Shorts · Good Habits

Keep your technology working, long after launch day.

Thirty seconds on the AI tool nobody looks after, and the card that keeps it right.

What the short says

  1. The new AI tool arrives with balloons.
  2. By September, nobody remembers who set it up.
  3. It drifts, like a houseplant nobody waters.
  4. The answers get a little worse, and nobody notices.
  5. We give every tool a card: who looks after it, what to check, and how often.
  6. Marv does the work, and Bob waters the plant.
  7. We are Subversive. Keeping your technology working.

The problem

What goes wrong

A new tool arrives with balloons. By September nobody remembers who set it up. It drifts, the answers get a little worse, and nobody notices until a customer does.

What we do

How we fix it

We give every tool a card: who looks after it, what to check, and how often. The AI does the work, and a person you name waters the plant.

What you get

  • A card for every tool

    Who looks after it, what to check, and how often.

  • A named keeper

    One person who notices when the answers slip.

  • Regular checks

    Short, booked in, and written down.

  • A record of changes

    What was changed, when, and why.

How we start

Start with a day.

A workshop or a discovery day, and you keep the written notes whatever you decide next.

Then a first piece of work. Or keep us on: three months to begin, then month by month.

We quote for the job, once we know what it is.

A larger organisation? Start here.

On your own? Your first hour is free.

Talk to Dave

Who looks after your tools after launch day? Let’s give each one a card.

Confidential. No sales theatre. The reply costs nothing and comes from Dave.

Write to Dave

A few quick questions, and we write the email for you. It opens in your own email, so nothing goes until you send it.
