Is SigmaText still a software-development firm?+
Software engineering remains the foundation. The difference is that our preferred model connects the system to a defined production workflow and measurable operating improvement instead of ending responsibility at code handoff.
Do you work for free until an outcome appears?+
No. Diagnostics and pilots are paid because process capture, integration and production proof create real value. The risk reversal is no long-term commitment before agreed proof gates pass - not open-ended speculative development.
Does SigmaText replace the customer's judgment?+
No. We separate intelligence production from business judgment. Policy, material risk, prioritization and final approval remain with authorized people unless a narrower boundary is explicitly governed and supported by evidence.
What makes a workflow a good starting point?+
It is already outsourced or contractor-supported, repeated frequently, measurable within weeks and backed by a named budget. The first workload can move without requiring an internal reorganization.
Why start with finance and compliance operations?+
These workflows are recurring, evidence-rich and governed by explicit approvals. They are also close to our existing software, customer relationships and engineering experience. Our current market focus is narrow even though the underlying operating model can expand later.
