## How Westland works

1. Listen: a free 30-minute call about the organisation's mission, data and technology.
2. Scope: a short, fixed-price discovery with a clear plan and real costs.
3. Build: software delivered in short cycles, with working software shown every couple of weeks.
4. Stay: clients own the code, data and documentation; Westland trains their team and can support and extend the system afterwards.

Principles: mission-aligned (green and blue economy only), light-footprint engineering (efficient code, right-sized infrastructure, low-carbon hosting), and plain-English advice, including when the right answer is not to build anything.

## Who's behind Westland

Westland is led by James Heaney, who has spent nearly thirty years running a data business that turns messy, inconsistent technical information into data people across an industry rely on. He is also a wildlife and landscape photographer. Projects are delivered by Westland's team of experienced engineers and data specialists.
