Systems that hold up — and that can be audited.
Hardening, testing and QA, legacy modernization, project rescue and accessibility and compliance audits.

What it is.
// context
The problems we usually find.
-
A critical system with no safety net
No tests, no monitoring and no rollback plan. Every change is made with apprehension and without guarantees.
-
An inherited project in trouble
Missed deadlines, undocumented code and a previous team no longer available to explain decisions.
-
Compliance discovered late
The accessibility or security requirement shows up in a tender or an audit, and fixing it at the end costs several times more.

Insurance
Uthere
Uthere is a Portuguese digital platform designed to transform how people compare and choose insurance plans. The client’s vision was to remove the complexity and lack of transparency that typically define the insurance market by creating a system capable of automatically collecting, standardizing, and comparing offers from multiple providers in real time. To achieve this, the platform needed to go beyond a simple comparison tool. It had to function as a reliable data engine continuously gathering information from different insurance websites, processing it, and presenting clear, accurate options to users in a fast and intuitive interface. The goal was to empower customers to make confident decisions while saving time and reducing friction in the buying journey.

Wein Plus
Wine Plus is a digital platform created to connect wine producers, enthusiasts, distributors, and events across Europe. The client envisioned a centralised hub where users could discover wine regions, explore producers, participate in competitions, and access detailed information about products and events, all within a modern and intuitive digital experience. To achieve this, they needed more than a simple website. The platform had to handle large volumes of content, support multiple languages, and provide an engaging way for users to explore the wine ecosystem across different countries and cultures. The goal was to bridge tradition and technology, bringing the richness of the wine world into a scalable and interactive digital environment. From interactive maps and searchable listings to competition submissions and content management, the platform had to serve a diverse international audience while remaining fast, accessible, and easy to maintain.
// frequently asked
About Security & Resilience.
What does a project rescue involve in practice?
It starts with an assessment of the real state — code, tests, infrastructure and risks — and with stabilising what is in production. Evolution resumes only afterwards. It includes the scenario where our recommendation is not to continue on the current base.
Does the accessibility audit provide a certificate?
We do not issue certification. We deliver a technical report against WCAG 2.1 AA with a remediation plan prioritised by risk and effort. The declaration of conformity is the company’s responsibility, with its own legal advice.
How long until an unstable system becomes stable?
The first phase usually takes four to eight weeks: visibility, stopping the recurring failures and documenting what was never documented.
