Meridian Compass

What we build, and what we have built.

Every system on this page was designed and built for a real business. Our clients are confidential, so none of them is named here. What is named is the problem, and the solution that shipped.

Capabilities

Eight things we can actually do

  1. Business development systems

    Turning an owner's relationships into a pipeline that survives a busy week: request intake, quoting, follow-up, and a weekly review the owner actually reads.

  2. The whole business around a practice

    App, billing, contracts, terms, pricing, margins, onboarding, and the numbers. The operating system a professional practice runs on.

  3. Conversational agents that do a job

    Intake, qualification, booking, and support, bounded so they never impersonate a professional, never give advice they are not allowed to give, and hand a human what belongs to a human.

  4. Order out of unstructured sources

    Social feeds, inboxes, and documents become searchable records, structured requirements, and automatic matching.

  5. Data products with citations

    Directories and reference tools where every record traces to a dated source, built to be useful to the buyer rather than to a vendor.

  6. Assessments and diagnostics

    Rule-based and psychometric instruments that produce a readout a person trusts, with no black-box scoring.

  7. Consumer products sold to strangers

    Priced, paid for, and delivered online, without a sales call.

  8. Private and regulated deployments

    Work under dangerous-goods, defense supply chain, medical, and personal health constraints, including systems hosted on the company's own machine so nothing leaves the building.

In production

Running today, in someone’s business

Business development desk for a regulated cargo carrier

Maritime logistics · dangerous and sensitive cargo · thirty-year specialist

An owner-led carrier with deep relationships and no follow-up discipline. Quotation requests, client requests, and follow-ups were carried by hand, and revenue leaked out of the gaps.

We designed and built the desk that carries them: a structured request and quotation workflow, a customer relationship system hosted on the company's own machine so that no client or shipment data leaves the building, a scheduled routine that keeps pipeline and follow-up visible, and briefing workflows for regulated shipments including dangerous-goods documentation.

Pricing, compliance sign-off, and every message to a customer stay with the people who own them. It is in daily use.

The whole business around a coaching practice

Personal coaching · solo practitioner · full client roster

An excellent coach with a full roster and no business around the craft. No app, no billing, no terms, no numbers.

We designed and built the practice: a mobile-first client app, subscription billing, terms of service and privacy policy, a client waiver, a business plan with real margins, structured check-ins, and the progress and nutrition tracking clients actually use. An assistant runs inside it, bounded so that it never speaks as the coach, never writes a plan, and never answers a medical question.

The practice runs on it today, with paying clients.

The operating system this practice runs on

Olympus · our own

Meridian Compass runs on a system we built for ourselves: a durable knowledge vault, a conversational front door, an evidence-first research engine, a health agent, a typed graph of the business and its claims, and scheduled routines that keep the work moving without being asked.

We show it because it is the honest demonstration. The systems we install for other people are the ones we were willing to depend on ourselves.

Designed and built

The rest of the range

An intake and conversion agent for private clinics

Medical tourism · Bangkok clinics

Clinics whose enquiries arrive faster than the front desk can answer them, in several languages, at every hour. We built the agent that answers first: it responds, asks the qualifying questions the clinic needs answered, and moves a serious patient toward a booking, while anything clinical goes to clinical staff.

A relationship reading, sold to strangers

Consumer product · our own

A one-time paid reading for couples, generated from two people's data and delivered online. Priced, marketed, checked out, and delivered without a conversation. Strangers bought it.

We show it because it answers a different question from the systems above: not whether we can build something, but whether we can put a price on something and have a person who has never met us pay it.

Opportunity matching for small government contractors

Public federal data · small suppliers

A supplier's capability statement goes in, and the open federal opportunities that genuinely fit come out, with the operator judging the matches rather than a score deciding for them. Public data only.

A growth platform for government-contracting firms

Subscription platform

Opportunity intelligence and a growth service in one subscription product, built multi-tenant with strict isolation so no customer can reach another customer's data.

An evidence-cited self-portrait for founders

Assessment product

A battery of 719 questions across 47 instruments becomes an eight-chapter reading of who a founder is and what they should build, with a standing coach that turns the reading into daily practice. Every claim cites the instrument it came from. Nothing is asserted about a person without showing where it came from.

A buyer-side navigator for a certification market

Defense supply chain · compliance

Suppliers facing a costly and confusing certification, with every available guide written by someone selling them something. We built the independent one: a transparent rule-based readiness check with no black-box scoring, a directory of 524 providers where every record traces to a dated source, and buyer guides on cost, provider types, and how to read a quote. A quality gate in the build refused unsourced claims and marketing language outright.

Lead capture and matching for a property lettings agency

Property rental · small agency

Supply and demand both lived in social groups and a phone. Nothing was searchable, nothing was matched, nothing was followed up.

We built the system that made the market legible: a searchable database of listings on a rolling window, contacts and their active searches kept as structured records, automatic matching against live supply by area, budget, size, and move-in date, and one private workbench where the agency works the matches instead of scrolling.

A daily mastery course product

Consumer learning

A course delivered as a daily practice rather than a library of videos.

One conversation to find the real bottleneck. Then the smallest system that fixes it, built to a fixed scope and a fixed price, and handed over working.
