Products
Two of the things we build, we also run.
Most of our work is a system the client owns and operates. These two are not. They are licensed annually, hosted and maintained by us, and budgetable as a line item rather than a project.
Both are in production today. Neither is a pilot.

For research centers
SimplyScholar
The operating layer for an NSF-funded center. Program site, researcher directory, publications, events, outreach, newsletters, and the annual report that currently takes a coordinator four weeks and fifty chased emails.
Priced to sit inside the award, so the operating layer is funded for the life of the grant instead of re-argued every year.
- In production
- Across research center sites at nine universities
- Since
- 2016, in the NSF Division of Materials Research
-
For cities
Service alerts
Tell a resident what happens on their block and when. Street sweeping, trash and recycling, leaf collection, snow. Matched to their address and their license plate, delivered by text, email, or push.
Multi-tenant, so a department gets its own branding, schedules, and message templates without a fork.
- In production
- Washington DC Department of Public Works
- Since
- 2017, without a gap

Why we own two products
Both started as one client's problem.
Neither was designed in a vacuum and then sold. Each one is a system we built for a real operation, kept running for years, and only then generalized, which is why the parts a buyer worries about are already there.
It also means we are the ones on call for them. When a research center's annual report is due, or a city has to tell forty thousand residents that sweeping is canceled, that is our problem and not a ticket the customer has to file.
Want to see one running?
Thirty minutes on a live system, not a slide deck. We will show you the parts that are unfinished as well.
