CORE Create · Custom enterprise software development
Not built yet? Build it from the requirement.
Describe what you need the way you already would: a document, a PDF, screenshots, a recorded call. CORE turns it into a finished, tested enterprise system, and your team approves each stage before the next one starts.
You approve every stage
Watch one system take shape, stage by stage.
Follow a real kind of request, a procurement approval workflow, from the first description to a system running on a live link. Nothing moves to the next stage until your team approves it.
Self-heal. If your answers contradict each other or the original requirement, CORE flags it before anything is designed.
What your team reviews
- That CORE has understood the business correctly
- The answers to its questions
- Anything to add before design begins
Understanding the requirement
First, agree on what you actually asked for.
CORE reads your requirement as written, whether that is a document, a PDF, screenshots or a recorded call, and plays back what it understood: the roles, rules, integrations and compliance needs. Where something is missing or contradictory, it asks, with a sensible default suggested.
What CORE produces
- A plain-language summary of the requirement
- Roles, rules, integrations and compliance needs
- Questions about gaps and contradictions
- Suggested defaults, so answering is quick
- A list of assumptions, stated openly
Self-heal. Use cases with no screen, or rules no screen enforces, are caught automatically and added before you review.
What your team reviews
- That nothing is missing from the use case list
- That screens show the right information
- That rules match how the business really works
Use cases, wireframes, data rules
Every task, every screen and every rule, before any code.
CORE turns the agreed understanding into the list of use cases each kind of user needs, rough wireframes for each screen, and the data rules the system must always enforce.
What CORE produces
- Use cases for each kind of user
- Wireframes for every screen
- Data rules and validations
- The approval workflow as a state machine
- Security controls mapped to each use case
Self-heal. Each comment you leave becomes a change to the mock, and CORE re-checks that it still satisfies every use case.
What your team reviews
- That the journeys feel right to real users
- Labels, layout and the information on each screen
- Comments for anything that should change
Mock website
Click through the system before it exists.
CORE builds a clickable mock website of every screen, filled with realistic sample data. Your team clicks through the real journeys and leaves comments right on the screens.
What CORE produces
- A clickable mock of every screen
- Realistic sample data in every view
- Real navigation between screens
- Comments pinned to any part of a screen
- A changed version within the review cycle
Self-heal. CORE checks the design against every use case and data rule, and fixes any gap before it reaches your architects.
What your team reviews
- That the model supports every use case
- Field names and types
- Retention and audit requirements
Database design
The data model, agreed before it is hard to change.
CORE designs the tables, relationships, constraints and audit structures behind the approved screens and rules, in a form your architects and data team can review.
What CORE produces
- Entities, fields and relationships
- Constraints that enforce the data rules
- Audit and history structures
- Indexes for the expected queries
- Migration and seed data plans
Self-heal. Endpoints that fail their contract tests are fixed and re-tested automatically before your review.
What your team reviews
- That every screen action has an endpoint
- Who can call what
- How your other systems will connect
APIs
Contracts first, so every screen and integration fits.
CORE defines the API contract for every action the screens and integrations need, with authentication, permissions and error handling, and tests each endpoint against the contract.
What CORE produces
- An OpenAPI contract for every endpoint
- Authentication and permissions per action
- Validation and error responses
- Contract tests for every endpoint
- Integration points with your other systems
Self-heal. Generated tests run on every build; failures are diagnosed and repaired before the link is shared with you.
What your team reviews
- The real system against your own scenarios
- That it matches what you approved
- Anything to fix before handover
Finished system on a live link
Test the real system yourself before you accept it.
CORE builds the system you approved, runs its own unit, integration and security tests, and deploys it to a live test link. Your team works through it with your own scenarios, and only then does it move to your repository.
What CORE produces
- The complete application, built to the approved design
- Unit, integration and security tests, all passing
- A live test link for your team
- Infrastructure as code and pipelines
- Runbook, admin guide and API reference
Based on the procurement approval example on the See CORE build page.
What you bring
Start with whatever you already have.
No specification template to fill in. CORE reads the material your business already produces and asks about anything that is missing or contradicts itself.
- Business requirement documentsBRDs, scope notes, emails
- PDFs and policiesRules the system must follow
- ScreenshotsOf tools you use today
- SpreadsheetsThe process as it runs now
- Recorded callsStakeholders explaining what they need
- Existing dataSamples that shape the database
Built from a blank page
The kind of software that usually takes months of custom work.
Procurement approval workflow
Multi-level sign-off with audit trails, SSO, Slack notifications and department-specific routing.
Contract lifecycle management
Draft, legal review, negotiation, signature and renewal reminders, with every version kept.
Employee onboarding portal
HR forms, IT provisioning, manager checklists and integration with Workday or SuccessFactors.
Vendor risk assessment
Questionnaires, evidence collection, risk scoring, periodic re-assessment and regulator-ready reports.
Field service dispatch
Ticket triage, assignment by skill and location, live status, and a mobile-first view for field staff.
Compliance evidence tracker
Control library, evidence cadence, read-only auditor access and gap dashboards.
Replacing an existing system rather than starting fresh? That is a rewrite, and it lives in Re-engineer, where the old system's business rules are recovered first.
What you receive
Not scaffolding. A finished application.
Database
Schema, migrations, seed data and indexes.
APIs and sign-in
Documented APIs, SSO and role-based access.
User interface
Every screen from the approved mock website, responsive.
Test suite
Unit, integration and security tests, passing at handover.
Security controls
OWASP protections, encryption and secret management.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines for your cloud.
Observability
Dashboards, alerts and service-level tracking.
Documentation
Runbook, admin guide and API reference.
Self-heal from the first build.
Generated tests run on every build. When one fails, CORE diagnoses the cause and repairs it before the work reaches your review, so what you approve already passes.
- Tests generated with the code
- Failures diagnosed and repaired
- Security checks on every build
- Evaluate keeps watching after launch
Reference build
The Managed Vendor Risk Program.
SSDB built this platform end to end with CORE from a business requirement document: vendor risk scoring, third-party assessment workflows, Salesforce sync and DocuSign approval flows, reviewed by SSDB architects at every stage.

What does CORE Create need from us to start?
Whatever you already have: requirement documents, PDFs, screenshots, spreadsheets, recorded calls or sample data. CORE reads it, asks about gaps and contradictions, and shows you its understanding for approval before anything else happens.
What is in the free blueprint?
The list of use cases, a mock website you can click through and the database design, delivered within 48 hours of receiving one requirement. It is yours to keep whether or not you continue.
Who owns the code CORE creates?
You do. It is standard source code delivered to your repository and deployed in your environment, with no runtime dependency on CORE.
Is Create the right product for replacing an old system?
Usually not. Replacing an existing system is a rewrite, which belongs to Re-engineer, because the business rules in the old code need to be recovered and preserved first.
