Web systems and mobile apps
Can you build a system around how we already work?
Yes. We start by learning your processes, then design the system to fit them rather than forcing you into a generic product.
Will my website work on phones?

Design

Can I give feedback on designs?
Yes. We share drafts, collect your feedback and revise until you approve the final version.
Research, data and AI
What research support do you offer?
We can carry out research from scratch (design, tools, analysis and reporting), write research proposals, literature reviews and reports, and prepare manuscripts for journal submission.
Will you write my proposal, report or manuscript for me?
We work with you. We help with design, structure, analysis, writing and formatting, but the research, data and conclusions stay yours and you remain the author. We never fabricate data or results.
Which data collection tools and software do you use?
KoboToolbox, ODK and Google Forms for data collection, and SPSS, R, Python and Excel for cleaning, analysis and charts.
Can you build dashboards from our data?
Yes. We clean and analyse your data and present it in dashboards and reports that your team can use.
Do you work on AI and data science projects?
Yes. We build practical projects such as predictive models, classification and automation, and we can run AI awareness sessions so your team understands what the tools can and cannot do.
Can you build a SaaS product for me?
Yes. We take a SaaS idea from planning to a working first version with user accounts and the features you need, and can add subscriptions, an admin dashboard and integrations.
Do you offer training?
Yes. We train teams in SPSS and data analysis, KoboToolbox and ODK data collection, research methods and proposal writing, and the basics of data science and AI.
Health technology
What can you build for the health sector?
Examples include mobile data collection tools, records and registers, reporting dashboards and appointment systems, always built around your programme’s needs.
How do you handle sensitive data?
We use protected logins, role-based access and careful data handling, and we agree data protection requirements with you at the start of the project.
