the soultosoul operating system
the framework we use to ship products and keep the teams behind them healthy.
- 1
outcome definition
before we write code, we agree with you on the goal, the metrics that prove success, the features that change those metrics and the smallest build that tests your assumptions.
- 2
architecture first
we design the whole system from day one, including the data layer, internal tools and support surfaces. we write code the next engineer can read, and it keeps working as you grow.
- 3
90/10 engineering
ai does the mechanical 90% of the work, which is where the speed comes from. our engineers own the other 10%, including architecture, security and business logic, and they check the output for correctness.
- 4
ego-squeezing process
we look for decisions driven by ego and test them against business reality. when someone says "i think we should build x", we ask "what business outcome does x achieve?" we settle arguments about personal preference and stakeholder politics with data and outcomes.
- 5
team wellbeing infrastructure
we build teams that stay healthy while they ship. that means protected focus time, managed workloads, accommodations for the people who need them and a pace your team can sustain. we plan this with the same care as the rest of the engineering infrastructure.
- 6
continuous delivery
we ship early and often, measure the impact and change course based on what users do. we set up product and engineering processes so your team can keep delivering without burning out.
we use this operating system on client projects and on our own products.
anyone can use it. we publish it here because we want more teams to build products this way.
