A discovery memo on scoping a FoodTech product before a single line of code — the decisions we put on the table, the ones we recommended not making, and how we translated it for a non-technical sponsor.
Most studios quietly slip training projects into their client portfolio and hope nobody notices. We don't. Every build below was shipped against a public or training brief — which means every line is yours to inspect, every Lighthouse score is yours to re-run, every architectural decision is yours to audit. They're here because craft this specific is almost impossible to prove from paid work alone.
A portfolio that mixes paid engagements with training briefs tells you nothing useful. You can't tell which constraints were real, which deadlines mattered, which stakeholders had to be convinced. So we split them. The client engagements page is where we ship under real commercial pressure. The page you're reading now is where we ship when the only thing being tested is how we think. Both are honest about what they are — and pretending otherwise would waste your time and ours.
If you're deep-researching us because your project leans on a specific engineering discipline, this page is where the depth lives. Three types of buyer get the most out of these builds:
The buyer with a technical co-founder
You're about to forward a studio shortlist to a CTO who'll actually audit the work. These builds give your CTO something to chew on — architecture decisions, security reasoning, performance ceilings — in enough detail to form a real judgment.
The buyer with a niche problem
Your project needs one specific thing done well — an API contract, sub-second mobile performance, real motion craft, front-end security. Generic portfolio work can't prove any of those. A dedicated build can.
The buyer who wants receipts
You've been burned before by an agency that promised craft and shipped mediocrity. You want to audit the code yourself before the first call. These builds are live, open, and inspectable — no NDA required.
The reference builds above answer one question: can we think. The conversation that follows answers the one that actually matters: are we the right team for your specific problem. A 45-minute working session, focused on your situation. If we're a fit, you'll know by the end of the call. If we're not, we'll tell you — and point you toward the kind of team that is. Straight answers only, both ways.
