Discovery sprint
A fixed-fee engagement that ends with a scoped build plan: the workflow mapped, the data assessed, the AI approach tested on a slice of your real content, and an honest verdict on whether it's worth building.
Services
We don't staff client work from a bench. Engagements are delivered by the team that carries production responsibility for ZappRFP, ExitIntelli, JoinIntelli and Sydael — which is why our scoping conversations start with operations, not features.
From an idea on a whiteboard to a product your customers pay for — designed, built, secured and operated. We work on systems where the AI has to be right, traceable and defensible, not merely impressive.
Problem framing, workflow mapping and a scope that can actually ship in a quarter rather than a roadmap that never closes.
Retrieval over your own documents and records, citation-backed generation, evaluation harnesses and guardrails against confident nonsense.
React and Next.js front ends, serverless and API back ends, Postgres and Supabase data layers, Stripe billing, deployed on Vercel or Netlify.
Email, calendar, HRIS, ATS, storage and chat platforms — including Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams, SharePoint and Google Drive.
Per-tenant isolation, role-scoped access, consent gating, redaction of personal data and retention policies designed in from the first schema.
Monitoring, quality tuning, support runbooks and a documented handover to your team whenever you want to take it in-house.
Fifteen years of running HR functions, not just building software for them. We work with CHROs and HR operations leaders on the systems, processes and numbers behind the people function.
Hands-on delivery experience with SAP SuccessFactors and Darwinbox — configuration, data migration, integration and adoption.
Hire-to-retire process mapping and rebuild: onboarding, performance, movement and exit, designed around what people will actually do.
Attrition driver analysis, workforce dashboards and the metric definitions that make them comparable quarter on quarter.
Removing manual work from HR operations with AI-assisted workflows — screening, documentation, case handling and reporting.
Headcount planning, cost-per-hire and attrition cost models built by someone who has sat on both sides as a finance business partner.
Where one of our own products closes the gap faster than a custom build, we say so — and deploy it instead of billing for the rebuild.
Approach
A deliberately short path from problem to production. Most first engagements reach a working system inside a quarter.
We define the decision the software has to improve, the data available to ground it, and what "good" looks like in numbers.
A narrow, working slice against your real data — not a demo environment. This is where AI approaches earn or lose their place.
Production engineering: tenant isolation, audit trails, integrations, review workflows and the unglamorous operational surface.
We stay accountable after launch — monitoring quality, tuning retrieval, and handing over to your team on your timeline.
Engagement models
Pick the one that matches how defined the problem already is.
A fixed-fee engagement that ends with a scoped build plan: the workflow mapped, the data assessed, the AI approach tested on a slice of your real content, and an honest verdict on whether it's worth building.
A defined product or module delivered to production for an agreed price and date. Best when the problem is already clear and what you need is execution you don't have to manage day to day.
A small senior team working alongside yours on a rolling basis — for roadmaps that keep moving, or for organisations building an internal capability they want mentored into place.
Bring the problem in whatever shape it's in. You'll leave with our read on whether it's a build, a buy, or something you shouldn't do at all.
