What we believe

What we believe

Solve one problem first

We do not sell transformation roadmaps. We start with the most pressing problem and build something usable. If it works, we move forward.

We use our own products

Products such as KIKU, AIDaily, and GEO Checker run in production every day. We use the same approach for the systems we build for clients.

No client lock-in

We deliver source code and operating instructions. We choose open-source or replaceable technologies so you can hand the system over to someone else whenever you want.

FDE · Forward Deployed Engineer

We take an FDE approach to projects

FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) is a way of working pioneered by Palantir and widely adopted in recent years by AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic. The engineers writing the code work directly at client sites and within their workflows, learning about the problems as they build and deploy the system.

FDE comparison: on the left, requirements become distorted through repeated handoffs; on the right, an engineer sits beside the client to review the system together
Traditional outsourcing

Requirements pass through multiple hands

  • Sales gathers requirements → A PM writes specifications → Outsourced engineers build to those specifications
  • Each handoff loses some meaning, and the result is often “not what I wanted”
  • Sign a large contract and write full specifications first, then wait months to see results
  • Who understands the system after delivery? Often, only the documentation remains
FDE

The people building it work beside you

  • Engineers look directly at your workflows, Excel files, and data
  • No need to relay requirements: the people writing the code hear what you say directly
  • Start with a small, usable version and improve it as you use it in real work
  • The same team takes responsibility for deployment, training, and ongoing operations and maintenance

For small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), the benefit of FDE is practical: you can bring a system into daily work without first building an IT department or writing a complete specification.
