Methodology
Start with one process.
A useful digital service begins with a specific administrative task: what a person needs to submit, what an officer needs to review, what decision is recorded and what the applicant needs to know next.
Rather than compiling large, generic requirement catalogs, we analyze a single transaction. This clarifies dependencies, exposes real workflow bottlenecks, and determines data storage needs before committing to software.
Working Method & Outputs
| Task / Stage | Deliverable Output |
|---|---|
| Understand one process | Short workflow map |
| Define the minimum useful service | MVP scope |
| Build a demonstrator | Applicant form and review dashboard |
| Review constraints | Data, security and approval questions |
| Decide what follows | Implementation proposal, if appropriate |
Technical & Operational Principles
Guidelines we enforce to ensure services remain accessible, secure, and locally owned.
Data Sovereignty & Local Hosting
Small administrations need full ownership of citizen data. Our solutions are designed to be self-hosted on local virtual machines, direct municipal hardware, or local intranets, avoiding reliance on multi-tenant SaaS clouds.
Low-Bandwidth Execution
We enforce a strict core JavaScript budget of under 15KB. By using native browser forms and lightweight code, pages render instantly and securely over congested 2G/3G networks and satellite links.
Offline-First Draft Cache
Unstable connections should not lead to data loss. The portal utilizes client-side caching to auto-save form progress, allowing applicants to fill details offline and sync once connection is restored.
Local Capacity Handover
A system is only sustainable if the community can run it. We avoid complex frameworks so that local IT staff can maintain, audit, and modify the code without needing external consultancy contracts.
Open Standards & Zero Lock-In
All code is built using plain SQL databases and standard HTML5. The host organisation retains full repository ownership and license freedom, ensuring zero vendor dependency.
