What we're building
Our proprietary products.
Separate from our consulting, we're building products of our own. Each one carries an honest label for how far along it is, and each is built the way we work: F².

Its first work is F² discovery, done with Iris Avery, Machine's AI Business Analyst team member. Business Analyst is in development and isn't offered yet.
Career Desk
In betaYour whole path to the next role, with you in charge.
Career Desk works one to one with you, from the first search to the moment you apply. When its daily search is on, it reads employers' own career sites each morning, ranks the openings by rules you can see, and explains every score. It builds your resume and cover letter only from wording you've approved, checks every claim, and maps the evidence behind each line. It helps you practice for interviews and tracks each application. It isn't a placement agency, and it doesn't promise a job. You make every call, and you press Apply.

How we engage · F², the Friction Framework
F², the framework behind our work.
F² guides every consulting engagement and how we build our own products. In an engagement, you receive a written account of how the work flows today, where it sticks, and the options for fixing it. You decide what happens next. How it works in detail stays ours.

- 2Find the frictionWe pinpoint where it slows down, repeats or breaks.
- 3Check the evidenceWe check what we found against the record before anyone relies on it.
- 4Shape a solutionWe work out the options with you, and you decide what happens next.
