Not an exhaustive list. If it can be built, ask.
Most businesses run on more manual work than they need to.
In the last 2 years AI has widened what software can take over, from reading documents to drafting the reply. We build the systems that do that work, one engineer from the brief to production, so your time goes to the parts of the business only you can do.
The 3 we are asked for most. All 10 are on the services page, each with what you get and when it is not the right choice.
Not an exhaustive list. If it can be built, ask.
How it runs.
Every engagement takes the same 4 steps, and the first 2 are built to let you stop.

The brief
Tell us what you are building. The engineer who would build it reads it and answers within 2 business days: a fit, or a clear no with the reason.
-
01
Discovery
Not a build. We follow one piece of real work through the business and write down what we find: a systems map, a written scope and a fixed price. Yours to keep, whoever builds it.
-
02
The build
A working demo every week, so a week that produced nothing shows up that week. Decisions in writing the day they are made. Paid by phase, for work you have watched running.

03
Handover
The repository, the documentation and the running infrastructure, in your own accounts. Leave at any time and take everything with you.
If the discovery week was not worth its fee, say so on the last day and you do not pay it.
You keep the systems map and the scope either way. One engineer from the first conversation to production, with no account manager in between: you always know who wrote it, and you can ask them why.
Who builds it
Cristian Penarrieta
20 years of software, most of it for Silicon Valley companies. The person who reads your brief is the person who writes the code, and there is nobody in between.
