What you are actually signing up for
- You own the whole thing
- Not tasks handed down. You take a problem from the first conversation through to the outcome, and the result is yours to point at.
- Our users are scholars
- PhD students, postdocs, and professors mid-thesis. They are precise, they are busy, and they will tell you exactly where the product failed them.
- Independent and subscription-funded
- No investors to perform for and no growth theatre. Research pays our bills, so we are never tempted to sell or mine it.
- Calm is the standard
- We build for people doing eight-hour reading sessions, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Deep work over standups.
Five steps, about two weeks
No take-home marathons, no unpaid work, no eight-round loop. You will always know which step you are on and what comes next.
-
Application
A short form and your work. No cover letter, no portal account to create.

Stipend, hours, and expectations in writing, with room to ask anything before you decide.
