Projects and references
Three projects shaped Softanza. Two are references, each attested by a document; the third is a design study. Each is told here once, for a customer: what was asked, what exists, what it proved and its stage. What the library learned from each is on Forged in projects.
Three projects
Organizium, Niamey (built, in use)
Asked: to model a bank's organisation before its application, and to judge it by its own chart: its platforms, its security, its norms. What exists: the audit, the referential, a training module, and the Standard Edition under licence at the Sonibank, on the bank's internal network, with the regulators' rules, the BCEAO's and Basel III's, as validators of its chart. Proved: an organisation can be judged by its own chart.
Reference: the installation guide delivered to the bank · what the library learned
RestoLean, Lyon (built, first release)
Asked: a platform for neighbourhood commerce, carried by the owner of a couscous restaurant. What exists: a mission of analysis in 2024, specification stories written as narrations, then an application that runs, shown on a real phone by the owner himself: a constellation with a commons and several worlds, one for the customer's phone. Its ergonomic rule is at most two gestures per action. Proved: a specification is not a delivery.
Reference: amendment no. 1, closed on 4 August 2026 · what the library learned
DIKO, Niamey (design study)
Asked: a platform that speaks an organisation's own language and links its tools. What exists: a design study, not a delivery. Proved: it caused the payments port the library now has.
The references
Two of the three are references, and each is attested by a document: the installation guide delivered to the Sonibank, and RestoLean's amendment no. 1. Nothing else is a reference until a document proves it. A project is listed with its stage, never with the number of users or countries it is said to reach, and this site quotes no number of developers.
Write
Questions, defect reports and proposals go through the issues of the GitHub repository(opens in a new tab). A security flaw is reported privately through the repository's security advisories, as its SECURITY.md(opens in a new tab) says. To work with the author on an organisation's project: how these books are offered, and how to work with the author(opens in a new tab).
