Pretext Software Development

Before software is built, truth must be discovered. Cloud software is cheap to build — wrong assumptions are expensive.

The $50k Problem

Most software projects fail not because the code was wrong — but because the assumptions going in were never tested. Six months of build. Wrong market. Wrong workflow. Wrong problem.

Pretext Software Development runs a market intelligence phase before a single line of code gets written.

Phase 1

Signal Onboarding

Day 1 — we listen to what Google is already routing to your market. Real demand, real friction, real queries.

Phase 2

Workflow Mapping

Surface hidden APIs, system layers, and the workflow friction that operators won't say upfront.

Phase 3

Intelligence Report

30–60 day report: what to build, what NOT to build, and which system layer has the highest ROI.

Phase 4 (optional)

Cloud Build

After signal validation — Kromeon / SideGuy builds the right system based on what the market actually needs.

What Pretext surfaces that clients miss

$100–$200
market intelligence pilot

Before you spend $50k, spend a couple hundred to make sure it's the right build.

One conversation with PJ. Day 1 signal onboarding. Real intelligence before real money goes in.
