How we work

A working version first. Then your corrections.

You don't need a spec. You need to know the work, and you already do.

The steps

From your words to a running system

  1. An empty river at dusk with a straight line of lit survey buoys marking where a crossing will go
    Stage 1 of 5 · Survey

    Tell us how the work runs

    In your own words, with your own spreadsheets. You don't need to learn our vocabulary.

  2. A plain temporary trestle with a string of work lamps crossing the whole river

    See a working version

    The first thing back is software you can click, not a slide deck. It runs on made-up data, so nothing private leaves your building.

  3. A bridge tower in formwork beside a tower crane, with the new deck stopping in mid-air above the temporary trestle
    Stage 3 of 5 · The real one goes up

    Mark it up

    Tell us what's wrong. The next version carries your changes, and the one you already saw stays put, so nothing moves under you.

  4. A line of loaded dump trucks parked nose to tail along the finished deck at night under floodlights
    Stage 4 of 5 · Load test

    We try to break it

    Every rule you gave us gets a test, including the things it should refuse. A test that can't fail doesn't count.

  5. The finished cable-stayed bridge at dusk with every lamp lit and reflected in the river

    Put it to work

    You decide when it's ready. Until then, nothing real depends on it.

What we hold ourselves to

Four rules we don't bend

Made-up data in every demo

Demos run on invented patients and accounts. You can see what it does before a real record is anywhere near it.

Shown in a scheduled demo

The sketches on this site are sketches. You see a working system with the people who need to see it, in a demo set up for them.

Numbers get checked twice

Every number on a screen gets recomputed by a separate program. If the two disagree, it doesn't ship. That goes for the ones on this site too.

No logo wall

Who we work with stays between us and them. A name goes on this site only when they say so.
