Studio log

What shipped, month by month.

Most companies publish case studies once a year. We publish the log instead — every launch, every change to how we work, and an honest note on what we are booking.

Bellwether 2.0 is live

Ten weeks with the Bellwether team, rebuilding the scheduling product around a single planning surface instead of four disconnected screens. Activation in the first quarter is up 38%.

  • One planning canvas replaced the calendar, list, board, and timeline views
  • Onboarding cut from eleven steps to four
  • Handover complete — Bellwether's two developers now own the repository

Priya joins as TypeScript engineer

We were waiting for the right person rather than the available one. Priya came from a fintech startup in Leawood and brought strict-mode TypeScript and a testing habit with her.

  • TypeScript engagements now run without a freelance bench
  • React and Vue both covered in-house
  • The team is four people, which is where it stays for now

Northpointe quoting tool, six weeks flat

A Laravel quoting tool for an insurance brokerage that had been running on a spreadsheet with 41 tabs. Kickoff to production in six weeks, exactly as quoted.

  • Quote turnaround down from two hours to four minutes
  • The spreadsheet is archived, not migrated — the scope said so
  • Built on infrastructure their one developer can operate

We stopped writing specifications

After a year of quietly not reading our own documents, we replaced the spec with a one-page scope and a deployed staging URL every Friday. Projects got shorter.

  • Scope documents capped at one page, permanently
  • Friday staging deploys from week two of every engagement
  • Average project length down by nine days

There is room in the log for what you are building.

Two engagements at a time means the calendar is real. If you want a slot this spring, the conversation should start now.
