Difficult problems · scope agreed upfront

Turn the hard operational problems into useful systems.

We find the friction that quietly costs your team time, money, or momentum, then invent a focused system around the way your company really works. You own the result, infrastructure and credentials.

We don’t start with a template or force every problem into automation. We combine purpose-built software, thoughtful workflow design, and automation where it genuinely helps — creating the missing system around how your team actually works.

// what we solve

Remove the expensive friction.

We start with the bottleneck, not a favorite tool. Then we design and install a focused system around your real workflow—not a generic package.

01 — FIND THE LEVER

Find what is costing you

We map the real friction: the handoffs, blind spots, repeated decisions, and workarounds that drain time or let revenue slip.

  • · A messy process turned into a clear operating map
  • · A better way to collect, review, or route information
  • · A solution designed around your team, not a template
02 — SHAPE THE ANSWER

Build the missing piece

A lightweight internal app, a decision dashboard, a connected data layer, or a workflow that removes the awkward middle.

  • · Dashboards that make the next action obvious
  • · Interfaces for teams stuck in spreadsheets
  • · Integrations that make existing tools feel like one system
03 — MAKE IT RUN

Reliable systems, not demos

We build, test, document, and hand over something your team can use every day. The implementation can be simple or sophisticated; the outcome should feel obvious.

  • · A single view that pulls from the tools you already use
  • · Simple controls so non-technical teammates can run things
  • · Automation where it genuinely removes effort
// process

A clear path from manual to running.

Every project has a written scope, fixed quote and agreed timeline. You see the workflow running in your environment before final handover.

D1–3 / discovery

Map the manual

We screen-share, watch you do the thing, and write a one-page spec. You sign off before a single workflow is built.

D4–13 / build

Build, async

We build in a shared staging environment and ping you on Slack when something needs your input. No daily check-ins, no scheduled calls — you only hear from us when there's a real question.

D14 / ship

Hand it over.

Workflow goes live in your environment. We send a short Loom walking through how it works and where to edit it. You own it from day one.

D15+ / bug-fix window

A defined bug-fix window.

Every proposal states the post-launch bug-fix window. If something we built misbehaves during that period, we fix it at no extra cost. Afterward, your team owns it, with the walkthrough and documentation to support them.

// what we do

A practical answer, built around reality.

Every project begins with the problem, the people affected, the constraints, and a measurable definition of “working.”

  • · A written workflow map before we build
  • · Clear ownership of each tool and credential
  • · A solution shaped around your actual constraints
  • · Fewer errors, fewer dropped balls
  • · Better visibility into what's actually happening
  • · A handover your team can actually use
// pricing

Three sizes. One model.

These are rough starting points, not fixed packages. We stay flexible on scope, systems and pricing once we understand the workflow, and your written proposal confirms the final plan before kickoff.

We stay flexible and honest about the workflow. You’ll pay for what the agreed scope actually needs. No unnecessary complexity or cost.

// common questions

Things buyers ask.

Do I own the workflow?

+

Yes. The workflow runs in your own instance, on your infrastructure, with your credentials. We hand over the workflow definition, the documentation, and the keys. You can hand it to anyone.

What if it breaks after you ship?

+

Every proposal names the post-launch bug-fix window. If something we built breaks during that period, we fix it at no cost. Afterward, your team owns it, with documentation and a walkthrough to support them.

Do you use AI / LLMs in the workflows?

+

Only when you bring the API key. We don't add LLM calls that you pay us for. If AI is the right tool, we'll spec which model, what context, and what the bill will look like before we build.

How does payment work?

+

50% on kickoff and 50% at handover. We invoice in USD or EUR. The exact payment method and any cancellation terms are set out in the proposal before you commit.

What if my scope changes mid-build?

+

We re-scope in writing, agree on the price delta, and keep moving. Most projects don't, but if yours does, you'll know the cost before any extra work happens.

Can you help after handover?

+

Your proposal names the included bug-fix window and handover materials. If you want help later, we can discuss one-off support or an agreed maintenance plan; nothing is assumed or silently renewed.

How involved does my team need to be?

+

We keep the build mostly async, but your team signs off the workflow map before we build and reviews the working system before handover. That keeps the process quiet without making it a black box.
