method
- OAuth2/JWT implementation, WAF deployment, secrets vault integration, and TLS 1.3 enforcement across all grain paths.
- Structural ready
- Zero critical vulnerabilities in post-grading penetration test. SOC 2 Type II readiness achieved.
- Grade reference
- PRT-E1-006 — GRADE A2
ML Inference API Stack
- Rough stock
- Data science models running in Jupyter notebooks with no production deployment path.
- Cut method
- Containerised inference endpoints with model versioning, A/B testing grain paths, and monitoring dashboards.
- Structural ready
- Three production ML models serving predictions via REST API with automated retraining pipeline.
- Grade reference
- PRT-F1-007
Every project documented in our ready stack yard follows the same grading discipline: receive the rough material, read the architectural grain, mark defects explicitly, cut to specification, dry to acceptable moisture levels, and stack in deployment-ready order. This methodology ensures that our clients receive integration architecture that bears enterprise load without hidden failure points.
OUTCOMER LIMITED maintains strict confidentiality regarding client identities while documenting grading outcomes for prospective clients evaluating our structural readiness capabilities. Contact our London team to discuss how our grading methodology applies to your specific integration challenges.
