Our Process
From niche to autonomous system
Five deliberate phases. No shortcuts. We don't start building until we understand the industry better than most people in it.
Niche Selection
We choose - or are offered - a vertical industry
We look for industries with high operational repetition, owner-dependent workflows, and no purpose-built software. Where the software that should exist either doesn't, or was built for enterprise at 50x the price.
- Industries with manual-heavy daily operations
- Businesses where the owner is the single point of failure
- Markets with hundreds or thousands of similar operators
- Spaces where generic SaaS creates more work than it removes
Real example - Flypark
For Flypark, we were introduced to off-airport parking in Auckland. An operator running a multi-million dollar business on WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and 3:30am alarm clocks.
Deep Research
Online data + direct industry interaction
We don't build from assumptions. We study the niche until we understand daily operations better than most people in the industry. Online research. Operator interviews. Review mining. Competitive analysis. Regulatory landscape.
- Customer review sentiment analysis across platforms
- Operator workflow mapping - every touchpoint, every decision
- Industry economics: pricing models, margins, seasonality
- Competitive audit: what exists, what's missing, what's broken
- Direct conversations with operators and frontline staff
Real example - Flypark
We analysed hundreds of parking operator reviews, mapped the complete daily operations timeline (3:30am-11pm), and identified 47 distinct manual touchpoints. We found that 80% of the owner's day was spent on communication that could be automated.
Problem Architecture
Map the operational complexity and find root causes
Every industry has surface problems and root causes. We model the dependency chains, communication flows, and failure modes to find the leverage points where automation creates the most value.
- Dependency chain analysis - who depends on who for what
- Communication flow mapping - every message, every channel, every trigger
- Exception taxonomy - categorise every type of thing that goes wrong
- Automation opportunity scoring - impact × frequency × feasibility
Real example - Flypark
In parking: the owner was the single point of failure for 14 different operational decisions. No system tracked booking state. No system detected exceptions. No system sent proactive communication. The root cause wasn't "no software" - it was "no operational state model."
System Build
AI-powered software - production-grade from day one
We build complete systems - not MVPs that demo well and fail in production. Event-driven architectures, multi-model AI pipelines, real payment integrations, comprehensive test suites, and operational dashboards designed for actual daily use.
- Event-driven architecture with deterministic state machines
- Multi-model AI pipeline: classification, enrichment, decision, execution
- Real integrations: payment, communication, maps, flight tracking
- Role-based access control with complete audit logging
- Mobile-first customer experience, desktop-first operations
- 200+ automated tests - unit, integration, and end-to-end
Real example - Flypark
Flypark: 30+ screens, 15+ API routes, Stripe payment orchestration, Twilio/SendGrid communication, AI exception detection, customer portal, operations dashboard, capacity planning, incident management. 216 tests passing. Zero lint errors. Production-ready.
Deploy & Scale
One product, many operators, compounding value
Deploy to the first operator with supervised onboarding. Iterate with real operational data. Then scale across the niche - every business with the same problem gets the same solution, refined by every deployment.
- Supervised 2-4 week bedding-in period with first operator
- Real-world iteration based on operational feedback
- Prospect identification across global markets
- Repeatable deployment playbook for rapid scaling
- Each deployment compounds domain expertise into the product
Real example - Flypark
We identified 20+ off-airport parking operators across New Zealand, Australia, UK, and USA - all running identical manual operations. Same problem, same solution, different addresses. Prospect list growing weekly.
