Who we help

Established businesses and domain-expert founders

Adamant Code works with two groups: established businesses of roughly 20 to 300 people whose systems, reports or documents slow the work down, and domain-expert founders who understand a problem well and can fund a useful first release. We work with clients in the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and Australia.

Established businesses

Businesses of roughly 20 to 300 people that have outgrown their tools

Owners, operations leaders and managers who live with the problem every week. Each situation below shows what it usually looks like, what we build first and the closest public evidence.

Your systems don't share data, so people copy it between them

The same customer, order or job is typed into two or three tools, and someone reconciles the differences at month end.

What we usually build first

An integration or workflow that moves the data once, checks it and flags the records that don't match.

A repeat client's platform supporting 44 internal users, 400+ connected properties and around 220k rows a day on average. These are scale figures, not measured savings.

A recurring report takes someone most of a day

A manager exports from several systems into a spreadsheet every week or month, and the figures get questioned when they arrive.

What we usually build first

A report built from the source systems, with checks that show where each figure came from.

Our guide shows how to put a yearly cost on the report before deciding what to automate.

Finding the right paragraph in your documents takes too long

Engineers, estimators or support staff search large document sets by hand, and answers depend on who remembers where things are.

What we usually build first

Search over your own documents that answers with citations, page references and the exact paragraph, so people can check the source.

Source-cited AI search for TCE, an infrastructure company, across bid packages that can reach 5,000 to 50,000 pages. Estimated 83% document-search time reduction, based on engineer interviews and client estimates, not usage-log measurement or audited financial savings.

Customer conversations arrive across chat and several inboxes

Requests come in through website chat, an app and email, and it isn't clear who answers what or when a person should step in.

What we usually build first

Connected support inboxes with answers grounded in approved knowledge and clear rules for handing a conversation to a person.

Built around Chatwoot. Over five months the support platform managed 11,782 conversations across seven inboxes, and website chat had a typical first response of 36 seconds. The volume is a platform total, not a count of conversations resolved by AI, and the response time applies to website chat only.

You've outgrown spreadsheets or an off-the-shelf tool

A workbook or a generic tool holds a process it was never designed for, and the workarounds have their own instructions.

What we usually build first

An internal tool or customer portal built around your business rules, starting with the workflow the workaround exists for.

Seven signs, four things that are not signs, and a four-week test to run before you commit.

Your existing software is slow, unreliable or hard to change

Each change takes longer than the last, releases break unrelated features, or the people who built it have moved on.

What we usually build first

An assessment of what to keep, fix or rebuild, then improvements in phases while the system keeps running.

An assessment worksheet for deciding what to keep, improve or replace.

Domain-expert founders

Founders who know a problem well and need a product team

You bring knowledge of a real problem, funding for a useful first phase and access to prospective users. We bring product decisions, design and engineering in one team.

You know the problem and have sketches, but no product team

You can describe the users and the job the product does for them, and you need product decisions, design and engineering from one team.

What we usually build first

A first release scoped around one complete user journey, designed, built and released, then improved with feedback from real users.

A founder's rough wireframes became an AI-assisted marketplace with 50+ screens, 15+ workflows and a six-step invention workflow. These figures describe delivery scope, not revenue or adoption.

You want to turn a proven method into a product

Your expertise lives in how you work with clients, and the product has to follow that method rather than a generic template.

What we usually build first

A product that follows the method's steps and rules, with the guardrails the subject needs.

TNM's coaching methodology translated into a multilingual text-and-voice product with memory, accountability, HR reporting and guardrails, across around 18 months and two major versions.

You have an early version that needs to hold up with real users

A prototype works in a demo, but real users, real data or a second customer expose gaps.

What we usually build first

A review of what to keep, then a small usable release to a limited group before a wider launch.

Our guide to moving an early product to a small, usable alpha.

Size and stage

Where a project usually starts

Company size describes who we usually work with. It isn't a minimum.

Honest limits

When we're not the right fit

Saying this up front saves both sides a call.

  • Marketing, SEO, paid ads or lead generation. We don't sell them as services.
  • Staff augmentation, where you want developers to direct yourselves.
  • No-code builds on tools such as Zapier, Make or Bubble, unless the job is to rebuild one in code.
  • One-off maintenance of software we didn't build. We do assess and improve existing software as a project.
  • Equity-only, revenue-share or commission-only arrangements.

How work starts

A conversation about the workflow

You don't need a specification. Bring the workflow, the people it affects and examples of where it breaks down.

  • We work week by week, with planning, design, development and testing in the same weekly rhythm and priorities agreed together.
  • A weekly update meeting, and day-to-day chat with the team in our client portal.
  • Every build includes a 30-day bug-fixing period after completion, covered by us.

The weekly terms are on our terms page.

FAQ

Questions about fit

What size of business does Adamant Code work with?

Mostly established businesses of roughly 20 to 300 people. A smaller business isn't automatically a poor fit. What matters is a concrete workflow problem, the people who will use the result and funding for the work.

Do you work with startup founders?

Yes, with domain-expert founders who understand a problem well, can fund a useful first phase now and can reach prospective users. Current revenue, outside investment and an AI feature aren't required.

Does the project have to involve AI?

No. AI is optional and used only where it solves a practical problem. Many projects are integrations, internal tools or reporting.

Can you work with the systems we already use?

Usually, if the required systems provide suitable APIs, exports, database access, or other approved integration paths. We confirm the available data and actions before defining the scope.

Which countries do you work with?

Clients in the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and Australia. We are based in Rijeka, Croatia, hold a weekly update meeting with each client and chat with them day to day in our client portal.

Can you take over software another team built?

We assess existing software and improve or rebuild the parts holding the operation back, as a project. We don't take on one-off maintenance of software we didn't build.

What does the first conversation cover?

The intended users, the business priority, the funding available, the first useful outcome and the next step. You don't need a specification, just the workflow and where it breaks down.

What is your team working around every day?

Bring one manual process, disconnected workflow or software problem. We’ll discuss what needs to work differently, the constraints involved and a sensible next step.
