Design Philosophy
Less, But Better
Design principles that help you make better decisions. Learn from Dieter Rams, Mies van der Rohe, and other masters who shaped how we think about quality.
Weniger, aber besser
Less, but better. Not minimalism for its own sake—a way to focus on what matters. When you remove the unnecessary, what remains gets stronger.
This is how we work: before adding anything, we ask whether it earns its place. The same question applies to every feature, every word, every decision.
Simple isn't easy. It takes more effort to make something clear than to leave it complicated. That effort is worth it.
— How we evaluate research, design experiments, and deliver client work.
Featured Pattern
Crystallization
Your judgment, crystallized.
Encode human expertise into configurable constraints that AI agents execute within. One expert's taste scales through curated autonomy—not "no humans in the loop," but human judgment that shapes every decision without requiring constant presence.

Research
We publish papers and tools. Each one answers a specific question with measurable results you can reproduce.
Practice
We run experiments and share what we learn. You'll find working code, honest assessments, and lessons from things that didn't work.
Services
We build software for clients. Same principles, applied to real business problems with deadlines and budgets.
