Case studies, research and perspectives.

Every engagement gets written up: the state we found, what we built, what changed, and what is still open. Research covers the parts of the problem that come up on every project.

Case study

Four systems of record, none of them agreeing

A seaweed supply operation running from Korean farms and factories to U.S. warehouses kept its truth in four disconnected spreadsheets. Discovery found 25 places the sources disagreed and 34 questions nobody had answered.

Case study

The archive existed. Nobody could search it.

Decades of pages sat as scanned images on a server nobody queried. Turning them into records meant extraction, a human review queue and an audit trail, inside a network with no route to the outside world.
