Scribes and Shekel

Scribes & Shekel Limited is a digital consultancy and software studio that designs, develops and delivers high-impact technology products for organisations that need more than an off-the-shelf fix. We serves clients across Canada, the UK and the US, coupling deep engineering talent with strategic advisory expertise.

Our purpose is simple: “coupling data, software and purpose to deliver unprecedented results for your organisation.” Every engagement is approached with a user-centred, evidence-driven mindset that transforms complex business pain-points into scalable digital solutions.

Custom Software & Platforms Full-stack web and mobile products built with FastAPI, React/Next.js, Golang and Ruby—hardened by TDD, CI/CD and cloud-native DevOps.

Digital & Product Consulting Road-mapping, funding alignment and go-to-market strategy that convert ideas into executable backlogs and measurable ROI.

Data & Business Intelligence ETL pipelines, bespoke dashboards (Power BI, Looker) and predictive models that turn raw datasets into board-level insight.

AI & Smart-Tech Solutions Proof-of-concept to production: NLP, computer vision, valuation engines and home-automation systems that respect GDPR/PIPEDA.

Project & Programme Management PMI-certified PMs who launch or rescue multi-stakeholder builds, managing scope, risk and vendor orchestration. Training & Coaching Workshops and 1-to-1 sessions in Agile, DevOps, UX and AI adoption—complete with live coding, templates and after-action playbooks. (All service areas are delivered in French or English and mapped to clear SLAs.)

Methodology

Discovery & Concept – collaborative workshops capture objectives, constraints and stakeholder needs before a single line of code is written.

User-Centred Design (UCD) – iterative prototypes driven by surveys, interviews and usability testing ensure solutions feel “familiar and natural” to end-users.

Agile Delivery – two-week sprints, automated testing and continuous deployment keep risk low and feedback loops tight.

Performance & Value Review – success metrics are baked in from day one; post-launch analytics confirm ROI and expose new opportunities for optimisation.
