We started in 2019 as a nine-person delivery consultancy with two banking clients and one recurring diagnosis. Programmes were not failing on engineering talent. They were failing upstream: requirements nobody could test, quality nobody could evidence, architecture nobody trusted by the second quarter.
So we built the tools we kept wishing existed, proved them on live client programmes before selling a single licence, and kept the consultants who understood why they were needed. That order matters — the software came out of the work, not the other way round.
