Company

Judge us on what we decided.

Every company claims the same values. Here is what ours actually cost us.

Decisions

Seven things we chose, and pay for.

Each one closes a door that would have been easier to leave open.

  1. 01

    We own the hardware

    Renting inference would be cheaper to start, and cheaper to walk away from.

  2. 02

    We do not run demos

    A working account or nothing. A demo only ever shows the version with no edge cases.

  3. 03

    Access is by contract

    No signup button. It costs us every visitor who wanted to try it tonight.

  4. 04

    We publish what is not built

    Our own product pages name the parts that do not exist yet.

  5. 05

    We never name a client

    It is the easiest proof there is to show, and we give it up.

  6. 06

    We do not show our stack

    Capabilities in full, implementation never — so you cannot audit us on it either.

  7. 07

    Whoever scopes it, builds it

    It caps how much work we can hold at once. That is the point of it.

Why

The demo is the easy half.

What separates a prototype from a platform is everything that happens after it works once.

Example · the order these usually arrive in
week 1It worked in the demo.
week 6It met two customers in one database.
week 9It sent the same message twice.
week 14Nobody could say why it had decided that.
nowThe hard half is everything after the demo.
  1. 01

    We start from what breaks

    Those are the decisions that are expensive to change later.

  2. 02

    Tenancy, limits, billing, audit

    The half that decides whether a system survives contact with real load.

  3. 03

    We carry our own pager

    Our own products are in production. The advice is tested on us first.

Work

How we take it on.

Three shapes, and we will tell you which one you actually need.

  1. 01

    Architecture review

    A second opinion before you commit to a rebuild.

  2. 02

    A scoped build

    Agreed, delivered, and handed over with runbooks.

  3. 03

    Long-running platform work

    Where we stay on it after it ships.
