SLAs as serious as our satire
Principles
We run like a real company, on purpose.
Craft matters
Design systems, accessibility, and performance are baseline expectations—even when the concept is absurd.
Trust the process
Weekly demos, documented playbooks, and security reviews keep us accountable to customers and compliance.
Data in the loop
We instrument everything: deflection rates, rage-clicks, uptime, and onboarding speed.
People first
We build tools to give people back time. Satire is the wrapper; usefulness is the deliverable.
Leadership
Characters, not caricatures.
George Costanza
Leads by doing the opposite. Optimizes unavailability, operationalizes plausible deniability, and runs the “Do the Opposite” incident-response playbook.
Jerry Seinfeld
Sets the tone: confident delivery, deadpan roadmap. Keeps the punchlines on-brand, the latency low, and the dashboards spotless.
Elaine Benes
Owns product direction and user research. Responsible for the “yada yada” compression algorithm and all urban sombrero launches.
Cosmo Kramer
Idea fountain and chaos pilot. Built the first Auto-Busy Mode prototype between entrances. Also manages building access… poorly.
Newman
Ensures nothing unwanted gets through—calendar invites, packages, or well-meaning coworkers. Owns escalation routing and deflection analytics.
The Soup Nazi
Keeps governance tight and documentation stricter. No compliance gaps for you. Adds spice to every SOC 2 audit.
