01 / Independent digital studio / Ghent
Software built

Scope specimen — illustrative format
02 / How the studio operates
Clear scope is part of the craft.
2.1
Public price
You can see the starting point before a call. If scope changes, the change is written down — never discovered on the invoice.
See how pricing works →2.2
Independent review
Someone who did not make the work reviews the delivery before handover, against the brief and the standard.
See the review step →2.3
Written ethics
No manipulative conversion, no silent expiry, no hidden ownership traps. The rules are published, not implied.
Read the ethics →03 / Capability index
Built for work that needs more than a nice interface.
Qognis is most useful when the business logic, technical constraints, and customer experience all need to make sense together.
MVP · SprintComplex product foundationsTechnical B2B platforms, internal tools, research software, AI-enabled products, and founder-led MVPs.
Useful when
You have a complex offer, a technical team, or a meaningful decision to make.
What leaves the studio
A scoped plan and working software you can build on — with the reasoning documented.
AuditDecision-ready auditsA short, rigorous diagnosis of a product, architecture, user journey, or website.
Useful when
Something is stalled, unclear, or drifting and you need an honest read before spending more.
What leaves the studio
Findings, priorities, and a recommended path — including "do nothing yet" when that is the right answer.
Website SprintHigh-trust marketing sitesWebsites for serious technical businesses where clarity has to carry the sale.
Useful when
Your product is credible but the site is not doing it justice for a technical buyer.
What leaves the studio
Strategy, design, build, and a CMS handover your team can actually maintain.
Multilingual · RTLMultilingual product systemsProducts designed from the start to work across languages and reading directions as one coherent system.
Useful when
You serve more than one language and refuse to treat translation as an afterthought.
What leaves the studio
A directional, typographic, and component system built for genuine bilingual and RTL use.
Selected work will be published where confidentiality allows. The formats above describe real capability — not fictional case studies.
04 / Ways to engage
Six formats. One standard of work.
Each format names what it can deliver — web, Flutter mobile, applied AI, multilingual — with the scope written down before work begins.
Public starting points, not bait prices. Prices exclude VAT.
See the full ledger — engagements from €3,000 →What moves a project upward?
Unknowns, integrations, multiple user roles, multilingual or RTL requirements, compliance, AI features, migration, content production, and a broader definition of "done". Not the mood of a sales call.
05 / Review protocol
The maker does not mark their own work.
Build
The work is built against a scope we agreed and wrote down in full, before the project starts.
Independent review
A reviewer who did not make the work checks it against the brief, quality, and accessibility.
Handover record
You receive access, source material, documentation, and a clear record of what was delivered.
- No riba, no gharar, no maysir
- No interest (riba / الربا), no deceptive or uncertain terms (gharar / الغرر), no gambling (maysir / الميسر) — never in our pricing or our builds.
- No haram industries
- We don't build for prohibited industries: alcohol, gambling, adult content, illicit drugs, pork.
- No disappearing value
- Credits and customer money do not silently expire.
- No ownership ambiguity
- Access, source, responsibilities, and handover are explicit.
- No theatre
- Claims, timelines, availability, and evidence are stated plainly.
07 / Questions founders ask
Direct answers, before the call.
Why publish prices?
Because a serious buyer should not need a sales call to learn the starting point. Public ranges filter for fit and save both sides time.
Who performs the independent review?
A reviewer who did not make the work checks it against the brief, quality, and accessibility. The result is noted in your handover record.
What if we are not sure which format fits?
Send the problem, not a brief. We will recommend a format in plain terms — or say honestly that none fits yet.
Do you work outside Belgium?
Yes. We work remotely across Europe and beyond, and communicate in English, Dutch, French, and Arabic.
Do you build AI features?
Yes — as scoped product features, not magic. AI work is scoped by user workflow: model provider, evaluation, safety, and operating cost are written down like any other requirement. If AI does not serve the workflow, we will say so.
08 / Start with the real question
Have a difficult software problem?
Send the context, constraint, or decision you are facing. We will tell you plainly whether an audit, sprint, website, MVP — or no engagement — is the right next move.
