RAS is shown in red, RAF in blue, and MEK in magenta. Pieces that are not included in the structures, including lipid groups attached to RAS and the flexible linkers between domains in RAF, are shown schematically.

Who this is for

  • Research groups tracking students, samples, experiments or grants
  • Laboratories and departments that report to funders or management
  • Small organisations with manual, spreadsheet-heavy processes

Problems we help with

  • Progress is tracked in scattered spreadsheets and nobody trusts the totals.
  • Monthly reports take days of copying and pasting.
  • Data arrive in inconsistent formats and need checking before every analysis.

What is included

Every item is labelled with what you are actually receiving.

Build
We build a tool, tracker or system that you own.
Analysis
We process your legitimate data and return results with the method.

  • Excel and Google Sheets reporting systems

    Build

    Multi-sheet systems with raw data, analysis and summary layers, validation rules and change logs.

  • KPI dashboards

    Build

    Dashboards that show the few measures that matter, with definitions agreed in writing.

  • Research progress trackers

    Build

    Student, milestone, sample and publication trackers for supervisors and groups.

  • Data cleaning and validation

    Analysis

    Documented rules for checking incoming data; every change is logged, nothing is silently altered.

  • Python and R workflow automation

    Build

    Scripts and small desktop tools that run multi-step processing with preflight checks.

  • Reproducible analysis pipelines

    Build

    Pinned environments, scripted steps and logs so results can be regenerated.

  • Scientific data visualisation

    Analysis

    Clear, accessible charts and figure templates.

  • Literature and document-processing workflows

    Build

    Organise, rename, extract and summarise document collections, locally where confidentiality requires.

  • Automated report generation

    Build

    Scheduled reports assembled from your sheets or databases.

  • Operational analytics for research teams

    Analysis

    Turnaround, workload and bottleneck analysis.

  • Client portals and project-status dashboards

    Build

    Simple status pages for your own clients or collaborators, scoped with access control from the start.

  • AI-assisted content and reporting workflows

    Build

    Drafting and summarising steps with a human approval step built in; local models where data are confidential.

  • Research group productivity tools

    Build

    Templates, checklists and small tools that remove repetitive work.

How it works

  1. 1Discovery call: what is tracked today, by whom, and what decisions it supports.
  2. 2Written specification with measures, data sources and a fixed price.
  3. 3Build in small working stages you can test.
  4. 4Handover with a plain-language guide and training; you keep the files and code.

You receive

  • Working tracker, dashboard, script or report
  • Plain-language owner guide
  • Source files and code, owned by you
  • Handover training session

What we need from you

  • Examples of current spreadsheets or reports (anonymised where possible)
  • Who uses the output and what decisions it supports
  • Access arrangements — we never need your passwords

Limits and exclusions

  • Automations depend on the stability of the tools and APIs they connect to; maintenance can be agreed separately.
  • AI-assisted steps always include human review; we do not deploy unattended AI that sends messages or publishes content.
  • Confidential or personal data are processed locally or within your own accounts, not uploaded to public AI services without your written consent.

We do not offer

  • Scientific interpretation (referred to our scientific lead or a named specialist)
  • Handling your passwords or credentials
  • Scraping or automation that breaches a platform’s terms

Questions

What evidence do you have for this work?

Our technology lead has a long background in operational reporting, KPI dashboards and quality systems, and recently built the Shopskon platform: a static site with automated feeds, a weekly multi-source report, and official-API publishing. See the case studies page; the figures there are from that project’s own logs and are not scientific results.

Do you use AI on my data?

Only with your agreement, and by default with locally run models so that files do not leave your control. Every AI step has a human check before anything is sent or published.
