Software I Own And Operate

Four products, all live, all running without me in the loop. Services are how you hire me and deliverables are what an engagement hands you. This collection is the third thing: the systems I built and operate myself, published here as evidence that the way I work is backed by software rather than by slides.

Products, Deliverables And Services

The site already separates two things, and this is the third. The boundary matters, because otherwise these pages get read as an offer, which none of them are.

A product here is named, live, addressable software with its own URL that runs without me in the loop. A deliverable is a document an engagement produces. Two of these products exist to produce deliverables and a third exists to store them, but none of them are sold, and none of them are a substitute for the engagement.

Why These Exist

None of these started as a product. Each one started as a part of my own work that did not hold up, and the fix turned out to be software rather than discipline.

  • Measuring one URL was never the question. Performance lives in templates, so the sampler measures across templates and averages, which is what PageSpeed Insights will not do for you.
  • An audit written as prose cannot be worked. Storing the finding as a forty-field record is what makes an audit sortable, exportable, and comparable against the last one.
  • The same analysis was being rebuilt every engagement. Building it once, against a repeatable framework, is worth more than building it well once per client.
  • Delivered work should not decay in an inbox. A permanent client address turns the archive into the client's property instead of a retrieval request aimed at me.

Two of them, AuditBuilder and PageSpeed Sampler, are open to anybody. The other two run for my clients. All four are described here at the same level of detail, including the parts that are deliberately missing.

Systems, Not Slideware

These are the systems underneath the engagements. If you want them pointed at your site, with the analysis, the findings and the sequencing done by the person who built them, that is what an engagement is.
