Compliance-first, not compliance-later
Audit logs, PII scoping, and kill switches wired before the first feature. Cheaper to add early than to bolt on when the regulator emails.
Twelve industries we've shipped in enough times to know their failure modes by name. Each one has a shape of solution that keeps working — and one we've stopped reaching for.
Auto-rotating through the twelve. Hover the rail to lock, or click one to explore. Each panel is a shape of failure we've already met.
Ship trust in week one.
Compliance and trust both have to ship at week one.
Payment rails, KYC pipelines, audit logs, and rate-limited APIs — built to survive the first regulator email.
reportable incidents in year one
“They shipped a fully audited ledger before we'd finished hiring our compliance lead.”
— Head of Product, Acme Pay
The pattern we reach for first, drawn as the thing it actually is. Hover for the details — tilt for the depth.
Ship trust in week one.
Payment rails, KYC pipelines, audit logs, and rate-limited APIs — built to survive the first regulator email.
Fail safely, always.
HIPAA-aware data models, clinician-written eval harnesses, and feature flags that are also kill switches.
Maps, payments, trust — one app.
Native location performance, payment-on-the-go, dispute flows, and OTA-updateable client apps.
Live at sub-second, always.
LL-HLS pipelines, edge-cached VOD, server-side ad insertion, and a moderation queue humans can actually keep up with.
Book, upsell, remember.
PSP-agnostic booking flows, multi-currency ledgers, ancillary bundling, and refund automation that respects the fare rules.
After enough shipped work, the same shapes surface — regardless of industry. The five we'd rebuild from scratch tomorrow.
Audit logs, PII scoping, and kill switches wired before the first feature. Cheaper to add early than to bolt on when the regulator emails.
CRDTs where they earn their keep, LWW where they don't. Two operators on the same order should never fight — or lose work.
Per-tenant schemas, per-tenant secrets, per-tenant migrations. One noisy neighbor should never wake anyone up.
Warehouses, delivery vans, transit stations — the network is not a given. We queue, sync, reconcile, close the day.
Idempotency keys, tiered retries, dispute flows that don't blame the customer. Payment stack you can page yourself for.
Twelve weeks, four gates, one contract: at every gate you can walk away. Nothing on this page is a promise we haven't kept before.
Ride along with your ops, read your incidents, sit with support. Map the failure modes before touching a repo.
Auth, RBAC, audit logs, CI, feature flags. The parts you don't write blog posts about — but that decide the ceiling.
A real vertical slice with real users, wired to metrics that matter. Kill switches ready. Rollback rehearsed once.
Runbooks, on-call rotation, architecture doc, tenure plan. We stay only as long as the value curve says to.
If we haven't shipped there yet, we'll tell you honestly on the first call. We don't fake expertise — we ramp for it.
