Introducing Acme Logic Works

Welcome to Acme Logic Works. We're here because we believe software development can and should be better.

The Problem We See

Too many software projects fail not because of technical complexity, but because of misaligned expectations, poor communication, or solutions that don't actually address the core business needs. We've seen startups burn through funding building the wrong thing, enterprises struggle with systems that don't scale, teams lose momentum under crushing technical debt, and companies pour resources into AI pilots that never reach production. These aren't isolated incidents - industry research shows that only 29% of IT project implementations are truly successful:contentReference1, nearly half of tech projects run over budget or behind schedule:contentReference2, and a staggering 95% of enterprise AI initiatives fail to deliver any tangible ROI:contentReference3.

The industry moves fast, but the fundamentals of good engineering remain constant: clarity of purpose, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the problems we're solving.

Our Approach

Engineering Excellence

We write clean, maintainable code. We test thoroughly. We design systems that work today and adapt for tomorrow. This isn't about being perfectionist—it's about being professional. Good engineering practices aren't overhead; they're insurance against future problems.

Clear Communication

No jargon, no surprises. We explain technical decisions in business terms and keep you informed every step of the way. You should understand not just what we're building, but why we're building it that way.

Strategic Thinking

Technology serves business goals, not the other way around. Before we write the first line of code, we make sure we understand your constraints, priorities, and definition of success. The best technical solution is useless if it doesn't solve the right problem.

Practical Solutions

We choose the right tool for the job not necessarily the newest or most buzz-worthy one. Our solutions are designed for real-world constraints: your budget, your timeline, your team's capabilities, and your users' actual needs.

Augmented Intelligence

We leverage an AI-powered development toolkit to amplify our team's capabilities. Using state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs), autonomous coding agents, and our curated Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, we can assess and develop systems across diverse languages, codebases, tech stacks, and architectures. This structured, data-driven approach helps catch issues and explore solutions faster, all while keeping our expert developers in the loop. In practice, AI is a force-multiplier for our engineers - accelerating routine tasks and providing insights - but every decision is still guided by human expertise. We embrace cutting-edge AI to build better software without ever losing sight of real business goals. (In other words, we're AI-forward in our methods, but we're not an "AI company" chasing hype. The focus is always on profitable, resilient solutions, not tech fads.)

What We Build

  • Custom Software Development: Full-stack applications, APIs, integrations, and modernization projects. We work with the technologies and architecture that make sense for your specific situation.
  • AI & Agentic Automation: Intelligent systems that enhance productivity and decision-making. Not because AI is trendy, but because well-applied automation can genuinely improve how your business operates.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Scalable infrastructure and deployment pipelines. We help you build systems that can grow with your success, with reliability and efficiency.
  • Tech Due Diligence: Comprehensive technical assessments for investments, acquisitions, and strategic decisions. Sometimes you need an outside perspective on what you've built or what you're buying.

Who We Work With

Our clients range from early-stage startups to established enterprises, but they all share a common thread: they understand that software is a strategic asset, not just a cost center.

We work best with teams that value transparency, are open to collaboration, and want to build something that lasts. If you're looking for quick fixes or cutting corners, we're probably not the right fit. But if you want to build something meaningful, solve real problems, and create lasting value—let's talk.

What's Next

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing insights on engineering practices, project management, technology decisions, and lessons learned from real projects. We're not interested in promoting the latest framework or methodology for its own sake—we want to share what actually works in practice.

Whether you're a technical founder trying to scale your engineering team, a product manager navigating technical trade-offs, or an executive trying to understand why that last project took so long, we hope you'll find something useful here.
