Work · Products built and run by OSIH
We build
what we advise on.
Our advice comes from shipping software where the address is a landmark and the network drops out.
Our own products. Client work stays confidential.
The portfolio
Five problems
we chose to live with.
Each one taught us something we now check for in every pre-mortem and assessment.

Before you build it, let us argue against it. The Africa Pre-Mortem, CHF 1,900, in five business days.
Commission a pre-mortem
Software has to keep up.
What building taught us
The hard part
is never the model.
Where systems break
- An address that a rider understands and the software does not.
- Trust that sits with a person the customer knows.
- Data that is sparse, informal or out of date.
- Unit costs that only work at a scale you have not reached.
What we check for you
- Whether local context is in the data, or only in someone’s head.
- Who the tool has to win over before anyone uses it.
- What still works when the network drops.
- What it costs to run in year two, after the launch budget is gone.
