ANANSI

Our approach

We ask a lot of
questions first.

Listen / Define / Build / Refine
An exploded architectural study with floor plans and white model components aligned in layers

Two weeks of them, in fact, before anyone writes code. It's how we avoid building the wrong thing beautifully.

The four
stages

How a project
actually goes.

Understand the practice

We sit with your team and watch a real project move. The tools, the hand-offs, the spreadsheet somebody built in 2019 that everyone still depends on.

What takes shape

A map of how work moves today, a look at your real data, and a straight recommendation: fix the setup, connect two tools, or build.

Design the workflow

Together we decide what it does, what it talks to and what it should feel like to use. You click through a prototype before we commit to anything.

What takes shape

An agreed data model, clickable prototype, scope and acceptance tasks.

Build with your team

We build in stages, testing each one on a real project with real selections. Your designers' complaints shape the details, which is the point.

What takes shape

A working pilot using a checked project dataset, tested with the people who use it.

Put it into practice

We get it ready for Monday morning, train the team, write it all down and agree what support looks like. When the practice changes, the software can change with it.

What takes shape

Migration notes, team training, documentation, export instructions and a support agreement.

Start small

One workflow
first.

Workflow discovery

Two weeks / $6,000

Interviews, a map of how things work now and a look at your data. You get a recommendation and a defined first step before you commit to anything bigger.

A bounded pilot

6–10 weeks

One workflow, one real project, a handful of users. Usually $30,000 to $60,000 after discovery, and the fee is fixed before we start.

Handover & support

Defined at the start.

Documentation, training, your data in a format you can take anywhere, and the code is yours. Hosting and ongoing support are quoted separately.

Find a sensible starting point

Before we begin

Questions
people ask first.

Ask us something else

No. "This takes someone a day every week and it shouldn't" is enough to start. We'll turn it into a scope together.

Where to start

Tell us where
the retyping happens.

Describe the task your team dreads and we'll tell you whether it's a setup fix, a connection or a build.
