What we said about each
Our take on 010 Coding Collective
The recruitment case study is the one to read: FastAPI, LangChain, GPT-4 and PostgreSQL behind a CV-screening system that scores against stated job requirements only, refuses to train on historical hiring data, logs every decision, and passed an external audit—the compliance reasoning is written out at a level most AI shops leave to a sales deck. The Utilitarian shoe-return tool is live in INTERSPORT and Runnersworld stores as a white-label platform on the client's AWS, and the study says…

The positioning is AI-first, and the published work is integration: the Parexus inspection platform is a progressive web app whose API calls the client's own proprietary AI, the Narrates. ai engagement was product design and UX strategy for someone else's generative tool, and the Company. Info study—the one the site leads with for automation—is a Python, Node and Playwright crawler that processed 40,000-plus pages with no machine learning in it.

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
010 Coding Collective
Strengths
- Data residency is specified rather than assumed: hosting is stated as AWS in the EU region against a GDPR requirement written into the brief
- Case studies name what was deliberately left out—no custom model, no over-built architecture—which makes the delivery tradeoffs legible upfront
- Published service lines include code review and security audit of AI-generated codebases, with a free 1.5-hour scoping session and a written summary before any engagement
Watch-outs
- No rate is published and the team is 2-9 people—clarify capacity and pricing against the €100–200/h EU band before scoping a multi-month build
- Ask for a speakable reference behind the recruitment system: the audit result and the time savings are both stated without a name or a number attached
- No team page, founding year or named engineers are published—ask who specifically would build and who maintains the system after handover
Lizard Global
Strengths
- Published rates of €45–85/h sit well under the €100–200/h EU band for an application build around an existing model
- Fourteen years of continuous operation with a client name attached to every published study, so the delivery record is checkable end to end
- The Travereel work reports 55% monthly retention against industry benchmarks, which is a product outcome rather than a delivery milestone
Watch-outs
- No named ML or data engineers appear on the team pages—ask who would design the model layer if your brief needs one
- The AI-integration cost guides on the blog quote $40,000–250,000 for mid-sized enterprises; treat that as marketing content, not a quote
- Case-study outcomes on the AI work are qualitative—"reduced manual workload", "faster inspections"—so ask for the numbers behind them
