Pull up a stool
Every business stands on three legs.
A three-legged stool never wobbles on uneven ground, because three points always make a flat plane. It only tips when one leg is short.
Most businesses are strong on two legs and quietly short on the third: systems that run the work, people who can do the job, or a clear view of who they serve. Find the short one first.
Which leg is short in your business?
Slide each bar to match how your business is doing today. Watch the stool tilt.
Inference The three legs are our way of seeing a business, built from the owners we work with. Each is backed by research, and we keep testing the model with every client.

ShiftDecoder
We help businesses stop guessing about customers, people and operations.
ShiftDecoder is built in Kampala to close the gap between Africa’s young workforce and the businesses, employers and economies that need it.
Serious about the work. Light about ourselves.
The 20 minute diagnostic
Three gaps repeat across the continent.
1
Decisions without insight
Businesses decide without real evidence about the people they are trying to reach.
2
Skill that cannot be verified
Employers cannot tell verified skill from an inflated CV.
3
Work still done by hand
Operations that should be automated still run on manual effort, one WhatsApp message at a time.
This is our reading of the market, built from what clients and employers tell us. We close all three together, not as separate side projects.
Verified Fact 23.5% of Ugandans are aged 18 to 30, and 50.9% of them are not in employment, education or training (2024 census).
