AI-assisted, human-reviewed
Tools accelerate drafting and implementation—judgment, architecture, and customer-facing output stay human-owned.

Software for problems others overlook.
Not because we look harder — but because we start from a different point on the cognitive map. Neurodivergent thinking is not a handicap we compensate for. It is the method. And the software that results — Ferrum, BioResearch Assistant, HELIOS — works. Precision is not a side effect. It is a stance.

Software & Licence
You have a problem standard solutions do not solve. We work together — building on our existing software (Ferrum, BioResearch Assistant, HELIOS) or from scratch. Licence + feature development, or pure development. No vendor lock-in.
Embedded ConsultingScoped consulting and AI-assisted engineering with human-reviewed delivery—for architecture, bioinformatics, and teams that need a precise technical angle on a concrete problem.
This is not for everyone. If you need a precise protocol with no room for interpretation — we are probably not the right fit. If you want results others have not found — let's talk.
How we work
How we work
AI-assisted engineering with human-reviewed delivery, security-conscious workflows, and privacy-first design—from Stuttgart, for international teams.
Security & privacy by default
Least-privilege access, documented environments, and low data exposure unless explicitly agreed.
Clear scope & async collaboration
Written scope, direct language, short loops, and scheduled syncs for distributed teams.
Engagement models
Engagement models
From scoped consulting to embedded engineering—terms and deliverables agreed in writing per project.
Consulting
Architecture, bioinformatics, inclusion programmes, or technical strategy—time-boxed and explicit.
Embedded engineering
Senior capacity in your team for delivery-critical phases.
Training & workshops
Neurodiversity at work, AI literacy, and domain sessions for technical teams.
NDA-friendly · GDPR-aware workflows · documentation-first · async collaboration · English & German (French by arrangement). Details on Security & data and AI usage policy pages.
The Artefacts
Each of these projects grew from a concrete problem — not from a roadmap. They are visible proof of a particular way of thinking.
- BioResearch Assistant — Literature mining & MII export — on-premise, no cloud required.
- Ferrum — GA4GH infrastructure on your server — tested, verifiable.
- HELIOS — Genomics pipelines with signed audit trails — Apache-2.0, free.
Let's talk
No sales pitch — you describe your situation, we say honestly whether and how we can help.
Why we work this way
"Autism is not a system error — it is a different operating system."
People on the autism spectrum often bring precision, attention to detail, and the ability to see patterns others miss. That is not a metaphor — it is the reason our software looks the way it does.
Neurodivergence is not otherness. It is a different position on the cognitive map — equally valid, not deficient. Explore the cognitive map →
Open Research
Cognition without labels
PCMS is not a product and not a service. It is the research question behind everything: what if we described cognitive differences as positions on a map — rather than deviations from a norm? That is the idea that drives Synaptic Four.
