02 · The trigger

Mechit was looking for a partner to take on the simulator software, with an opening already on the calendar.

The project was underway and the date couldn't move. They needed a team that could join mid-course, quickly understand what was there and take it all the way to opening day.

03 · The technical problem

The software that drives a cabin's motors can't be tested by clicking around: it needs the actual machine, and the machine is wherever it is. Commands have to respond instantly, because a delay is felt physically, and a venue has to run without a technician on site — whoever manages it doesn't know, and doesn't need to know, what's underneath.

04 · What we did

We picked up the project where it stood and got it to the deadline. Then, over time, we took on the technical core — the boards that drive the actuators, the interfaces, the venue management — one piece at a time and on request, not all at once. We never asked for exclusivity: other parts of the product stayed with other vendors, and that's fine.
