We build in the open.
Frameworks, tools, and methodology from 25 years of building on the Microsoft platform. Open source. Because the best way to prove your expertise is to show your work.
mdgraph
Workspace coordination for AI agents
mdgraph is a framework for structuring knowledge workspaces using markdown files. It defines conventions for folder hierarchies, README chains, entity registries, agent roles, memory systems, and cross-file coordination — turning a folder of markdown files into a navigable, machine-readable knowledge graph.
It was born from running DataChef's entire business operation through structured markdown — product specs, customer records, strategy documents, agent instructions. mdgraph is the pattern language that emerged.
README Chains
Every folder has a README. Parents reference children generically. Detail lives at the lowest level that owns it.
Entity Conventions
Named products, customers, and initiatives declared in frontmatter. Impact checks propagate changes across the workspace.
Agent Roles
Role files define scope, responsibilities, and read permissions for AI agents operating in the workspace.
Data Migration Framework
25 years of migrations, codified
A comprehensive framework for migrating professional services firms to Dynamics 365 Business Central. Methodology, mapping templates, validation patterns, transformation rules, and tooling — built from 25 years of doing it the hard way across 50+ engagements.
We've migrated firms from Dynamics FinOps, CRM, Business Central, LEAP, Smokeball, ActionStep, FilePro, Practice Evolve, Elite 3E, and systems that no longer exist. The framework captures every lesson, every edge case, every validation rule. Now we're packaging it for the BC community.
Methodology
End-to-end process: analysis, mapping, transformation, validation, cutover. Documented and repeatable.
Mapping Templates
Source-to-target field mappings for common PMS systems → Business Central + MatterX.
Validation Patterns
Automated checks for data integrity, referential integrity, trust account balancing, matter history completeness.
Tooling
Scripts and utilities for data extraction, transformation, and load. Open source.
