# We design with your context in mind

Human-guided, AI-boosted

We help organizations shape knowledge and technology solutions through an open, iterative, and context-sensitive process grounded in real operational needs.

## How we work

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our role is to connect technical possibilities with the realities of your organization so that knowledge systems, workflows, and AI-supported tools are useful, trusted, and sustainable.

### Start from real requirements

We begin with your goals, constraints, and existing ways of working. That means understanding what knowledge matters, where current bottlenecks are, and where technology can support people without adding unnecessary complexity.

### Build in short learning cycles

We work iteratively so teams can test ideas early, review progress often, and adapt as the project evolves. This helps reduce risk, improve quality, and keep decisions connected to what works in practice.

### Support adoption and change

We do not stop at delivery. We help teams integrate new tools and practices through documentation, coaching, piloting, and change management so the work can be adopted with confidence.

## AI usage with clear guidelines

Quality and accountability

We use AI where it creates clear value, but we do it with internal guidelines, human oversight, and responsibility for the final outcome.

### AI supports the work

We use AI tools to accelerate tasks such as drafting, coding, testing, extraction, summarization, and structured content workflows when they can improve speed and consistency.

### People set the direction

Our team defines the architecture, project context, data boundaries, and quality expectations. AI supports the process, but it does not replace judgment, responsibility, or domain understanding.

### Guidelines and review stay in place

We work with internal usage guidelines for AI-assisted delivery, and everything produced with AI is reviewed, refined, and validated by experienced professionals before it reaches a client.

## Open, practical, and context-aware

Whenever possible, software developed by us is released under open source licenses (e.g. AGPLv3, MIT), and project outputs such as reports or learning materials may be shared under the most appropriate Creative Commons license. This reflects our commitment to the Principles for Digital Development.

## What we use

We rely on open source tools in our daily work, both to run our own operations and to build practical, transparent solutions for the organizations we support.

- **Rocket.Chat**: Our asynchronous messaging application for spontaneous chats, discussions, and reminders.
- **Nextcloud**: Our go-to application to create, store, and share documents.
- **GitLab Community Edition**: The platform we use to manage software delivery, agile work, and knowledge management projects.
