About the studioFounded 2024 · Production studio

A small studio that
ships for real,
and stays.

We are PRTOTYPE.COM, a production studio built around a simple belief: the hardest and most valuable part of software is no longer writing it. It’s making it safe to ship, and keeping it alive afterwards. So that’s what we do. Audits, written specifications, production builds and ongoing maintenance, in real design and real code.

We’re a small, senior, British-led team, and we work in the open, alongside yours. The missing o in our name marks the unfinished part of an idea. It used to be the prototype. Now anyone can make a prototype. The missing o is production. That is exactly where we start.

What we believe

Opinions are cheap and demos are easy now. What settles arguments in 2026 is software that survives real users. We’d rather audit the thing, write the spec, ship it properly, and let the uptime be the argument.

the PRTOTYPE.COM way
How we think

Four principles we
actually work by.

a
Make, don’t debate

We answer questions by shipping the smallest real thing that proves or kills an idea. Not by writing another deck about it. That hasn't changed since day one.

b
Spec first, then real code

Every build is priced and tested against a written specification: modules, acceptance criteria, a fixed price on each. AI writes code fast; the spec is what stops it drifting. The spec is yours to keep.

c
In the open, with you

You see progress every few days and sit in the room with us. Nothing hidden, nothing held back for a final unveiling, no surprises on the invoice.

d
Small, senior, fast

A tight team of senior people on fixed prices. Fewer hand-offs, less overhead: an audit report in your hands within a week.

eThe studio
3 people · senior team

Three people, on the tools.

Jason is a former CISSP and Certified Ethical Hacker; the security review is run by someone who has done it for a living, not bolted on at the end.

01
Founder & strategy
Jason Ensor

Sets direction, scopes the audits, and keeps every engagement pointed at the one question that matters: what does it take to ship this safely?

02
Specification & delivery
Julia Holbrough

Turns audits into precise, testable specifications, then runs delivery against them. Years of project management behind the method.

03
Engineering & build
Marcus Johnson

Takes the spec to production-grade code: hardening, integration, private LLM deployment, and the Maintain work that keeps it all alive.

fA short history

Since 2024, one method.

2024
The studio opens

PRTOTYPE.COM is founded on one rule: prototype before you pitch.

o
2025
First enterprise client

A fast prototype convinces a business to greenlight a product, and to keep us on to build it.

o
2025
AI-native workflow

We rebuild our process around AI tooling, cutting delivery time without cutting quality.

o
2026
Now everyone can prototype

AI tools put a working demo within anyone's reach, so we moved to the part they can't do. The studio repositions around production: audits, specs, hardening, private LLMs and Maintain. Same missing o, new meaning.
