Twelve platforms,planted in twelvedifferent soils.

Most studios ship one product — or ship yours and leave. We build vertical software and then run it: twelve live platforms across twelve sectors, on infrastructure we administer ourselves.

The plots · 12 varieties · all live today

Every row is a different industry.

Not twelve versions of one idea. Twelve products with different customers, different regulations and different failure modes — which is the whole point. Range is how fast you learn a domain.

The soil · what holds twelve plots up

Anyone can plant. Keeping twelve alive is the hard part.

This is the part most studios cannot show you, because most studios hand the thing over and walk away. Four layers, top to bottom.

  1. OSurface

    Twelve products, live and reachable

    Dealer ERP, job costing, clinical session logging, garment grading. Every one is deployed and open in a browser right now — click any plot above and check. Not a case study, not a concept, not a pitch deck.

  2. AControl plane

    One console that runs the whole fleet

    A single internal control plane covers every project: health, deploys, logs, database migrations, backups and approvals. Operating twelve platforms is only survivable because looking after one and looking after all of them is the same motion.

  3. BInfrastructure

    Self-hosted, and administered by us

    Every project runs its own database, auth, storage and edge functions on infrastructure we operate directly, behind our own reverse proxy, secrets manager and mail server. No per-seat platform bill scaling against us, and nothing about the stack we cannot open up and fix.

  4. CPractice

    AI-assisted, then verified

    AI writes a great deal of the code here, which only works because everything around it is checked: migrations are classified against the live schema before they run, releases pass a verification gate, and anything unmeasured is reported as unmeasured rather than guessed. Speed comes from the guardrails, not from skipping them.

Trial results · recorded 2026-08-03

What we measured, and what we won't claim.

A trial table prints the plots it counted and marks the rest insufficient. Everything below is checkable from this page in about two minutes — which is the only kind of number worth putting on one.

Uptime percentageWe monitor it; we will not market a figure you cannot audit

If a competitor's site quotes you a client count and an uptime figure, ask how you would verify either one. We would rather show you twelve running products and let you click every last one.

The ask · plot 13

Tell us whatyou're growing.

If you run an operation that off-the-shelf software almost fits, that is the gap every plot on this page was planted in. Tell us the work — what breaks today, who it is for, and roughly when you need it. You will get a straight answer about whether we are the right studio, including when we are not.
