Introducing SPEQ: Two Engineering Leaders Join Forces

After leading large-scale development teams at Fortune 500 retailers, we've seen the same challenges repeatedly: miscommunication between stakeholders, ambiguous requirements, and specs that become outdated the moment they're written. As AI coding tools accelerate development, these problems are only intensifying.

That's why we're joining forces to build SPEQ—an AI-powered platform that makes specifications a living part of the software development process, not just static documentation.

Our Partnership

The Problem We're Solving

Throughout our careers, we've witnessed how traditional specification processes break down:

• Specs become outdated instantly – Documentation written at project start rarely reflects the final implementation
• Context gets lost – Critical decisions and trade-offs aren't captured, leaving future maintainers guessing
• AI tools amplify the problem – Faster coding without clearer specs just means faster delivery of the wrong solution
• Teams talk past each other – Product, design, and engineering often work from different mental models

Our Vision

SPEQ transforms specifications from static documents into living, collaborative artifacts that evolve with your codebase. We're building tools that:

• Keep specs synchronized with implementation through AI-assisted analysis
• Capture decision context automatically as development progresses
• Bridge communication gaps between stakeholders with shared, always-current specifications
• Empower AI coding tools with clear, comprehensive requirements for better results

What's Next

We're currently in active development, building SPEQ with the same AI tools we're creating it for. We plan to open access to a limited audience in early 2026, and we're excited to learn from early adopters.
