DetailsThe trade-off
Good is the floor. You balance the rest.
The project triangle: Scope, Time, Cost — with quality held high throughout. Cromulent means good enough — so we lock Scope at 70%: the useful core of the tool, built to full quality and ready to start using right away. You only balance Time and Cost with what’s left. Push either to zero and the schedule or the budget runs to infinity — a black hole. Then we iterate, and that 70% climbs.
Scope 🔒 sweet spot70%
How much of the desired tool you get — built to full quality. 0% nothing usable · 100% the complete tool. Locked at 70% — the useful core.
We don’t chase 100% before you can use anything. We ship the useful 70% — at full quality — fast. That’s our sweet spot.
Time15%
How much of the speed you want. 0% the schedule runs away (Time → ∞) · 100% delivered as fast as you asked.
Cost15%
How much of the savings you want. 0% the budget runs away (Cost → ∞) · 100% as cheap as you asked.
Scope is locked at 70%. You only balance Time and Cost. Drag the shape to rotate — it holds where you leave it.

Capped — not open-ended
We put a ceiling on the time and the budget a project can take. You get something you can start using — quickly, and at a fair price.
Your data, yours to move
Built around your right to own your data and carry it with you, so the tool keeps adapting as your needs change.
Good enough = a real result
The good-enough we deliver is the version that produces a positive result in your business — today, not someday.
