Services
Four crafts, one standard
The offering is deliberately narrow. Anything we take on has to be work we'd put our own name on — built by senior people, shipped to real users, and handed over clean.
01
AI workflow & automation
This is our main focus. We build the AI tools that take work off your team's plate — custom agents, automations, and process software that make your existing workflows faster, cheaper, and less error-prone.
- Custom AI agents for triage, routing, extraction, and classification
- Automation of repetitive processes: data entry, document handling, reconciliation
- Process tools that encode how work actually happens — not how a consultant imagines it
- Integration with your stack: CRMs, support desks, ERPs, and internal tools
- Human-in-the-loop review so mistakes are caught, not trusted
What you leave with — A measurable drop in hours per week on the workflows that matter — and a process that survives the person who used to run it leaving.
02
Web development
Where most of the software we ship lives: the platforms your customers log into at 9am, and the tools your own team depends on at 5pm.
- Customer-facing SaaS, portals, and dashboards
- Internal tools your team stops apologising for
- APIs and integrations designed to be lived with, not just launched
- TypeScript, React, and whatever else genuinely fits
What you leave with — Something people actually use, and a codebase your team can take over without a handover project.
03
Mobile & app development
iOS and Android, from one codebase where that's the honest answer and from two where it isn't. Apps that feel native, work offline, and stay boringly reliable.
- Native iOS and Android, or React Native / Flutter where the trade-off is worth it
- Offline-first features for where phones actually live
- Push notifications, sync, and the edge cases that kill most apps
- Store submissions, releases, and monitoring
What you leave with — Your app on the stores — downloadable, smooth, and reliable enough that nobody has to think about it.
04
Software consulting
An outside pair of eyes that has seen the movie before. Reviews, audits, and advice — including the kind that costs us the project.
- Architecture reviews and code audits that name the actual files that hurt
- Technical due diligence before you buy, invest, or sign
- Automation and AI feasibility assessments
- Estimates and build-or-buy advice we'll revise when we're wrong
What you leave with — Decisions you can defend internally, grounded in evidence instead of whoever argued loudest.
Engagements
Three ways of working together
Most projects fit one of these. If yours doesn't, we'll bend them — or tell you that you need something better.
A crew, on your problem
Two to four engineers embedded for a quarter or more, working on your codebase next to your team.
Building from zero to launch
A price and a date
A defined deliverable, a fixed price, a day you can plan around.
MVPs & defined builds
A senior engineer on call
A few hours a month to steer architecture, AI strategy, and hiring.
