Work

Systems running in real businesses, and what each one replaced.

Every entry here is a system that was built and is in use. Open one to see how it works, stage by stage, and what changed for the business running it. Most clients are described rather than named, because naming one takes their written permission and we ask for it per engagement.

Manufacturing and distribution

Customers get an answer at any hour, in the language they asked in.

Why this page is short

Every figure on this page traces to something we measured.

This page once carried claims that described the work inaccurately. They came down in an audit of our own copy, and each one went back up only when its numbers could be traced to something measured. A case study you cannot check is worth nothing to you, and one that turns out to be wrong costs us more than it ever earned.
