01 · Overview
What the work is designed to change.
Eastern Light builds software for teams that need a working product, not just a mockup. This can include SaaS MVPs, customer portals, admin dashboards, internal tools, content systems, data review interfaces, subscription workflows, and lightweight business applications. The work starts with the workflow: who uses it, what they need to do repeatedly, what data they need to see, and where the system should reduce manual work.
