We do the digital
dirty work.
Reducing the friction involved in necessary economic activity.
The work behind the work: checking one file against another, untangling awkward exports, reconciling records and making sure a digital handoff did what it was supposed to do.

Unnecessary friction.
Ordinary economic activity depends on digital tasks that are often tedious, repetitive and easy to get wrong. Digital Grease Trap explores ways to make that work easier to carry out and easier to check.
The answer might be software, an integration, a cleaner export, a repaired workflow or a simple workaround. We start with a practical problem and test whether we can make the work easier.

Inspect the experiment →Tell us where the friction is.
Repetitive checking, an awkward export, a handoff that keeps going wrong. Describe the task in general terms, what makes it difficult and what you already use.
An initial assessment may lead to a useful free workaround, a proposal for scoped paid work, or a decision that we cannot help. Asking for help carries no obligation to buy anything.
