§ 05Method / How the studio works

Three pillars, one senior bench, a fleet of agents behind it — led by Jun Seki, four-time founder and CTO (Poq, Healthera, Rosecut, Prompt Shields) with 50+ apps shipped.

M·01

A small bench of senior operators.

Partner-grade CTOs and applied scientists, accountable end-to-end.

→ 17 yrs at the helm
→ 1 client per lead
→ No pyramids

M·02

A disciplined fleet of agents.

Orchestrated AI agents do the volume work — reviewed, scored, gated.

→ Internal harness
→ Eval & scoring
→ Human sign-off

M·03

Production-grade, not prototype-shaped.

What leaves the room is software a business can operate — and an auditor can sign off.

→ GDPR · PCI · CE+
→ 99.97% uptime
→ Hand-off package

Two modes of engagement —

Mode A · Delivery

We build it. You operate it.

Fixed-scope build, full hand-off, 90-day warranty.

6 – 16 wksFrom €120k

Mode B · Consulting
