A small team that builds dependable software for sensitive work.
FortisWorks is the private-systems practice of Top Speed AI, LLC, in Plano, Texas, building software for organizations that can’t afford to get privacy wrong.
Built on a simple idea: strength comes from restraint.
Fortis is Latin for strong. We named the practice for what clients need most: dependable software, no surprises.
Many tools promise everything and send your data who knows where. Ours do one job well, run where you can see them, and give the same answer every time.
Three principles behind every project.
Privacy first
We decide where your data lives before writing code. If a design can’t keep it inside your walls, we don’t build it.
Plain answers
No jargon or hype. We explain what the system does, how it handles your data, and what it won’t do.
Finished work
Fixed scope, a clear finish line, and a tool your staff can run alone. Success is the hours you get back.
One accountable point of contact.
