Notes – from the studio

Notes we keep while working

The four notes on the blog: buy or build, when the spreadsheet stops being enough, before the AI goes live, why the pilot never becomes production.

No marketing pieces here. These are the notes we take during the work, tidied up: the lists we fill in before a system goes live, the lessons from projects that stalled, the dull details that keep a thing running.

A new note goes up only when something concrete has piled up worth writing about. That is why there are few of them and they run long.

    Buy the product, or build the panel?

    Not every business needs custom software. A few plain questions that separate the cases where an off-the-shelf product is enough from the cases where building pays for itself.

    Why the pilot never becomes production

    The demo works, then the project stops. What stops it is rarely the model: it is ownership, real data, integration and the way back. Six places projects get stuck, and what to ask at each.

    Before the AI goes live

    There are questions worth answering before a model meets a customer. No legal register: an inventory, a log, a named owner and a switch. Twelve lines you can work through in an afternoon.
