60 days from first conversation to company-wide use.

The problem
You're paying for hundreds of features. You need twelve, and three that don't exist yet.
SaaS vendors build for the average of thousands of customers — which means they fit none of them exactly. To justify rising prices, they pile on features made for everyone, built for no one. You pay for 100% of the product, use 20%, and still run your real process on workarounds — the spreadsheet everyone updates, the form that gets emailed around, the checklist living in one person's head.
Every workaround in your operation is software waiting to exist. And no vendor is coming to build it — because it's your process, not the market's.
The shift
AI flipped the math on custom software.
Building software used to be the expensive part — so you bought off-the-shelf and bent your business to fit it. Then AI commoditized the entire development process: designing the application, writing it, testing it, hardening it, shipping it. Not just faster typing — the whole production line, from blueprint to working software. What took a dev team a year now takes days and weeks.
What AI didn't commoditize is judgment: knowing exactly what to build, molding it to how your business actually runs, and keeping it alive after launch. That's Stratify.
For the first time, software built for your exact business costs less — and pays back faster — than renting bloated software that almost fits.
Your ROI doesn't start next fiscal year — it starts this month.
How it works
Custom software, without the custom-software risk.
- We learn your process. Not a requirements document — your actual workflow. How work comes in, who approves it, what your team calls things, where it breaks down today.
- We build it with AI on Stratify. Software shaped to your process, live in days and weeks — not months and years. Integrated with the systems you keep — your ERP, your HR platform, your accounting.
- We run it and evolve it. Your software lives on the Stratify platform: maintained, secured, and improved as your business changes. Custom never means orphaned.
- One predictable retainer — a flat monthly investment, like a SaaS subscription, except the software fits. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices.
- Continuous delivery — working software in days and weeks, then it keeps evolving. Your retainer buys momentum, not meetings.
- Measured in results — hours saved, tools replaced, processes unblocked. Deeply consultative, built to your exact process.
The platform
Custom doesn't mean starting from scratch.
Stratify is a development platform for building highly customized, integrated applications — not websites, applications. The foundation every business application needs is already built, hardened, and running for every customer. We build the layer that makes it exactly yours.

The AI reads the solicitation, checks the insurance, matches the staff, and scores the pursuit — then posts its scores next to the humans', not instead of them.
Live pursuit decisions the same quarter it was scoped.
In an AS9100D shop, the quality process lived on clipboards. Now the software enforces it — every checkpoint, every inspection, every job, structurally.
Paper is gone from an AS9100D floor — and the audit trail is automatic and permanent.
Hundreds of pages of civil drawings, one structure missed on page 147, one bad bid. Now the AI finds them, proves them on the drawing, and measures its own accuracy.
Hours of page-by-page review → minutes of verification.
Keep what works
This isn't rip-and-replace.
Your ERP stays. Your accounting stays. Anything that's working stays. Stratify builds the software around your core systems — the workflows they were never designed for — and integrates back into them. We replace the tools that don't fit, augment the ones that almost do, and connect all of it.

Straight answers
The questions you're actually thinking.
You've been pitched software before. Here are the blunt answers.
What happens if Stratify disappears?
You keep working software. You own the custom applications we build, with source code and documentation, running on standard technologies your next developer can pick up. If you self-host, nothing even moves. We designed the model so you never have to bet your operation on us — that's exactly why customers do.
Custom software always goes over budget and never ships. Why is this different?
Because you're not paying for a from-scratch build. The foundation — forms, workflows, integrations, AI, reporting — is already built and running for every customer. We build only the layer that's uniquely yours, so first working software lands in days and weeks. And a flat retainer caps your monthly exposure: you see results before you've spent much.
What does it cost?
One flat monthly retainer, sized to the scope of what we're building and evolving for you — no hourly meter, no surprise invoices. On top of that, a platform license covers the pre-built modules and keeps everything maintained, and hosting fees reflect who hosts what. In most cases the total runs below what companies are already spending on the SaaS subscriptions the software replaces — with the difference that you own what we build.
A retainer means paying forever.
You're already paying forever — to SaaS vendors — for software that doesn't fit and that you'll never own. The retainer redirects spend you're already making into software molded to your business, that keeps evolving, and that's yours. And unlike SaaS, if you stop, you keep everything built so far.
Where does our data live? Is it training your AI?
Your data lives where you choose — our data center, yours, or split between the two. Your data is never used to train AI models. For regulated and defense environments, self-hosted and air-gapped deployments keep everything inside your walls.
We already invested in our ERP and other systems.
Good — keep them. We build around your core systems, not over them. Your ERP, HR, and accounting stay; we build the workflows they were never designed for and integrate back in. When those vendors push updates, maintaining the integrations is our job, covered by your license.
Is this just shadow IT my team inherits?
The opposite. We bring your IT lead in during discovery, deliver documented software on standard technology, and support it ongoing. IT gets what the business needs without adding headcount — and full visibility into how it runs and where it's hosted.
