Digital architecture in Milan: software, AI and automation under control
KAPPA404 is Amine Khabir's digital architecture lab in Milan: custom software, governed AI and automation, websites and e-commerce, video and drone footage for SMEs and professional firms across Italy.
Public prices, VAT excluded
- Audit from €490
- Landing page €1,500
- Software from €8,000
From problem to outcome
Digital systems that are orderly, measurable, and governable.
The problem
- 01
The presence doesn't guide
Offer, proof, and contact do not yet form an understandable path.
- 02
The team does the work twice
Information and decisions scatter across tools that don't communicate with each other.
- 03
Automation has no boundaries
Data, responsibility, approval, and fallback have not been defined.
What you gain
Governed AI
Local AI, agents, and automation with roles, permissions, logs, audit trails, and human oversight where needed.
Controlled evolution
Security, observability, documentation, and maintenance let the system evolve without losing control.
KAPPA404 does not sell generic consulting hours: it builds defined systems with a declared scope.
- The result depends on the problem: a more ordered ecosystem, governed AI, and a secure foundation to evolve over time.
- Every engagement states its scope, deliverables, ownership, and verification criteria before work begins.
Services
Custom software, AI, websites and video: eight services, one system
From the initial audit to ongoing support: every service states its scope, deliverables, and public price, VAT excluded. Each card opens a pre-filled request.

Method
From process to documented system.
KAPPA404 starts from users, steps, tools, and constraints, builds a first useful block, verifies it, and leaves a foundation your team can understand and govern.
Observe
The real process is gathered, not the ideal version: roles, inputs, exceptions, and friction points.
Map
Data, responsibilities, dependencies, and system boundaries become visible.
Design
The blueprint and the first vertical slice are defined with acceptance criteria.
Build
The critical path is built, integrating only what the scope requires.
Verify
Behaviour, edge cases, accessibility, and signals useful to the team are tested.
Deliver
Ownership, maintenance, limits, and the next step stay documented.
Governed AI
Local AI is an operating system with rules — not a model installed in a room
KAPPA404 starts with the process, information boundary, roles, approvals, risks, and KPIs. Only then does it choose models, infrastructure, integrations, and interfaces.
Roles & permissions
Every action is tied to a role, a purpose, and the minimum access required.
More: Roles & permissions
In the system
- Name every human actor and service involved in the flow
- Assign accessible data classes and permitted actions to each role
- Keep requesting, approving, executing, exporting, and configuring separate
Evidence to produce
- Role × action × data-class matrix
- Source and permission register
- Allowed, denied, and revoked access tests
Human control
The system may propose; critical or irreversible steps require an identifiable human decision.
More: Human control
In the system
- Name the authority and approver for each critical stage
- Declare escalation thresholds, stop rules, and exception handling
- Provide a usable manual fallback when automation cannot continue
Evidence to produce
- Proposal → review → approval or execution state map
- Decision and approver matrix
- Stop, escalation, and fallback test results
Logs & traceability
Relevant actions must be reconstructable without recording more data than necessary.
More: Logs & traceability
In the system
- Record correlation ID, timestamp, source, and model or configuration version
- Link action, human decision, outcome, or error in one reconstructable trace
- Define access, retention, and redaction before logs are collected
Evidence to produce
- Event schema and field dictionary
- Redacted example trace from intake to outcome
- Log completeness, access, and retention tests
Security boundary
Local or private does not automatically mean secure: boundaries, dependencies, and assumptions must be declared.
More: Security boundary
In the system
- Map sources, data flows, trust zones, and allowed data egress
- Document secrets, connectors, providers, and external dependencies
- Test backup and recovery against named threat scenarios and mitigations
Evidence to produce
- Data-flow and trust-boundary diagram
- Threat model with risks, mitigations, and owners
- Dependency inventory with recovery-test evidence
KPIs & limits
No benefit is assumed: performance is measured against a baseline, acceptance criteria, and stop conditions.
More: KPIs & limits
In the system
- Define source, owner, cadence, and threshold for every KPI
- Observe task usefulness, errors, overrides or abstentions, latency, and cost where relevant
- Use acceptance criteria and stop conditions for the go or no-go decision
Evidence to produce
- Baseline worksheet and KPI dictionary
- Evaluation cases with pass/fail criteria
- Comparison report with observed failures and go/no-go decision
Runbook & ownership
A governable system must be maintainable, updateable, stoppable, and capable of retirement by named owners.
More: Runbook & ownership
In the system
- Assign owners for process, data, model or provider, security, and operations
- Document monitoring, incident handling, and controlled changes
- Maintain rollback, review, handover, and retirement procedures
Evidence to produce
- Ownership matrix and escalation contacts
- Operating runbook with fallback, rollback, and incident handling
- Version and change register with handover checklist

I continue to develop my skills in applied AI, project management, cloud native systems, and software security to turn concrete needs into understandable, verifiable, and maintainable systems.
Method, focus and background
Working method
A professional outcome is not just an effective interface: it must be understandable for those who use it, sustainable for those who manage it, and proportionate to the risks. That is why I distinguish operational experience, documented education, and verifiable outcomes transparently, defining scope, responsibilities, and the next step before building.
Work and learning areas
- Web development, interfaces, and digital tools built around a real process.
- First-line IT support: ticketing, troubleshooting, configuration, and technical documentation.
- Generative AI and assisted workflows: prompts, agents, and automations with explicit human review.
- Continuous learning in secure development, APIs, Linux, cloud native, DevOps/SRE, and project management.
Background: education and experience
Technical foundations and web practice
Training in programming, Linux, and web development at Aix-Marseille University, completed with the French BAC in 2022. In parallel, freelance work for Avenir84 on websites, content, and digital support.
International experience
An Erasmus project focused on digital communication, photo and video production, content organisation, and management of a web project.
IT operations and specialisation

FAQ
Before you start
The most common questions about contact, quotes, prices, data, and support before starting a project with KAPPA404.
How does the first contact work?
The quickest route is the request form at the bottom of this page: share your goal, timing, and indicative budget. For briefs and documents you can write to info@kappa404.it; for a quick first message there is WhatsApp. I reply within 2 working days.
How long does it take to receive a quote?
I reply within 2 working days with a first alignment. The final quote follows once the real scope of the project is defined: complex cases start with an audit (from €490, VAT excluded).
Where should I start with a limited budget?
Three entry points have a fixed public price, VAT excluded. Digital presence audit (€490): website, message, technical SEO baseline, and contact path; Landing Sprint (€1,500): one page, one offer, one primary conversion; Governed AI Workshop, Team format (€790): focused session for up to 6 people. The final quote follows scope verification.
Where does KAPPA404 work?
KAPPA404 is based in Milan and works with SMEs and professional firms across Italy, fully remotely when needed. In-person meetings in Milan are arranged by appointment.
What's the pricing and payment structure?
Every quote stays valid for 30 days and includes 2 rounds of revisions; urgent delivery adds 30% after a feasibility review. Payments: 50/50 below €2,000; 40/40/20 above €2,000; recurring services paid in advance. Published prices exclude VAT.
How long does it take to start a digital project with KAPPA404?
A project usually begins within 5–10 working days after alignment on goals, priorities, channels, and available materials.
Does KAPPA404 also work on existing websites or systems?
Yes. A technical and visual audit comes first to understand constraints, technical debt, SEO opportunities, and conversion improvement margins.
Do I need an existing website or system to start?
No, you don't need an existing website: the audit can start from an existing site, a landing page, visual material, or an idea for a digital system that still needs structure. The first conversation clarifies goals, constraints, available materials, and priorities; the quote follows only afterwards, once the real scope of the project is defined.
What happens after the initial audit?
You receive concise findings, a process diagram, priorities ordered as P0, P1, and P2, a proposed first vertical slice, and a map of dependencies with the next step. The audit does not include penetration testing, legal or compliance opinions, or implementation: that remains a separate decision.
Are AI automations built to measure?
Yes. Automations are designed around real processes: lead flow, content, customer responses, internal workflows, and operational integrations.
How is data handled during an AI or software project?
Every action is tied to a role, a specific purpose, and the minimum access required: not everyone can see or change everything. In parallel, relevant actions stay traceable and reconstructable, without recording more data than necessary.
Is there support after delivery?
Yes. Web Care covers websites and web platforms with three tiers of maintenance, small changes, and monitoring; K404 Care covers software and AI systems with reviews, maintenance, security, and improvements within a bounded monthly capacity. Both are monthly retainers across three tiers.
