Case-study archive
The whole body of work, told in depth. Names withheld.
Our strongest work is for clients who can't be turned into a logo wall: campaigns, nonprofits, and companies with real reasons for discretion. So every study here goes deep on the problem and the build, and stays quiet on the name. Breadth is the point. Browse all of it.

building and operating since 2005
Membership & advocacy · Organization-wide platform
One operating platform for a 600,000-supporter organization.
Replaced seven disconnected tools with a single platform. Web and native mobile from one codebase.

Four department systems that finally agree on who someone is.
A shared identity spine and written data doctrines unifying CRM, HR, field ops, and pledge systems into one truth.
Communications · Deliverability engineering
A self-hosted email operating system, built to survive Gmail.
Ten warmed sending domains, warm-up state machines, a journey engine, and compliance enforced in code.
Faith community · Domain-native CRM
A parish CRM that actually understands the liturgical year.
An Orthodox-native stewardship and management platform: sacramental records, Paschal calendar logic, pastoral confidentiality.
AI SaaS · Strategic communications
A multi-tenant AI platform that drafts on-message, inside the lines.
A RAG SaaS for strategic comms: generates position papers and talking points grounded in an org's own knowledge base, with a safe/caution/off-limits boundary classifier.
Govtech · Legislative analytics
A legislative-intelligence system that reads how a whole chamber votes.
Ingests bills, votes, finance, and lobbying data and computes voting-pattern analytics: agreement scores, bloc detection, loyalty and strategic-absence scoring.
AI content · Social publishing
An AI content engine that drafts, schedules, and ships social, on voice.
Generates posts, member stories, replies, and video scripts with an LLM, then publishes to X on a schedule with analytics and a voice-QA gate.
Research · Survey & propensity modeling
A survey-research platform that ships models, not raw responses.
Versioned survey instruments, single-completion response tokens keyed to a voter file, and a propensity-model deliverable, respondent data compartmentalized by design.
B2B procurement software · Legacy rebuild
A business-critical sourcing platform, lifted off a dying stack.
A ~278-table Microsoft-SQL/IIS application rebuilt onto Laravel, React, and Postgres, then run as a managed service.
Advanced energy · Brand, web & data partner
A brochure site turned into an investor-grade presence.
A custom site with an interactive grid map and a gated investor data room, plus an ongoing strategy-and-data partnership.
Consumer mobile · Geospatial discovery
A statewide discovery app that gamifies 16,000 landmarks.
A cross-platform mobile app turning a 16,000-point historical-marker dataset into a GPS check-in game: PostGIS, badges, streaks.
Broadcast · Streaming
A 24/7 radio station with a scheduling brain of its own.
An 'app-as-brain' rotation engine over a broadcast stack: song-lifecycle logic and DMCA compliance enforced in code.
Media infrastructure · Self-hosted video
A self-hosted video platform, owned end to end.
A Vimeo-style platform: HLS adaptive streaming, an FFmpeg transcode worker, domain-restricted embeds, team RBAC.
Nonprofit · Media, donations & managed care
One maintained platform where content, giving, and email connect.
Platform, print-on-demand store, validated payments, email nurture, and prospect-data engineering, under managed care.
Real-time media · Livestream & chat
A livestream-and-chat platform rebuilt right after the audit failed it.
A real-time streaming + moderated-chat system re-architected from a 2,300-line monolith into modular components after a security and performance audit.
Agency operations · Billing integrity
The audit trail that keeps 30 sites honest against the invoice.
Reconciles WordPress activity across ~30 managed sites against tracked time to surface over-billing, under-billing, and scope creep.
Operations consulting · Publishing
An operations audit, an automation plan, and a clean shutdown.
For a book publisher: an AI-native production-operations audit and automation proposal, then a managed wind-down of a five-site web estate.
Growth advisory · Nonprofit fundraising
A lead-gen engine for a fundraising consultancy.
Discovery, a graded marketing audit, and a phased proposal fusing a podcast, an AI scorecard tool, and a book into one lead funnel.
National advocacy · Multi-state web app
A 50-state advocacy platform that routes each supporter to their state.
A national umbrella app: 50 data-driven state pages, double opt-in signup, a referral system, and live momentum maps.
Political campaign · Full-service technology operations
The entire technology operation for a statewide campaign.
Website, donations, CRM, email/SMS, merch, and events, plus deep data: voter-file matching and a 35-million-row intelligence system.
Advocacy · Sites & campaign assets
Advocacy sites and creative assets across a movement.
A self-hosted advocacy site with live signups, a design-forward education microsite, and a satirical browser game.
Advocacy marketing · Direct-mail-to-web funnel
A print-to-web recruitment funnel that turns cards into supporters.
A designed direct-mail conversion system: emotion-front/agency-back cards driving a QR doorway into a multi-tenant landing engine wired to the supporter platform.
Campaigns & causes · Build, integrate, launch
We build, integrate, and launch. Fast, across the map.
A gubernatorial campaign, a congressional race, a big-city nonprofit: sites built, stacks integrated, launched on deadline.
Civic tech · Accountability & mapping
A public accountability roster with the districts drawn in.
A statewide pledge site: a filterable candidate roster, interactive district maps, and CRM-backed pledge intake.
Also under management
Plus the systems we quietly keep running.
Beyond the builds above, we host, monitor, secure, and maintain a roster of production sites and platforms under standing care: a multi-district water utility, campaign and advocacy sites, faith and media organizations, and small-business platforms. Unglamorous, and exactly the point: someone is accountable when it breaks.
