We build the systems a business runs on.
We learn how your business works, then build the software around it, from the screens your staff use all day to the reports you make decisions with. What we hand over is finished and ready for your team to use.
Based in Georgetown, Guyana. We reply within one business day, wherever you are.
What a business stands on
Look at a company from the street and you see its offices, floor above floor, and its delivery truck on the road. What it stands on is out of sight. Beneath every business lies a layer of records, of what was sold and what is owed, of what was promised and by when, and every decision made above it rests on that layer being true.
Most of the time nobody checks. A figure is copied from one spreadsheet to the next, a total is rounded, a date is remembered rather than read, and the business carries on, standing on ground nobody has tested.
We build that layer, and we build it to be checked. A result in mathematics is accepted only when its proof is written out so that someone else can check every step. We hold the systems we build to the same standard, so that whenever anyone asks where a figure came from, you can show them.
Habits we keep on every build
Each one keeps that layer true in a different way.
Every figure can be traced to its source.
When something goes wrong, the right person hears about it.
Nothing is paid or reported until the totals agree.
What we build
Sound records are only the start. On top of them, software can now do much more than it could a few years ago. A phone line can answer calls at any hour, in English or Spanish, and hand the difficult ones to a person. A camera at the warehouse door can count every pallet that leaves, and years of sales figures can help you decide what each branch should order next month. We take on work as small as a tool for one person and as large as a system a whole company relies on.
One system for your whole business.
Orders, stock, customers and money are kept together, so everyone sees the same numbers at the same time, on the phones and computers they already have. People see only what their job needs, and every change records who made it. The work carries on even when the internet goes down.
More on custom softwareAn assistant that works from your own documents.
It can reply to a customer at nine at night using your prices and policies, and point your staff to the exact page of a long manual. When it is not sure of an answer, it passes the question to a person.
More on assistantsRoutine jobs that run on their own.
Reports go out on time and late payments are followed up, without anyone having to remember. Each job keeps a record of what it did, and anything unusual is held for a person to decide.
More on automationSpreadsheets and reports that check every total.
We build budgets, forecasts and month-end reports, and any total that stops matching turns red straight away. If you have a spreadsheet that nobody dares to touch, we can make it safe to change.
More on Excel and reportingA single project often needs more than one of these, so we build each to work with the others and with the systems you already use.
More on what we buildOur own products
Each one is live today. Open any of them and judge the standard for yourself.

Footing
Months of bank statements in one spreadsheet that adds up to the cent.
True Cost
Money decisions in Guyana, worked out before anyone signs.
Research in mathematics and finance
We hold our own research to the same standard. On 12 October 2026 the OEIS, the reference mathematicians use for integer sequences, published five new terms that our programs established for one of Paul Erdős's problems. Two programs, written in different ways, searched every number up to 20 trillion, and their answers matched. We have also fitted the US Treasury's yield curve for every trading day since 1990, and we can use a curve like this to show what your own loans would cost if interest rates rose or fell.
How we work
Every project goes through the same five steps, whatever its size.
- 01
Understanding
We talk to the people who do the work and see how it is done today, including the shortcuts they have found.
- 02
Plan
We set out what we will build, and how we will both know it is working.
- 03
Build
You see it working early and at each stage, so decisions are made with the real thing in front of you.
- 04
Handover
The finished system goes live in your business, and your team is shown how to run it.
- 05
Aftercare
Fixing anything that does not match the plan is part of the job. When you want more, we already know how your system works.

- A written guide your team can follow without us
Stratum ICS
Stratum is the word geologists use for one of the layers of rock that the ground is made of. ICS stands for Integrated Core Systems. Together, the name describes what we build: the systems a business stands on, often without noticing them.
We work by call and message. Guyana shares New York's time for most of the year, so anywhere from Toronto to Houston, our working day is never more than two hours from yours.
In Georgetown it is
