Clarical Human in the loop.

Ship exactly what you intended.

AI builds fast. Clarical keeps your team on one honest spec, with human checkpoints before work ships.

The tests pass. The demo looks great. Nobody notices the spec has been quietly rewritten until weeks later.

You hand it a brief that’s 90% there. It fills the rest with reasonable guesses. Green CI, happy stakeholders, wrong product underneath. We call that spec rot: the spec drifts one confident assumption at a time, and your client or your board only sees it when it’s already live. Not weak models. A missing sign-off at the moments that matter.

Everyone says go faster, automate more, trust the agent. If you’re under pressure to keep pace, that message lands. We think the cheaper win is fewer rework cycles: one clear spec, a human sign-off before the build runs away, long before delivery slips.

Four-stage workflow: you set intent, plan the spec together, build runs with tests, you sign off before anything ships.
You sign off at the gate. The build runs in between.
Check once at the gate. Ship once with confidence. Keep the spec true to what you agreed. Stay in charge of what gets built.
“I built Clarical to add governed checkpoints to the build, honest spec, automated checks, human sign-off at the gate, so AI drift is caught before it compounds.”
Alan Hemmings · Founder

Clarical was built by a solo founder to survive something much bigger, using the exact method these engagements teach, and what we ship between them. The same discipline scales to a critical feature, a client delivery, or an engineering team that needs delivery back on one spec.

How we start

We work with one team at a time on these engagements: full attention, not a cohort. Between engagements we build Clarical itself. Bring a live project; we’ll agree how deep to go on a short fit call.

  • SME engineering CTO, Head of Engineering, or lead brings us in; AI in play, specs drifting, release slipping.
  • Lean specialist team Hand-picked experts on one build that has to land.
  • Small studio Client work where shipping the wrong thing is reputational damage.

Drift check

~1 week · across your current build

£2k

from

Repo and spec review, a drift map, and a 90-minute readout before you commit more budget or timeline.

Leadership wants clarity before going further

Embedded build

~4-6 weeks · one critical slice

£15k

from

We’re in the repo on the critical slice: client work or internal product. Build it with you, hand you the method, exit.

Studio, product team, or specialist crew: “build this with us”

Factory line

~6-12 weeks · full pipeline, whole team

£25k

from

We embed across the full pipeline with your team on intent, spec, build, and gate for a live release. Checkpoints hold, momentum returns, you keep the line running after we exit.

Engineering leadership: whole team, whole pipeline

Bring someone who can sign off decisions. You’ll know whether it’s worth continuing before any starter ends.

Built for teams who can’t afford a wrong ship.
