Approach
Built to keep working after we leave.
We're a small shop and plan to stay one. You deal directly with the people accountable for the work, and everything we build is meant to still be working years from now.
What we believe
Diagnose the real problem
The problem that's easiest to describe is rarely the one costing you money. We dig until we find the one that is. Most failed software is a precise solution to the wrong problem.
Build the smallest thing that works
We build the leanest system that fixes the problem. No gold-plating. Fewer moving parts means fewer things to break and a lower bill.
Hand over something you own
You get working software you control and can run yourself. Our goal is to make ourselves optional.
Stay close and accountable
We're a small Maine firm. You talk to the people doing the work, and we stand behind what we ship.
What working with us looks like
Four steps, no mystery
- 01 · Scope
A conversation, then a clear picture
We start with a no-pressure call to understand the operation and the problem underneath the symptoms. You leave with our honest read on what's worth building and what isn't.
- 02 · Plan
The smallest thing that works
We propose the smallest build that will fix it, with scope, trade-offs, and cost laid out plainly. If a line item surprises you, we scoped it wrong.
- 03 · Build
You see it running early
We build in short cycles and show you the software itself, early and often, so we can adjust while changes are still cheap.
- 04 · Hand off
Something you own and can run
You get the code, the access, and the documentation to run it yourself. We stay available if you want us, but nothing breaks if you never call.
Bring us the problem nobody else will own.
Contact us for more information or to schedule a consult. A real person reads every message and replies within one business day. The first call is a conversation about the problem, and nobody is going to pitch you.
