Ex Machina

Proof / Lab

Don't take our word for it.

Small, honest, interactive demonstrations of the post-agency argument. All client-side JavaScript, all built by our own agents — each one logged in the build log.

Demo 01 — The thesis

FIG. 01

The coordination simulator

Every pair of people on a team is a communication channel that must be fed: meetings, alignment, handovers. The number of channels grows as n(n−1)/2 — quadratically, while the work grows linearly at best.

Drag the slider. Watch what your invoice actually pays for.

5 people · 10 channels

Five people: ten channels. Everyone still knows everything.

Demo 02 — The velocity

FIG. 02

The Gantt race

The same landing-page project, twice. Above: the traditional pipeline with its queues between phases. Below: the Ex Machina loop — decide, build, show, repeat, from day one.

One second per ten days. Press start; you have time to blink, once.

Traditional agency day 0
Ex Machina day 0

84 days of process versus 10 days of loop. Same deliverable.

Demo 03 — The money

FIG. 03

The quote translator

Take any traditional agency quote and see what the money actually buys, based on the cost structure of the old model: layers, coordination, meetings, handovers — and the part that is actual work.

The breakdown uses typical large-agency economics. That's not an accusation. It's how the model has to work at 100+ people — we know, we ran one.

Account & project management layers—
Internal coordination, meetings, reporting—
Handover & rework loss—
Agency overhead & margin—
The actual work—
Same work, post-agency model—

Illustrative, based on typical cost structures of large agencies — your quote may be better. Ask for ours and compare.

Demo 04 — The artifacts

FIG. 04

The deliverables configurator

This is not a mockup: it runs on the same data that generates our deliverables pages. Pick a scenario, keep the phases you need, and read exactly what you'd receive.

Then send us the list as-is — it becomes the scope of your quote. The list is the contract.

Demo 05 — The craft

FIG. 05

The material playground

Every service on this site has its own generative material — code columns, radar arcs, film strip — drawn by ~150 lines of canvas code. Every social card is rendered from the same functions.

Same code, your hands: pick a material, roll the seed, tune the density, take the PNG home.

Demo 06 — The meta

FIG. 06

This website

The least glamorous demo is the one you're using. 40+ pages, designed, written, built and deployed by our own agents under senior direction. View the source — it's clean. Check the speed — it's instant. Read how it was made.

  • Static HTML, no client framework — loads in milliseconds
  • Every page written and structured by agents, edited by humans
  • Design system, SEO, sitemap and social cards — all generated
  • Deployed automatically from git on every change
