An AI software factory for mid-market

We build custom business software that replaces spreadsheets, automates manual work, and connects your existing systems.

For operators running $10M–$500M with no internal software team.

The close. The forecast. The report that eats Monday. AI does most of the building, so it takes a fraction of the time and cost of traditional development. A named architect answers for the outcome.

01 / The problem

Four problems we see again and again.

01 · Process fragility⌖

Spreadsheets are holding it together.

One person knows how Monday's report gets made.

02 · The 60% fit⌖

Your SaaS fits at sixty percent.

The other forty lives in side-tools and a weekly re-import.

03 · No integration⌖

Your systems don't talk to each other.

Integration lives in a person, a CSV and a calendar reminder.

04 · No single truth⌖

Three versions of the truth in every meeting.

Your senior people spend their time reconciling them.

02 / How it works

Capability Factory runs the lifecycle. You run your business.

  1. 01

    We map the work

    With your team, in your words, against a result you commit to.

  2. 02

    Our Capability Engine builds it

    AI does the building and testing. Your architect makes the calls.

  3. 03

    You see it working every Friday

    Working software every week, not a status report.

  4. 04

    It keeps fitting

    When your business changes, we change the software. While you're with us, you never maintain it.

Most of it is delivered by AI. None of it is decided by AI.

03 / Why it costs less

The labor got cheaper. The judgment didn't.

Then and now

Custom software used to mean a team of five to ten, eighteen months and a five-year lock-in. AI now does most of that labor. You pay for a named architect's judgment, a month at a time.

10:1

The labor of a team. The judgment of one accountable architect.

The case, with sources →
04 / What you get

Building used to be the risk. Waiting is the risk now.

What you get

A named architect who scopes the work, stands it up, and answers for the result. The software and its code are yours, and we keep it running while you're with us.

What you don't

No team to manage, no platform to be locked into, no five-year bet, and no AI making a single decision about your business.

Every quarter the spreadsheet stays is another quarter of work your people shouldn't be doing.

Show us the spreadsheet you'd be embarrassed to.

The bona fide application in cell hell — 20 tabs, a macro no one will admit to writing, and a VLOOKUP holding the month together.
