From technical debt to AI-native in weeks.

How Solifi’s engineering team went from questioning whether AI-native development was real — to embedding it into how they operate.

“Every engineering team is going to have to solve this. The only question is whether you do it before or after your competitors do.”

Vinay Mehta, Chief Technology Officer, Solifi

The Challenge

A problem every engineering leader knows.

Years of technical debt. Incomplete documentation. Code no one wants to touch. The conventional answer is time and money — and even when you have both, the timeline is measured in years.

Solifi wanted a better answer. Not in a demo. Against a real system, with their real team.

forgd gave them one — in weeks.

Our applied AI architects embedded directly with Solifi’s developers — not to show off what AI could do, but to make the team capable of doing it themselves.

Day 1forgd architects embedded directly with the team. Rebuilding technical documentation. Identifying critical untested code paths. Building reusable workflows.
3-dayIn-person workshop to design AI-integrated pipelines across the SDLC. By then, the Solifi team was ready to lead it.
Week 3Engineers running Claude Code independently — cutting database calls by 70% in a critical module, closing test coverage gaps, and triaging production issues.

“We moved from questioning whether AI-native development was real — to embedding it into how we operate. That shift took weeks, not the years a conventional approach would have demanded.”

What sets forgd apart.

Capability transfer, not dependency

forgd’s engineers embed with yours. They transfer practical expertise — how to structure prompts, build repeatable workflows, and validate AI outputs with confidence. You leave with capability, not a contract.

Built on Anthropic, by design

These aren’t generalist consultants hedging their bets across platforms. forgd works exclusively in this space, with deep ties to Anthropic — and it shows in the quality of thinking, the precision of methods, and their ability to see around corners.

Execution, not theater

forgd moved Solifi from questioning whether AI-native development was real to embedding it in how they operate. Weeks, not months. Real systems, real team, real results.
