03Principles

Pragmatic before dogmatic.

We advocate sovereignty, open-source and self-hosting. But we start from your reality: managed VPS included when it makes more sense.

  1. 01

    Genuinely custom

    Built around your real processes, not a repainted template. Clean, documented code that lasts.

  2. 02

    Self-hosting when you want it

    We advocate sovereignty and open-source, and can deploy everything at your place. Prefer we run a VPS? We handle that too.

  3. 03

    The right model, not subscription by default

    Per product: purchase, lifetime license or SaaS. We pick what makes sense for you, not what maximizes recurring revenue.

  4. 04

    Local AI

    When relevant, AI runs on our own models via Ollama, not a third-party AI API you hand your data to.

04Method

A simple, square way of working.

No black box on the process either. You see where things stand at every step.

  1. 01

    Framing

    We clarify the real need, the scope and what truly matters.

  2. 02

    Design

    Architecture, mockups, technical choices, decided with you.

  3. 03

    Build

    Clean, documented code, shipped in visible increments.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Into production on your infra or a VPS we operate.

  5. 05

    Follow-up

    We train your teams, document everything, and stay reachable.
