A note
from our CEO.
For two decades at Creo Solutions, we've sat across the table from general contractors, owners, and counsel. We've watched the same scene repeat itself, project after project. The answer is in the record. Nobody has time to find it.
Storia is our response. A platform that reads what every team already has, RFIs, change orders, schedules, daily logs, field reports, contracts, and gives back a searchable, source-linked record of the project. Decisions, not delays. Evidence on demand. Narratives backed by source.
We're a Montréal team building this for the people who carry the weight. If that's you, talk to us.
01 / Why we exist
Every project contains the intelligence needed to resolve its own disputes and answer its own questions.Our job is to surface it.
02 / How we work
Ten principles.
Zero slogans.
- 01
Act like a founder
Ownership at every level
- You notice incorrect reporting logic and fix it, even outside your sprint tasks.
- After shipping, you monitor metrics and respond to user feedback without prompting.
- 02
Move, then refine
Bias for action
- You build a quick prototype to align stakeholders rather than waiting for a full spec.
- You automate a repetitive task to unblock the team instead of waiting for process changes.
- 03
Ship, then improve
Deliver quickly, iterate relentlessly
- You launch the MVP version and use feedback to guide the next iteration.
- You cut non-critical features to keep the sprint on track, scheduling improvements later.
- 04
Validate through users
Think customer-first
- You reorder the backlog when feedback shows a smaller issue is actually a major blocker.
- You rework confusing UI text after a support ticket highlights user frustration.
- 05
Never settle
Raise the bar, every time
- You refactor legacy code for clarity and performance even though it's not required.
- You mentor a junior teammate on clean architecture to raise team quality.
- 06
Clarity over cleverness
Simplify the complex
- You replace an overengineered framework with a simpler one that's easier to extend.
- You create a concise diagram that makes a multi-step process clear in seconds.
- 07
Analysis fuels action
Data-informed, not data-paralyzed
- You run a quick A/B test on partial insights instead of waiting weeks for full research.
- You act on user drop-off patterns early, testing small changes before committing to a redesign.
- 08
Challenge ideas, not people
Collaborate with trust
- You proactively loop in a teammate from another team to avoid downstream friction.
- You openly share blockers in stand-up, inviting input to move forward.
- 09
Say what's true
Earn trust through transparency
- You flag a potential delay during planning and work with the team to adjust scope.
- After a production issue, you lead a blameless post-mortem and document the fix publicly.
- 10
Bold ideas, grounded steps
Think big, build smart
- You propose a bold product vision but start by testing one flow with a pilot group.
- You suggest a new ML feature but launch with rule-based logic first to prove value.
Working at Storia
Non-hierarchical.
Outcome-driven.
Montréal-based.
We hire infrequently and carefully. If these principles describe how you already work, we'd like to hear from you.
