Makit Workbench

Every stage of Japanese-style software delivery — run by AI.

Start from requirements or from legacy source. Requirements, design, build, four levels of testing, migration, and operations — every document a large Japanese engagement must deliver, produced as stage output — not one missing. Deploy in one click. Progress shows per job (one run for one issue), as in this figure.

Two ways in

From requirements, or from legacy.

A

From requirements (new build)

Just hand over the requirement documents, interview notes and business materials. The AI turns them into a requirements specification, and the same job carries the work through design, build, testing, migration and operations.

B

From legacy assets (renewal)

We read the actual COBOL, Java, VB or PL/SQL source and recover the current specification. Even a thirty-year-old asset whose design documents are long gone can start from the next step.

↓ Both merge into the same seven phases ↓

The seven phases

The job advances. The documents land. The system runs.

  1. 01RequirementsRequirements specification, function list, non-functional requirements. For legacy work it starts with a survey of the current assets.Requirements specification, function list and more
  2. 02Basic designArchitecture, screens, forms, database and external interfaces — laid out in your own template.Basic design, form design and more
  3. 03Detailed designA 22-chapter detailed design specification with UML. A check stamp per chapter.Detailed design specification, UML and more
  4. 04ImplementationCode and unit tests generated on your target stack, delivered as pull requests.Source code, unit test code and more
  5. 05TestingFour stages: unit, integration, system and acceptance. Test reports are generated from the actual runs.Test plans, specifications, reports, defect reports and more
  6. 06Migration & releaseMigration plan, rehearsal and dual approval. One-click deployment, and rollback too.Migration plan, release procedure and more
  7. 07Operations & maintenanceOperations design, monitoring and incident response. After delivery, each maintenance issue gets a job that runs the same phases.Operations design, monitoring design and more

Each phase is closed by a check stamp — a person stamps it, the AI writes it. A rejection returns to the previous phase with a reason and the AI does it again. Phase 05 Testing has four stages: unit, integration, system and acceptance.

Deliverables

Not one missing.

Not only the final documents. The intermediate ones too — test plans and reports for every level, review records, migration rehearsal records, weekly progress reports — all assembled to the delivery standard of a large Japanese engagement. Anything marked "Automatic" does not even have to be written: it comes out of the job's record.

The standard template (標準納品規程 v3) covers 100 documents in total. See the deliverables catalogue on the product page for the breakdown. We can also swap in your own delivery standard. See the catalogue ▸

How it works

Start by looking at a real job.

  1. 1A 30-minute online sessionYou watch a real job in motion. We ask about your delivery standard and the shape of your assets, and give a rough estimate the next business day.
  2. 2PoC — one module, four weeksThe PoC is one module over four weeks: we run all seven phases on one module of your own assets, and you judge the full set of deliverables and the quality metrics on the real thing.
  3. 3Full rolloutWe fit the template to your standard and run several modules in parallel. Acceptance stays on your existing PR and sign-off flow.

Case studies

Backwards, forwards, or both at once.

Entry BManufacturing · core systems

A thirty-year-old sales system with no design documents, moved to Java.

We reverse-read 410,000 lines of COBOL, restored the current specification, then renewed the system. Acceptance testing passed in the customer’s own sign-off format.

COBOL 410KLOC → Java / 22 chapters ×6 sets / defect density 0.42
Entry AFinance · new build

Forty pages of requirement notes became a new system around the core banking platform.

Forward generation. Every document from requirements through acceptance was delivered to standard, and the audit department passed the document review in one round.

63 documents / requirements→production 14 weeks / accepted first time
MixedRetail · e-commerce

A legacy inventory system read out, while new e-commerce features were built alongside.

Renewal (Entry B) and new build (Entry A) jobs ran in parallel in one project, with the shared platform work referenced across both.

9 jobs in parallel / weekly reports fully automated

These case studies are anonymised, PoC-stage results. Company names, logos and confirmed figures will replace this block once the client's permission is granted. We never publish a logo without consent.

Pricing

Priced per engagement.

Composed according to the scale of your assets, your delivery standard and your team. Starting with a PoC — one module, four weeks — is the standard contract.

Just to be clear

Makit is not project-management software.

There is no screen for entering progress and no feature for writing reports — the AI performs the phases, and people only apply the check stamp.
