What We Do
Three Practices. One Common Thread: Earth Science.
Our work spans applied geological consulting, custom SaaS development, and AI-driven automation — all built on the same earth science foundation.
Geological Consulting
Exploration data review, QA/QC pipelines, resource-estimation sanity checks, and project-level technical advisory for early-stage and producing assets.
See consulting services →Custom SaaS Development
Purpose-built web tools and data platforms for earth science teams — from drill-hole dashboards to compliance reporting portals. We design, build, and maintain.
See SaaS development →AI & Workflow Automation
LLM-powered report drafting, automated data ingestion, log interpretation assists, and document pipelines — embedded in the tools your team already uses.

A Geologist Who Codes, Not a Generic Software Shop
Earth science teams keep getting sold horizontal tools by people who have never logged core, validated assay data, or sat through a NI 43-101 review. We come at it from the other direction.
Domain-First
We speak in lithologies, assays, log curves, and compliance frameworks — not user stories. Less translation overhead, fewer wasted sprints.
Pragmatic Tech
We use AI where it adds real leverage and boring proven tools everywhere else. No hype-driven architecture.
Built to Hand Off
Documented code, sane infrastructure, no lock-in. Whatever we build is yours — we can keep maintaining it, or your team can take it over.
Outcome-Bound
Every engagement opens with a measurable target — hours saved, turnaround reduced, data-quality issues caught. We report against it.
Industry Focus
Built for Earth Science Verticals
Four industries where we have direct domain experience and active project work.
Mineral Exploration
Drill-hole data management, geochemical anomaly detection, target generation, and prospectivity workflows.

Tools Shipping Now — More on the Way
Focused SaaS tools for junior exploration teams. Each one addresses a specific chronic gap. Geologist-built, defensible to QPs, no statistician required.
AssayGuard
QA/QC review in minutes, not quarters.
Drop in your lab batch the day it arrives — get a defensible quality report before you've made another decision based on the data.
Read more →LodeGuard
Vectoring to the lode. The math, done right.
Multivariate geochemistry that turns the 30–50 elements per sample sitting in your CSV into defensible vectoring analysis with a methodology memo your QP will sign.
Read more →VistaGuard
The spatial view, done defensibly.
Maps, strip logs, cross-sections, anomaly polygons, drill plans — every visual a junior ships, methodology disclosed and byte-identical every time.

From First Call to Production in Four Stages
Discovery
Free 30-minute call to understand your data, your team, your bottleneck, and whether we're the right fit.
Scoped Audit
Short fixed-fee diagnostic — we map your existing workflows or system, identify the highest-leverage changes, and produce a written plan.
Build
Consulting deliverable, custom software MVP, or automation pipeline — built in tight iterations with weekly check-ins.
Operate
Optional retainer for maintenance, monitoring, and incremental improvements. Clean handoff if you'd rather take it in-house.
