§ 01 / Three pillars

Three disciplines, one team, a fixed-price first step in each.

Every offer is at a fixed price, with a written quote and deliverable, up to 3 times cheaper than the European market for the same standards and expertise. The team that audits is the team that codes, migrates and maintains: nothing is left hanging between two providers.

§ 02 / What can be verified

What we can show

  1. Proof 01 · AI

    A public Malagasy speech model

§ 06 / Case studies

Three cases, one format: context, constraint, solution, outcome.

We only name a client with their written approval: client cases are anonymized, the speech recognition case is public.

Case 01 · Federation system

Client case · anonymized

Migration to microservices, adaptive two-factor authentication and passkeys.

Context
The information system of a national sports federation.
Constraint
Five connected applications to evolve together: management, mobile, members’ portal, competitions, payment.
Solution
Migration to microservices, adaptive two-factor authentication, passkeys.
Outcome
Audit findings handled according to the plan; adaptive two-factor authentication in production.

Stack

  • Microservices
  • Adaptive 2FA
  • Passkeys

Case 02 · AI · Voice

Sooatek project · public

A Malagasy speech recognition model, published with its measurements.

Context
Malagasy is a low-resource language: little annotated data, and models measured mostly on long recordings.
Constraint
Stay reliable on the short utterances a voice assistant receives, measured on speakers never heard in training.
Solution
A fine-tuned w2v-BERT 2.0 model, a language model, punctuation restoration and a version that runs on a CPU.
Outcome
12.7% word error rate on 11,625 unseen short utterances (with a language model; 14.3% without), against 21.5% for our previous model, a Whisper medium fine-tuned on the same data.

Stack

  • w2v-BERT 2.0
  • Language model
  • CPU version

Case 03 · Mobile

Client case · anonymized

iOS and Android apps published with in-app purchases.

Context
iOS and Android apps to be published on both stores, with in-app purchases.
Constraint
Strict publishing rules, specific to each store.
Solution
In-app purchases on iOS and Android, compliance fixes after a rejected submission.

§ 07 / Tsiaro

In-house tool · in production since October 2026

The assistant that lets no request slip between two time zones.

Tsiaro follows our emails, chats and tickets, spots what needs a reply and drafts it. A human validates every message sent. We use it every day before offering agents to our clients.

Illustrative example · fictional data

Illustrative example: Tsiaro suggests a reply; a team member validates, edits or ignores it, and has 10 seconds to cancel a send.

§ 08 / Team and guarantees

A team and principals in Madagascar, serving French-speaking businesses.

Madagascar is on UTC+3: one to two hours ahead of Paris, depending on the season. We start the day before you, and our principals steer projects on site, with the team. A team rather than a freelancer: code review, continuity, full handover.

§ 09 / Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Write to us.

What are your rates?

Every project is priced at a fixed price, in a written quote before work starts: scope, timeline, deliverables and price. As an indication, our rates are up to 3 times cheaper than the European market, for the same standards and expertise. Benchmark: the average day rate of an experienced developer in Western Europe (Morgan Philips Freelance 2025–2026 and Hays 2025 studies, published for France), compared with the price of a day of our team in Madagascar. The gap depends on the project; only the quote is binding.

How much does a security audit cost?

The security and GDPR audit is a 5-day fixed-price engagement (a 2-day express audit for a brochure site or a simple application), priced in the quote before we start. Active tests are only run with written authorization, in pre-production, and the same team can fix what the audit finds.

What do you do in artificial intelligence?

An assessment of your uses, AI integrated into your tools (a document assistant that cites its sources, agents, automation) and specialized models. We have released an open Malagasy speech recognition model, and our in-house assistant Tsiaro is in production at our company. A human validates every outgoing action.

Do you work as a white-label partner?

Yes. We deliver under your agency’s brand (documentation, reports, release notes) and we never contact your client directly: this rule is written into the partner contract. Agencies get −20% off the direct rate of all our offers.

Does our data leave Europe?

Our team works from Madagascar. Its access to your data may constitute a transfer outside the European Union: it is then covered in writing, in the GDPR data processing agreement (Article 28) and by standard contractual clauses. For AI, European or local models are possible when your data must not leave.

Who owns the code?

You do. The code is on your Git repository from day one, and the rights are assigned to you on payment.

What happens if we stop?

We organize a full handover within 30 days: code, documentation, access.

How do you handle the time difference?

Madagascar is on UTC+3, one to two hours ahead of Paris: most of the working day overlaps, and your project’s progress stays visible in your project space.

Do you use AI on our code?

Our in-house tools prepare code, tests and reports. A developer reviews and validates everything before production. We agree with you on what can be handled this way.
