Projects
Twelve projects that share one habit: start where the existing tool assumes the user wrong. A sprint board that treats time as the bottleneck, not the to-do list. A chat that knows the lien but refuses to give advice. An archive my 99-year-old grandmother can rummage through. Software that takes the domain expert at their word.
