Maintained software capabilities

Your team thinks big, as a human should.

Think of an issue that happens more than once every day. The Hornbill Mini is one box, custom-made to solve one or many repeatable problems. Next month, your team won't waste time fixing the same issues again:

  • Hosted, maintained and forever-improved by us, your friends in software.
  • Transparent decisions in Records of Design, with Bills of Materials kept out.
  • For strategic software initiatives made-and-kept exclusive to you.

Off-the-shelf never fits that well

The Hornbill Mini is custom-made for you.

The problem:

  • If something was made for everyone, it needs to be standardized. It stops fitting you.
  • Your company molds into something that was made by Silicon Valley. Losing what's special.
  • Nothing ever differentiates you. At best, you'll pay for the tools that everyone else can access.
  • When you want real outcomes, the solution needs to adapt as new problems show up.

The Hornbill Mini:

  • Built around the processes that you know will work. It goes beyond the industry norm.
  • Made for your business. You can adjust, make changes and customize to your liking.
  • You get tools that can actually support the gaps you know exist. The real advantage.
  • It's everything-software that adapts to your situation, when new needs arise.
Instruction manuals don't mean much

You don't need to figure it out alone.

The problem:

  • You hired external vendors because you knew the best outcome requires expertise.
  • They left you with instruction manuals that no one knows how to read.
  • When no one maintains the solution, it slowly rots away, back onto the corner-shelf.
  • Maintenance is an every-day task that never stops. Software is never complete.

The Hornbill Mini:

  • Focused on the outcome and problems that you want to fix. Not workflow design.
  • We're accountable for making sure that your Hornbill Mini stays useful over time.
  • Maintenance means forever improved. New things and old things are included.
  • When new things are needed, just issue the next request through KarinaAI.
In-house engineering is a nightmare

Software operations shouldn't distract you.

The problem:

  • Even if money wasn't an issue, recruiting and managing an engineer isn't what you want.
  • Every hire leads to an extra line-item in your books (HR costs, tools, servers and code).
  • The best engineers start their own businesses, or go for the best-paying software firms.
  • When the smart kid leaves, you're the ones left holding an instruction manual.

The Hornbill Mini:

  • Custom software capabilities that actually solve the problem when you need it to.
  • One invoice per month. No Bills of Materials, or back-and-forths necessary.
  • Reliable software that doesn't break without the hottest engineer at your firm.
  • Stays even when people leave. There's never a flight-risk left to worry about.

Keep your people focused

The in-house distraction is optional.

The Hornbill Mini keeps you focused on core business activities. We solve the repeatable problems. Your team should think big to deliver the best customer experience.

You know what the problem is:

  • Something bad keeps happening more than once every day.
  • You're on a clock and don't want to lose more time than necessary.
  • Software isn't something you're ready to manage in-house.
  • The best engineers aren't going to stay when someone offers more.
  • You need someone responsible, compliant and clear in how they document their decisions.

It won't happen again next month:

  • You get a repeatable solution that saves your department time.
  • The Hornbill Mini is exclusive and won't be resold to others.
  • Next month gets better without a new decision this week.
  • The server and code is forever-improved and hosted by us.
  • Optional: We'll manage copyright and legal compliance if owning the IP doesn't matter much to you.

No handover needed:

Exclusively Hosted & Maintained Development

The Hornbill Mini doesn't stop.

When requirements change, you get new capabilities inside of the Hornbill Mini. We don't separate old things from new things, because solutions can always improve.

Step 1: We get a clear definition of what done means

Tell us the problem, and the outcome you want.

By speaking to KarinaAI, our discovery agent helps to gather your requirements, constraints, and goals. You can start from scratch or customize capabilities from the Initiatives Directory.

  • The Initiatives Directory is there to help you hit the ground running. It's a list of research-backed opportunities to improve operations.
  • KarinaAI is there to ensure that we're responsive around-the-clock. Our people need sleep, Karina sets the right expectation.
  • The Capability Prospectus is the acceptance criteria that lets our team know when a Hornbill Mini is done.
Step 2: The Hornbill Mini is made just for you

You get the solution without hiring another person.

Agreement, Intake, and Acceptance. We'll then host the Hornbill Mini on dedicated servers that are compliant to your needs. Others won't have access to it because it's not off-the-shelf.

  • We'll custom-make the features that others missed. Your tools can stay connected and up-to-date, even as things change.
  • You get a Hornbill Mini hosted and improved, just for you. There's no need for an in-house department to check at 2am when servers crash.
  • No Bills of Material, and no contractual lock-in. You get a low-commitment access to a capability that your business already needs.
Step 3: We maintain, improve and document

The Hornbill Mini is never your problem to manage.

Even after we build the first, we continue to make it work. You get a dedicated point of contact that catches the issue early.

That's a lot of paperwork! Biweekly is standard, subject to terms.

Because code is only 20% of the problem:

  1. Records of Design: Clear authorship trails matter most in the age of AI and LLMs. We note down every rationale behind the design decision.
  2. User Documentation: If people can't use it, then it has no value. This keeps all endpoints and capabilities simple and easy to use for humans and services.
  3. AX Mapping Keys: The future is agent-driven (says Forbes). Our proprietary approach ensures that when the time comes, you're not stuck in the 1990s.
  4. Capacity & Process: Every two weeks, we'll report what we did, what we intend to do next, and whether that still matches your priorities.

The hornbill Mini is more than code

Your friend in software.

The Hornbill Mini is packed with a predictable once-per-month price. It comes included with transparent decisions. The simplicity of a box from your friends in software.

  1. No Bills of Materials charged.

    We charge one invoice per month. When a supplier bills-up or costs spillover. That's our responsibility, and not yours.

    • Downstream suppliers can't big-up the bill.
    • Your fee is a simple "send and done."
    • Optional: The priority lane is available.

  2. We document decisions, not code.

    When compliance or due-dilligence asks why the code is the way it is, you'll have an answer because we keep note.

    • Built around the compliance you need.
    • The simplicity of a box with clear history.
    • Optional: We can host public docs for you.

  3. We're the point of accountability.

    We catch and fix issues early. You get to save your team the heartache of needing to debug at 5pm on a Friday.

    • We stay accountable to the outcome.
    • One person to trust when things change.
    • Coming soon: KarinaAI is always available.
