Long-form notes from our own projects and the practices behind them — written after the fact, when the lessons had stopped being opinions.

This is the map we drew before building a compliance platform for it — the duties that fall on everyone, the deadlines employers miss most often, and what changes when the hazard assessment happens on a phone on the floor instead of in a binder at a desk.
In 14 days, Mapsiti was conceived, built and shipped to the App Store as an AI-assisted experiment. AI acted as product owner, coder and strategist; humans owned the structure, the testing and the technical integrity. Guardrails kept 18,000+ lines of SwiftUI and MapKit clean and production-ready. The experiment proved that AI plus PMO discipline can compress months into weeks — but not without lessons.
