Real problems first
Name the person, need, and smallest useful outcome before choosing a platform or expanding the scope.
How we work
Stay close to the problem.
Let use change the answer.
Steckler Lab is a family-centered independent software company founded by Christian Steckler. We begin with problems we understand, build the smallest product that can help, and put it in front of people who can use it. What happens next is determined by evidence: stop, revise, or accept the responsibility of maintaining it.
Working software early
Put a small version into voluntary real use so assumptions can meet evidence while change is still inexpensive.
Honest status
Prototype, alpha, invite-only, and public mean different things. We state the current condition instead of borrowing credibility from a future plan.
Earn the next step
Maintenance and shared infrastructure are responsibilities. Repeated use must justify adding either one.
