Digital Transformation · delivered
Web hosting renewed. CMS rebuilt on a platform the staff edits directly. Donor management software introduced. Volunteer management, newsletter platform, and social media tooling replaced and connected.
FOR INSTITUTIONS
Built for every kind of cultural institution.
We work with institutions whose knowledge, systems, and obligations have outgrown what a small staff can manage by hand. We give them the capacity of a much larger organization, at a fraction of the cost.

WHY INSTITUTIONS COME TO US
Nobody comes to us because they want AI.
They come because the collections system and the donor database have never spoken. Because the one person who understands the server is retiring. Because a catalogue that should exist would cost millions. Because six people are doing the work of twenty, and the budget is not going to grow.
INSTITUTIONS
Four kinds of institution. One kind of problem.

HOW WE WORK
Four steps. The fourth is optional.
For a defined problem, the diagnostic is short. For a tired team, the diagnostic is the work.
IN PRACTICE
One institution. Front to back.
Tom of Finland Foundation. Delivered work stated as fact, without figures. The Labs half carries its status.
One login fewer, one spreadsheet fewer, one person no longer the only one who knows.

RESEARCH PILOT pilot
Labs · in pilot
Collections management established as the groundwork for catalogue research. A catalogue raisonné methodology in exploratory pilot: machines search, transcribe, match, and reconstruct; the Foundation’s scholars decide.
