CASE_STUDY: 001 / A FORTUNE 500 CRUISE COMPANY

Savings,
Tracked
To The P&L.

3x
Extended since the first project
4-6wk
For each release

[READ_CASE_STUDY] arrow_right_alt
BUILD_FACTS
  • Started as one fixed-fee project and extended three times since
  • Each release has taken four to six weeks
  • Single sign-on through the company's own identity system, with role-based access
  • Fiscal year, carryover and currency rules built in and tested with the finance team
  • Runs in their environment, and their team owns the code
CASE_002 / AI in daily use

Long-term memory for an AI assistant

Our own production system

A five-stage retrieval pipeline that finds the right memory, not just a similar one: vector search and keyword search combined, weighted by recency, then reranked.

  • Five stages, replacing plain vector similarity
  • Meaning, exact terms and recency all count
  • Runs on SQLite, with no separate vector database to operate
CASE_003 / Web and products

How brands get cited by AI search

Our own research

We studied how 50 B2B brands appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and turned what we found into a repeatable method.

  • 50 B2B brands analyzed
  • A three-part method: consistent company facts, structured data, crawler access
CASE_004 / Web and products

The sales system we run on

Built for ourselves

In autumn 2026 we replaced a rented CRM with our own. It opens on one list of decisions, never sends an email without approval, and times every send and call to the other person's working hours.

  • In daily use since October 2026
  • More than 160 automated tests run before every release
  • Hosted and operated by us
CASE_005 / Growth and advisory

Engineering assessment for a company sale

A software business and its advisor

For the advisor running the sale of a software business, we assessed the product's engineering and wrote the integration and running-cost analysis that was shared with prospective buyers.

CASE_006 / Web and products

Websites we host and look after

Small businesses and nonprofits

We host and maintain the websites of small organizations, among them a beauty studio, a cinema, a foundation and a food brand, on servers we run and patch ourselves.

YOUR_PROJECT

The next one could be yours

Pick one problem. We tell you what it takes, in writing.

START WITH A CALL arrow_right_alt

We do not name clients. Everything above is real work, described without the details that would identify anyone.

How It
Runs

From the first call to handover, in five steps. You know the price before any work starts.

/05
01

A 30-minute call

We learn the problem and say plainly whether we are the right fit.

02

Discovery, where it is needed

For larger systems, a short fixed-fee discovery, so the price for the build is one we can stand behind.

03

Scope and price in writing

What will be built, by when and for how much, before any work starts.

04

Build, in releases you can use

Working software every few weeks, in your environment, tested with your people.

05

Handover and support

Code, documentation and access with you. Support by the month if you want it.
