Custom research software development

We build software for teams whose research work spans data, analysis and reporting. We start with the existing workflow and identify where a dashboard, integration or dedicated application would make it easier to run and maintain.

Describe your research workflow

What we build

Dashboards and reporting tools that make data and assumptions visible to the people using the results.
Research applications that take a study through input, analysis, review and export.
Integrations and workflow automation that pass data between existing tools and reduce manual handoffs.

We agree how data enters the tool, where it runs and who maintains it. We can test a representative workflow in a prototype and plan deployment, documentation, training and handover as part of the scope.

A research workflow in Causal Capybara

In Causal Capybara, a researcher can assign the treatment, outcome and comparison variables, inspect diagnostics, and compare estimates before exporting a script or report. The screenshot shows actual analyses on generated teaching data.

Causal Capybara compares three treatment-effect estimates, with the research question and assumptions alongside the results. — The study question, variables and method stay with the result. The local analysis workflow can be reviewed without using the optional remote assistant.

For a commissioned workflow, these are useful design questions: Which choices should a reviewer see? What needs to be reproducible from the export? Which data must stay in the team's environment?

When is a custom tool the right choice?

Start with Feldsberg Workspace if you need a shared place for projects, LaTeX and research knowledge. Discuss a custom build if your team needs a distinct analysis workflow, a data integration or a tool with specific hosting and handover requirements.

Tell us who will use it, what tools they use today, where the data lives and what they need to produce.
