For municipal, provincial, and federal teams evaluating a build during procurement. Fixed-price, milestone-billed custom software — accessible, bilingual, and Canadian-hosted — where you own 100% of the source code, data, and IP. No per-seat licensing. No renewal lock-in.
// What an evaluator gets
Canadian-incorporated. $5M insurance coverage available on award. Working prototype before you commit.
Commercial off-the-shelf software rents you a seat and keeps the keys. We build the opposite. On final payment you own 100% of the source code, the data, and the intellectual property — outright.
That means no per-seat licensing, no annual renewal you can be held hostage by, and no vendor that can be acquired, sunset, or repriced out from under a program your residents depend on. If you ever want to take the system to another developer, you can.
For a public body, ownership is the difference between a budget line that ends and a subscription that compounds forever. Custom builds also meet your exact requirements — no “almost-fits” COTS gap papered over with a spreadsheet.
Accessibility is not a retrofit. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA conformance from the first screen — semantic structure, keyboard navigation, colour contrast, focus states, and screen-reader support — so the software meets public-sector accessibility obligations on day one.
Bilingual delivery is built into the architecture, not bolted on. We can deliver full English/French parity — every screen, label, and document — so the public experience is equal in both official languages.
We dogfood it: this site is built to the same accessibility bar. See our accessibility statement.
We're a Canadian-incorporated company based in Vancouver, BC. For programs with data-residency requirements, we can host your system entirely within Canadian regions so citizen and operational data stays in the country.
Residency and hosting arrangements are confirmed per engagement to match your specific policy requirements.
A custom build that meets the exact requirement — with a working prototype committees can click through before any commitment.
We map the requirement against how your team actually operates — current systems, the gaps a COTS product would leave, and the outcomes the committee needs to see.
Before any award decision, we build a clickable prototype of the solution. Evaluators and end-users see and click the real thing — not a slide deck of promises.
Milestone-billed against a fixed scope agreed up front. No hourly surprises. Each milestone is a working, reviewable deliverable.
We document the system and train your staff so the knowledge lives with you, not with us. You are never locked out of software you paid for.
Full source code, data, and infrastructure handed over on final payment. Ongoing support is optional — never a condition of keeping the system running.
Every build ships with a documented security baseline. We are straight about where we are: our CyberSecure Canada certification is in progress, and the controls below are how we operate today.
Data is encrypted on the wire and in storage as standard on every build.
Least-privilege access by role, so people see only what their job requires.
Who did what, when. An immutable activity trail your auditors can review.
Security is handled through a written, reviewable policy — not improvised per project.
Insurance: $5M coverage available on award. We provide certificates of insurance as part of contracting, sized to the engagement.
Anonymized for now — named case studies and logos are being added as client permissions are confirmed.
Public procurement
A capability we have built and run in-house: ingests public RFPs, scores fit against capabilities, drafts response sections from a library of past wins, and tracks win-rate over time. An example of the registry/scoring systems we can build — not a delivered client engagement.
Compliance & audit
Policy library, attestations, evidence collection, and an immutable audit log — so twelve months of activity can be walked through on a single screen during an external review.
Education / training
A custom learning platform for a private college: course delivery, lessons, assessments, and credential issuance, with a structure built to run in full English/French parity.
Reserved
A named build with logo and outcomes lands here as soon as written client permission is confirmed.
Straight answers to the questions evaluators raise during a procurement.
You do. On final payment the client owns 100% of the source code, the data, and the IP outright — no per-seat licensing, no renewal lock-in. You can host it yourself or take it to another developer at any time.
Yes. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA conformance from the first screen — semantic structure, keyboard navigation, colour contrast, focus states, and screen-reader support — so it meets public-sector accessibility obligations on delivery.
Yes. Bilingual delivery is built into the architecture, not bolted on. We can deliver full English/French parity across every screen, label, and document.
We are a Canadian-incorporated company based in Vancouver, BC, and can host your system entirely within Canadian regions to meet data-residency requirements. Hosting arrangements are confirmed per engagement.
Every build ships with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, audit logging, and a documented security policy. Our CyberSecure Canada certification is in progress. We do not currently hold SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, or HECVAT.
Public-sector work is fixed-price and milestone-billed against a scope agreed up front. Before any award decision we can build a clickable prototype so evaluators see the solution rather than a slide deck. Insurance: $5M coverage available on award.
We build it, we document it, and we train your people on it — so the day we walk away, nothing breaks and nobody is locked out. You paid for it. You own it.
