        window.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        window.rootViewController = self.rootFlowController.rootViewController

    lazy var integrator: IntegrationService = {
        let coreDataProcessor = CoreDataReportProcessor(stack: self.coreDataStack)
        let integrator = IntegrationService(provider: self.mfpService) {
            coreDataProcessor.processReports($0)

Private functions sounds like the most straight forward approach I would think. Who cares if it’s a static method or anything. Object oriented is only really about public interfaces. So just do something functional like Jessy’s https://gist.github.com/krzysztofzablocki/6a1b6afab974f442f5ff#gistcomment-1623209

Except I would call the functions initIntegrator or createIntegrator instead of using pascal case, as they look like their own initialisers and types instead of simple functions.

Nice work with this all by the way!

How about Option 2 - lazy var’s with side-effects + builders ?
