Ports, hospitals, funds and governments all run on hidden rules. We read them, model them and build the software that runs them — written by agents, signed by engineers.
Machines can now write software at the speed of thought. Writing was never the hard part. Knowing what to build — and being certain it is right — is. That is the work we do.
02 — The foundry
Agents write. Engineers sign.
Every Syntax build runs the same loop. Agents draft, test and document in parallel. Senior engineers review intent, architecture and security. Nothing reaches production without a human signature.

03 — The engine
The week took ten years.
A working prototype within the week isn’t AI on its own. It runs on ten years and millions of dollars invested in our own systems and AI engines — six layers under every release, with senior people at each one.
Under every releaseSix layers
01
Build
Our own agents and toolchain draft, test and document the routine in parallel, so senior engineers spend their hours on judgement.
Scaffold · draft · test · document
02
Performance
Profiled and load-tested against realistic volumes before release — not after the first complaint.
Profile · load-test · tune

Interface
A design system refined over years of shipping: accessible, responsive and consistent on every screen.

Quality
Automated suites run on every change, then QA specialists make the human pass.

Security
Dependencies scanned, secrets checked, access reviewed — and the code read for intent, not just syntax.

Compliance
Evidence gathered as the work happens: what changed, who approved it and why.

AI doesn’t make serious software small.
It is still a great deal of senior work. What AI changes is reach: the same team builds more, checks more and secures more of it — on every release.
CertificationWe’ve helped clients achieve ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
A fund, a hospital and a port look nothing alike. Underneath, they share a grammar — entities, rules, flows and decisions. Learn it once, and you can build for anyone.

01 Capital · funds, trusts, banking, wealth
Capital has a syntax.
Every pound moves through entities, mandates, approvals and jurisdictions. We build the platforms that move it: agents reconcile, screen and draft — people approve.
Rotas, referrals, records and regulation. Care runs on structures most software ignores. We build staffing, consultation and records platforms where agents carry the paperwork and clinicians keep the judgement.
Permits, benefits, procurement, registries — public services are rule systems at national scale. We design them for tender, build them for audit, and run them with agents that never lose a case file.
Every parcel, vessel and van is a constraint problem. We build dispatch, routing and fleet systems that re-plan in milliseconds — and can explain every decision they make.
Herds migrate, grids balance, weather moves. We build field and monitoring systems that recognise patterns early — from detecting changes in the field to watching assets across a continent.
Finance, people, procurement, sales, property — fifty systems that never quite agree. Stryke puts them on one core, configured around how you actually work.
Fourteen experiments — chemistry, flocks, neural networks, solvers, language models — each one computing live in your browser in the lab. Built on our own engines, and reviewed line by line by our engineers.
Finance, people, procurement, compliance, grants, operations — activated and configured precisely around how your organisation works. Only what you need, live in weeks, with agents built in.
