Philosophy
We don't look for problems so we can build things.
Problems give us a reason to build.
Every FIXIFACT product begins with a question:
Why does this problem still exist?
Sometimes the answer is to change something that already exists. Sometimes a better tool needs to be built. And sometimes the thing we need doesn't exist yet.
Process
Six steps, every time.
- 01NOTICE
Find the real problem.
Look for friction, unnecessary limitations, wasted time, recurring irritation, or an experience that is worse than it needs to be.
- 02QUESTION
Why does this problem exist?
Do we actually have to accept it?
- 03UNDERSTAND
Don't stop at the visible symptom.
Break the problem down until the real cause becomes clear.
- 04BUILD
Build what the problem actually needs.
Not what simply looks interesting to build.
- 05TEST
The solution has to work in the real world.
If it doesn't actually remove the problem, it isn't finished.
- 06FIX
Simplify it. Improve it.
Remove anything that doesn't contribute to solving the problem.
The problem is the starting point.
The product is the result.
FIXIFACT — We build what the problem needs.
