Five rules

What we believe.

One job at a time.

These five rules are how we decide what to build. Each one costs us something we could otherwise sell, which is how you can tell it is a rule and not a slogan.

One job at a time

We name the job that comes back every week and build that system before we open the next one. The cost is a slower first month than a proposal that promises the whole company at once.

You sign what commits you

You sign the price, the time you promise, a change in scope, and any new claim. A message you signed once can go out after the checks pass. The cost is a draft that sits, because silence is not a yes.

We run it on ourselves first

A system we have not run on our own work does not go out as a finished product. The cost is an idea that stays off the shelf past the week we first wanted to launch it.

Your tools stay

We connect to the software you already pay for. We do not ask you to move the business onto a stack of ours. The cost is a longer build when the tools differ from one company to the next.

A clear no is a real answer

The Free Systems Plan can come back as a no, in writing. The cost is work we decline when the job does not support a build. We would rather lose that work than start it.
