A project might start as a website and turn out to need inquiries flowing into an existing business system. Another might start with a repeated task and end with a small application, a better data flow and clearer instructions for the person using it.

Sometimes I build from the beginning. Other times I watch how a process actually runs, find the repeated step or the awkward handoff, and improve that part without replacing everything around it. The aim is that a gap between two pieces of work doesn't quietly become the client's next problem.

The name comes from two ways of working with AI. In the cyborg approach, a person and the tool work through something together: asking, drafting, changing direction and trying again. The thinking develops in the exchange. In the centaur approach the roles are divided. A person sets the direction, hands over a defined part of the work and reviews what comes back.

Picking between them is a judgment call. Exploring an unfamiliar idea suits the first; organizing a known set of records, where the result can be checked, suits the second. Either way, the judgment stays with a person. The two original characters give the distinction a friendly face and are still at the center of the company's identity.

Connecting systems is a large part of the work. An older application may still do its job well even though getting information out of it is awkward. The hard part is usually the set of questions around the connection: which details need to move, what each field means in each system, who reviews a change and what should happen when something is missing.

Those are the questions I start a real project with. The company website turns the sequence into a small interactive illustration built on sample information.
