We'll tell you what you need. Even if it's not us.
Before you commit to a build, you need to know you're solving the right problem with the right tool. We offer structured consulting engagements for businesses evaluating FileMaker, assessing an existing system, or planning a significant change.
What we offer.
Four types of engagement. Each one ends with a written recommendation. You walk away with a deliverable, regardless of whether you decide to build with us.
Solution Architecture and Scoping
A structured discovery process that results in a clear project specification: what gets built, in what order, at what cost, and by when. Fixed-price. Walk away with a deliverable regardless of whether you engage us to build it.
System Audits and Assessments
Have an existing FileMaker system that's causing problems? We go through it thoroughly: data model, script logic, performance, security, technical debt. We give you an honest report on what's worth keeping and what needs to change.
Technology Strategy
Not sure if FileMaker is the right platform for what you're trying to build? We help you evaluate your options honestly. If another tool is genuinely better for your use case, we'll say so.
BasicPSF Evaluation
For businesses that might be a fit for BasicPSF rather than a custom build, we run a structured evaluation session: mapping your workflows against the platform to determine whether it covers your needs or whether custom development makes more sense.
Learn about BasicPSF →Every consulting engagement ends with a clear recommendation. Sometimes that recommendation is to build with us. Sometimes it's to use BasicPSF. Sometimes it's neither. We'll always tell you which.
The other two things.

We take on a limited number of new projects each year. Tell us what you're trying to solve and we'll give you an honest answer.
