Building for Leverage

Our tagline is "Software for leverage." But what does that actually mean?

The Leverage Mindset

Leverage is about getting more output for the same input. A lever lets you lift something heavy with less force. Good software should work the same way.

When we evaluate a feature or product idea, we ask: How much does this multiply what someone can do?

• A tool that saves 5 minutes once is nice
• A tool that saves 5 minutes every day is 30 hours a year
• A tool that eliminates a task entirely is infinite leverage

Examples of High-Leverage Software

Automation over assistance. Don't help someone do a task faster—eliminate the task. If something can be automated, it should be.

Templates over blank pages. Starting from zero is expensive. Good defaults and templates give people a running start.

Integrations over data entry. Every time someone types something that already exists somewhere else, that's a failure of software design.

What We're Building

At Modulo, we're focused on tools for specific workflows where we can provide real leverage:

• Automating repetitive tasks in business software
• Connecting systems that should talk to each other
• Turning complex processes into simple ones

The goal isn't to build the most powerful software. It's to build software that makes you more powerful.
