NZ · AU · UK · US · Ten practices

A broad practice, deep where it matters.

What follows is the full surface of what we take on. Some areas we go deep on every quarter, others come up less often, and we will tell you honestly which is which. We lead with the work, not the tooling.

Ten disciplines we can ship to production.

10: core practices
6: adjacent specialisms
16+: sectors served

01 / Custom software

Custom software

Full-stack platforms, internal tools, embedded firmware and the integration spines that hold them together.

Bespoke software when the problem is too specific for SaaS. Engineered to last when it has to live in production for years. We write the code, ship it, and hand it over running.

02 / AI & machine learning

AI & machine learning

Custom-trained networks, LLM orchestration, retrieval architectures and computer vision — selected for ROI, not novelty.

We train small custom networks when they out-perform the API. We build RAG pipelines when retrieval is the bottleneck. We wrap evaluation harnesses around anything that makes a decision. AI is a tool; engineering is the practice.

Custom-trained neural networks
Large language model applications
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
Forecasting & classification
Document AI, OCR & extraction
Recommendation & ranking systems
Model fine-tuning & evaluation
MLOps & inference deployment

03 / Agentic systems

Agentic systems

Multi-agent pipelines that perform end-to-end work autonomously — research, decisions, writing, review.

We design and ship agentic workflows that replace whole knowledge-work pipelines. Researchers, decision-makers, writers, reviewers — each a specialist agent with its own tools, evaluators and a kill switch. We deploy them with the oversight to use them safely in production.

Multi-agent orchestration runtimes
Tool-use & function-calling design
Agent evaluation & drift detection
Editorial / review pipelines
Customer-service & ops agents
Human-in-the-loop oversight UX

And the rest of the surface.

Seven more disciplines we ship to production. Each has its own detail page with the stacks, the bullets and the honest read on how often it comes up.

Adjacent disciplines we also do well.

Computer vision & inspection
Custom-trained vision models for quality control, OCR, satellite & drone imagery, medical imaging, document understanding.
BI dashboards & data viz
Real-time operational dashboards, financial reporting, custom visualisation — we build the dashboard people actually open.
Email & comms automation
Transactional email at scale, marketing automation, deliverability tuning, complaint & bounce handling, sequence orchestration.
Search & relevance
From a basic Postgres FTS to a full Elasticsearch / vector hybrid with relevance tuning and analytics.
Document & PDF automation
Generate invoices, contracts, reports, statements. Extract structured data from inbound PDFs. e-signing integration.
Headless & web platforms
Headless CMS, marketplace platforms, e-commerce, multi-tenant SaaS, real-time collaboration.

How we engage

From a two-week thesis to a multi-quarter build.

We take on three to five engagements at a time so each gets real depth. Pick the shape that fits the problem, or tell us the constraint and we will tell you which one it is.

Start a conversation

01
Two-week sprint
From NZ$25k
A focused thesis on a specific problem. Written diagnosis, recommendation, optional prototype.
02
Quarterly build
NZ$60k–$220k
A scoped delivery — full discovery through to running software in production, with handover docs.
03
Multi-quarter platform
NZ$200k+
Building or rebuilding a platform that lives in production for years. Phased delivery, weekly drops.
04
Retainer
Monthly
After delivery, a light-touch retainer for monitoring, security updates and incremental feature work.

Tell us what you're trying to ship. We'll tell you honestly if we're a fit.

Send the problem, the constraint and the deadline. We reply within 24 hours.
