Our proprietary and third-party tools equip our consultants to uncover inefficiencies and guide software teams toward delivering robust, reliable, and maintainable systems. Additionally, Technical Wealth University provides essential training to upskill your technical teams, ensuring they are prepared to create and maintain high-consequence applications with engineering and testing rigor.
Our Approach: 90-Day Comprehensive Assessment for High-Consequence Applications
​
Edensoft Labs begins each consulting engagement with a 90-day comprehensive assessment, specifically designed to optimize your Product Management, Product Design, and Software Development Lifecycle processes. This thorough analysis identifies inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement, ensuring that your organization is equipped to meet the demands of high-consequence software development.
This assessment includes:
-
Assessment of Current Processes: A detailed review of existing workflows and methodologies across Product Management, Product Design, and Software Development, including remote interviews conducted by Edensoft Labs consultants.
-
Technology and Tool Recommendations: Evaluation and recommendations for tool configuration improvements or alternative tools that can enhance collaboration and efficiency.
-
Gap Analysis: Identification of inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas where engineering rigor, discipline, and testing need to be improved.
-
Customized Strategy Development: Tailored strategies and action plans will be developed to address identified gaps, boost efficiency, and ensure sustainable development practices for high-consequence software.
-
In-Person Engagements: On-site visits by Edensoft Labs consultants to key locations as needed. All travel costs are included in the engagement.
At the conclusion of the engagement, Edensoft Labs will deliver a comprehensive final report that details findings and provides actionable recommendations to optimize your organization’s software development processes.

Why Edensoft for High-Consequence Applications?
​
For industries where software failure can lead to catastrophic results—such as defense, cybersecurity, energy, aviation, healthcare, and finance—Agile, Scrum, and DevOps methodologies alone are insufficient. These approaches prioritize speed and frequent updates, which can compromise the reliability of systems where failure has severe consequences.
​
Edensoft Labs offers a tailored approach that balances the need for agility with the rigorous discipline necessary for high-consequence software. We help organizations move beyond traditional methodologies, focusing on engineering excellence, risk mitigation, and comprehensive testing to prevent disasters like the CrowdStrike incident.
