Platforms and data registers
Contract-first platform engineering and canonical registers built from messy multi-source data. The larger tier of the work, delivered with the same discipline as the two-week sprints.
What this is
Some problems are bigger than a tool: an operations platform, a register a whole sector must trust, analytics over national-scale field data. This offering is that tier. The method is contract-first: binding, machine-validated API contracts come first, specifications reference them, and code is generated and checked against them, so the parts of a platform agree with each other by construction. Registers are built the same way, consolidating sources that disagree into one canonical, standards-compliant dataset with the lineage of every record preserved.
Who it fits
- Operational data spread across sources that disagree, with no single version anyone trusts.
- A system that must speak EU standard formats and interoperate with other parties from day one.
- Field data collected at national scale that must become reports, priorities and a defensible programme.
- A platform ambition that needs an honest engineering foundation before a large procurement.
What a typical engagement contains
- Binding API contracts first, with specifications and code validated against them.
- Canonical registers consolidated from the source systems, published in the standard formats the domain requires.
- Working services generated from the contracts, so the platform grows against a fixed frame.
- Analytics that turn raw field data into condition reports, priorities and decision products.
Evidence
TAKT transit operations platform: A full operations platform for mid-size bus and trolleybus companies, with the first working services generated directly from its binding API contracts. A platform in development, not yet in production.
Compliance platform engine: The running multi-tenant engine that our compliance platforms plug into, with database-enforced tenant isolation and an extensive automated test suite.
National Stop Register of Bulgaria: The country's first canonical register of public-transport stops, 13,974 stops consolidated from nine operators and two agencies, published in EU standard formats, in days.
Deposit-return system, national design: Bulgaria's national deposit-return system designed end to end: architecture, draft legislation in two parallel editions, financial model and a working machine simulator.
National road-condition analytics: A national road-roughness survey's raw and partly broken field data turned into engineering-grade condition reports, a prioritized repair programme and an interactive offline map that staff at Bulgaria's Road Infrastructure Agency open with a double click.
Bring the register nobody trusts
Thirty minutes with your current data landscape is enough to say which component ships first and what standard it should speak.
