What is Cian-OS?
Cian-OS™ is Ciancoders’ engineering system. It defines how people and AI agents turn business problems into software that is verifiable, maintainable and operable. It is organized into five systems — Intent, Foundation, Build, Verify and Operate — with cross-cutting controls for security, quality, cost and AI governance.
Do I need to know what to build before talking to Ciancoders?
No. If it isn’t clear yet, we start with an AI Opportunity Assessment: we review your processes, data and systems, rank the opportunities by impact, effort, risk and feasibility, and recommend a first step. We also tell you where AI isn’t the answer.
How is AI transformation different from software development?
Transformation decides what should exist: which process to change, on what evidence and in what order. Development — Product Engineering — builds, verifies and ships what was decided. We do both, so the recommendation comes from people who can then build it and run it.
How is pricing set?
We work on a fixed investment against a defined scope. Because AI accelerates execution, pricing comes in at least 20% below our own equivalent traditional delivery model. If we misjudge the effort for the agreed scope, the overrun is on us.
Can you work on an app built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Bubble?
Yes. We start with a Software Readiness Assessment to understand how solid the foundation is, then recommend whether to stabilize, rebuild parts of it, or keep building.
Do I own the code?
Yes. Code and documentation live in your repository from day one.
Do you work in English and in US hours?
Yes. We work in English or Spanish, on schedules compatible with the US and Canada.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes — before we see any of your code or business data.
