Agentic development is 2-4x faster. We price it that way.
I read a piece recently predicting the collapse of the traditional GTM stack. One line stuck: "There's probably a lighter, more purpose-built solution that could handle the record-keeping function at a fraction of the cost. It might not exist yet, but it's coming." It exists. We built it. Here's what we learned.

For over 12 years, our business model has been straightforward: time and materials billing based on developer hours. While others competed on price with offshore teams, we competed on our ability to solve complex problems in highly regulated industries, hitting impossible deadlines time and time again. We became the team enterprises called when they couldn't afford to fail – or when they’d already tried and it didn't work.

Most enterprise DXP failures stem from a single architectural flaw: fragmented codebases. A monorepo enforces integration discipline, reduces costs, and enables AI-driven personalization. Without it, your platform is at risk of collapse. If you’re responsible for delivering a scalable customer platform, here’s why foregoing a monorepo architecture is a strategic liability.

Design Systems are all the rage these days, but the sad fact is that most of them stall out due to a) the inherent complexity of organizations (NOT software), b) a lack of experience in the adoption and evolution of a design system, and c) the workflow and cultural changes across designers and developers. To help think through goal setting and strategies to avoid failure and ensure mission-critical strategic success, here are 6 failure modes and 4 reasons why you need to overcome them.

Frontend: nouns in flux, / Backend: verbs drive hidden tasks, / Monorepos thrive.
