Preface

Complexity, charted.

This studio measures its year in shipped software. Not decks, not prototypes — products with real users, running in production. In 2026 that came to seven, and every one of them is live today.

This edition paints the three flagships as plates — the proxy storefront, the exam-seat watch, the feng-shui survey — drawn from the same conviction that guided the old survey charts: record what is actually there, measure honestly, and publish so others can navigate by it.

A Renaissance guild workshop at dusk: artisans at a long table among sea charts and brass instruments, with modern laptops glowing between them, one orange thread tracing a route across a chart.

Colophon

Set a course for 2027.

We take on a small number of projects a year and build them end to end — design, engineering, and the search visibility to be found. If yours should be a plate in the next annual, write to us.

Set in EB Garamond, Clash Display, Satoshi and JetBrains Mono. Historical artwork, public domain: Andreas Cellarius, Harmonia Macrocosmica (1661), sourced from Wikimedia Commons. Everything else painted here — the lake, the flying figures, the open book, the gull and clouds, the still-life props, the chapter scenes and the workshop — is studio-generated in the old-master manner (2026); no historical painting is reproduced in them.
