Two ways we help
A useful first version in weeks — or a calm file if fraud already hit. Pick the one that matches today.
Build
Fix the work that wastes the week
Spreadsheets nobody trusts, manual follow-ups, or a process that needs a simple web app. We scope a fixed first version — not a six-month theatre project.

Something already went wrong
Fake boss emails, altered invoices, hijacked accounts. Confidential assessment from R2,500. We organise what happened. We do not guarantee getting money back.

Clear thinking. Practical builds. Honest advice.
Growing businesses often need better tools without enterprise budgets or jargon. We build what you need — from a smarter spreadsheet to a full web app — and we will say so if a simpler option is enough.
You work with a small practice. The same people who scope the work also do it: data, software, and fraud response in one place. Fraud work is led by a specialist with three years on digital fraud incidents for businesses — fake emails, altered invoices, and hijacked accounts — working from evidence, not guesswork. If a payment scam exposes a weak process, we can document what happened and then harden or rebuild the step that failed.
We work with businesses across South Africa, mostly remotely. We do not claim a city office we do not have.
Case note
Invoice almost paid — then the process changed
A composite of typical work, not a named client and not a promise of the same result.
What was going wrong
Supplier bank details arrived by email. One person could load them and pay the same day. A lookalike message nearly sent a real invoice amount to a new account.
What we did
Same day: saved the emails, wrote a timeline, and listed what the bank and the real supplier needed. Then a one-page rule — bank-detail changes confirmed on a stored phone number, released by a second person.
What “done” looked like
A file the owner could show the bank, and a payment habit that does not depend on anyone feeling rushed. No recovery was guaranteed, and none was promised.
