The MavenSolutions story

After twenty years of watching consultants recommend and engineers build, we started MavenSolutions to own the result.

01

The pattern

Consulting recommends. Engineering builds. Nobody owns the result.

Most enterprise software projects follow a familiar structure. Consultants define the strategy. Engineers build against it. They report to different leaders and work on different schedules, so no one owns the result. The outcome is predictable: a partial implementation, delivered late, with the most important parts still unresolved.

We saw this for fifteen years while running an ecommerce engineering company. The technology changed, but the handoff between advice and delivery did not. It also left clients dependent on expertise outside their company.

MavenSolutions keeps the business case, delivery, and measurement under one team. The engagement ends with a working system the client owns.

02

Why now

AI agents change the math.

AI agents make smaller, bounded projects practical. A workflow with a known cost and an operations owner once required a multi-quarter integration program. Today, the same work can often be delivered as a focused build that the operations team can own. That is why MavenSolutions exists now.

03

How we're built

Four commitments, each a response to a failure we've watched repeat.

One accountable chain.

Andrew Korolov owns the judgment and accountability on every engagement. An established team of people he has shipped with for years handles delivery. Advice, delivery, and measurement stay with the same team.

Evidence before spend.

We define the evaluation and stop criteria before the expensive work begins. Without a baseline, we do not build.

Fixed scope, fixed price.

Open-ended engagements drift toward the consultant's incentives. Fixed scope forces the hard conversations into week one, where they belong.

Ownership transfer is a deliverable.

The engagement is designed to end with your team in control. At handoff, you own the code, evaluations, configuration, and runbook.

Andrew Korolov, founder of MavenSolutions

Operator first.

Andrew helped build Magento twenty years ago. That work taught him what breaks when software meets real traffic. He then spent fifteen years leading MavenEcommerce, an ecommerce engineering company whose client relationships ran as long as a decade. Hundreds of projects taught him which engagement shapes work and which reliably fail.

A.G.E.N.T. turns those lessons into a working method: define the evaluation first, keep the architecture small, instrument production, and leave the client able to run it. The framework is public so you can examine the method before we talk.
