Measure before proposing
An audit of the real export costs little and frequently redirects the project. Proposing before measuring is guessing with an invoice.
A Cyprus engineering company working on the layer of commerce nobody photographs: catalogues, integrations and the logic underneath.
Almost every commerce problem escalated to us as urgent turns out to have started in the product data two years earlier.
Storefronts get rebuilt every few years. The catalogue underneath usually does not — it accumulates. New categories are bolted on, units drift, the same product arrives twice under different supplier names, and one day the filters stop being useful and nobody can say exactly when that happened.
QUORATH works on that layer. It is less visible, harder to demonstrate in a pitch and considerably more consequential than the design refresh that usually gets funded instead.
We start every engagement with a measured audit of the real data, because it is cheap, fast and regularly changes what the client thought the project was.
Values are cheap to write down. These are the ones that cost us something when we follow them.

Every AI component has to show the manual hours it removed. If it cannot, it is a demo, not a system.
The product model is designed to absorb new categories and channels without a rebuild, because rebuilds are what we are usually called in to repair.
George Zourides is the director of QUORATH LTD and is accountable for what the company commits to.
The audit that opens each engagement is deliberately small so that saying "this does not need a platform project" stays an easy thing to do.
Never propose a build before you have measured the data it will run on.
Send an export and the number of products. An audit answers more in two weeks than a workshop does in two months.
