01 — Services

What we do

Four ways to work together, one standard: it has to hold up in production two years from now.

Specialty

Agent-based development

Autonomous agent systems: model orchestration, tooling, guardrails, evaluation and costs that stay put. This is where we go furthest.

Learn more

Custom applications

Web and mobile products designed and built to carry real load — not demo load.

Learn more

Architecture consulting

Technical choices, service boundaries, debt and risk: a decision that is documented, costed and reversible.

Learn more

Modernisation & support

Taking over an existing system without a big bang: replace it in slices, in production, with tests.

02 — Approach

A method,
not a black box.

You always know what is done, what is left and what it costs. No surprise reports, no steering committee discovering the state of the project at delivery.

Source code and repositories stay yours, always
  1. 01

    Scoping

    One week, one document: the problem, the constraints, and what we will not do.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    The structural decisions are written down before the first line of code.

  3. 03

    Delivery

    Usable slices every two weeks, in production from the first one.

  4. 04

    Operations

    Observability, alerts, runbooks. We stay until your team is autonomous.

03 — Work

What we have built

Two products in production, three in the works. All designed, shipped and operated by methodox.

● In development Agent orchestration

Orchestrator

In development

Our in-house agent orchestrator: several coding agents work in parallel on the same repository, each in its own lane, with controlled review and merge. The foundation that lets methodox ship faster.

● danslevestiaire.com Sports media

Dans le Vestiaire

In production

Quebec sports media: news, rumours and live discussion. Rust (axum) and PostgreSQL API, Angular web app, Expo mobile app, fully containerised.

● acesync.app Mobile app

AceSync

In production

Tennis match tracking and analysis for players, parents and coaches, with AI assistance. Expo app, marketing site and API in production.

○ soon Consumer product

Potluck Expert

In the works

A new product currently in design. Details are coming — early access on request.

○ soon Hyperlocal platform

Folkspace

In the works

Neighbourhood news and community, local services and a used-goods marketplace: one platform for the world around the corner.

04 — About

Small, senior,
direct.

methodox inc. is the firm of Jean-François Ménard, a developer for more than thirty years. Thirty years spent on the delivery side: code, product management, leading teams.

Developer, then architect, then scrum master, then dev manager — at Hydro-Québec, Banque Nationale, Cogeco and UKG. Today methodox puts that experience to work on short, tightly scoped engagements, delivered by the person who designed them.

The house specialty is agent-based development: systems where autonomous agents do part of the work, with guardrails, measurable evaluation and a bill that does not drift. The rest — applications, architecture, modernisation — is the day job.

“Shipping fast starts with deciding clearly.”
Jean-François Ménard — founder and CEO
