In run
A software studio · Helsinki
We ship. Then we stay.
Parsec is eight engineers who build production software for companies that can't afford a rewrite in two years. No account managers, no bench — the people on the call are the people in the repo, and we run what we build.
How we ship
Weeks, not quarters.
Every engagement runs the same shape. The weeks are real — we've run this loop forty times.
-
Discovery
Two weeks inside your domain: users, data, the systems nobody documented. Ends with a build plan priced honestly and a prototype you can click.
-
The build
One senior team, shipping to staging weekly from day one. You see progress in a URL, not a deck — and you can kill the project at any Friday demo.
-
The launch
Boring by design: feature flags, migrations rehearsed, a rollback we've actually tested. Launches here don't get war stories, which is the point.
-
The run
We operate what we shipped — monitoring, upgrades, the 3am pager. Most clients keep us on run-mode for years; the code stays healthy because its authors are on call for it.
Work
In production now.
Anonymised where contracts insist, real everywhere it counts.

Energy trading console — replaced a spreadsheet with a nervous system

8 Engineers. No bench, no juniors on your bill
40× The weekly-demo loop, run to date
0 Rewrites needed of anything we've shipped
Software isn't done when it ships. It's done when it's boring.
Engagements
Priced like adults.
Fixed where we can see, transparent where we can't. Discovery is always the door in.
Discovery
€12,000 two weeks, fixed
The domain, the data, the honest build plan — and a clickable prototype your board can argue about.
- Priced build plan, no lock-in
- Take it to anyone, including us
The Build
€38,000 per team-month
One senior team, weekly staging demos, kill-switch every Friday. Most builds run two to four months.
- Weekly demo or your money's bored
- You own the repo from week one
The Run
from €4,500 per month
We operate what we built: monitoring, upgrades, on-call. The reason our code stays clean.
- The 3am pager is ours
- Quarterly health reports, readable
Clients
On the record
The Friday kill-switch felt like a gimmick until week six, when we used it to cut a feature. They celebrated with us. That's when I understood the model.
Two years in production, four platform upgrades, zero drama. Our last vendor's system needed a rewrite at eighteen months. This one just... runs.
They talked us out of features in discovery. A consultancy reducing its own scope was new to me. The thing shipped early because of it.
Start
The discovery call.
Forty minutes with two engineers — not sales, we don't have any. Bring the problem and whoever owns it.
Visitors pick a date and time here, then leave their details.
