Work
There is nothing named on this page yet. Adofic is new, and a case study needs a client who agrees to be named, which takes longer than the work does.
So this is the shape of the jobs instead. When there are studies to publish they will carry the client, the year, what was actually changed, and a figure they gave us rather than one we chose.
The shapes
Inherit and stabilise
Something exists, it matters, and it is fragile. The first weeks are reading, not writing.
Build the missing middle
Two systems that both work and do not speak. Usually the most valuable thing nobody has budgeted for.
Replace, in public
The old system keeps running while the new one takes traffic a slice at a time. Slower, and the only version that does not need a bad weekend.
Announce it
A fixed date and one first impression. Small, sharp, and unforgiving about detail.
