Your team ships. We leave.
Formwork builds internal tools with your operations team — in your stack, with your people — until they can build the next one without us. The deliverable isn't a repo. It's a team that ships.
| Job | Tech | Status |
|---|---|---|
| AC down — Lakeview clinic | M. Diaz | Assigned |
| Filter swap — Unit 4B | T. Okafor | Scheduled |
| Compressor check — Bay 2 | R. Patel | Done |
| Thermostat RMA — Suite 900 | J. Kim | Parts |

The problem
You didn't buy software. You bought a landlord.
Every dev shop pitch ends the same way: they ship, they invoice, they leave — and every change afterward goes back through them. Meanwhile the tools your ops team actually needs never clear the budget line.
Rent, forever
Change orders route through the vendor. The tool you paid to own bills like a lease.
The backlog nobody funds
Twenty internal tools your team needs, none big enough to justify headcount. So they stay spreadsheets.
The handoff cliff
The repo arrives, the consultants leave, and six months later nobody can touch it without breaking it.
How it works
Three phases. Each ends with your team more capable than it started.
Diagnostic
We map your workflows, find the tools worth building, and score what your team can already do. You get a build list with honest effort estimates — useful whether or not you continue with us.
2 weeksBuild-alongside sprint
We build your first internal tool with your people in the room, not for them from a distance. Software ships — and your team watches every decision get made, then starts making the next ones.
6 weeksCapability installation
Embedded enablement: your team builds, we review. Standards, guardrails, and evaluation habits get installed as practice, not PDFs. We taper off. The shipping doesn't.
