There's a system in there somewhere

Systems, operations, and purpose-built tools for small organizations doing meaningful work.

You probably don't need another tool.

You might have information scattered across six places. A process that works because one person remembers how to do it. A spreadsheet everyone uses differently. Something that gets copied, checked, chased, or reconstructed over and over again.

Those aren't necessarily software problems.

They're clues.

From messy to workable

Understand the work

Start with what people actually do; not what the process diagram says they do.

Find the structure

Figure out where information disappears, work gets repeated, decisions get stuck, and people have quietly become part of the infrastructure.

Build what helps

Maybe that's a better process. Maybe it's getting the tools you already have to behave. Maybe it's a spreadsheet. And sometimes the thing you need doesn't exist yet, so we build it.

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Lindsay

I've spent my career working in places where the real world doesn't fit neatly into the system.

I've taught science and technology. I've built and run small businesses. I've designed processes, implemented software, wrangled data, automated repetitive work, and built tools of my own.

Those may look like different kinds of work. To me, they've mostly been the same problem:

Figure out what's actually happening. Find the structure inside it. Make it work better.

Limnic Co is the home for that work.
