We've run the operations.

Most AI projects fail because they're built by people who've never run operations. We have. That's why we build different things.

Why we started.

An empty auditorium facing a big display, its cables lying unplugged on the floor.

Lekke Logic exists because most AI projects fail in the same way, and we got tired of watching it happen from the inside.

The pattern is consistent. A vendor pitches an AI platform. The platform demos beautifully. Six months in, the project is still in "pilot." Twelve months in, the team has quietly stopped using it. Eighteen months in, someone builds a Zapier flow that does 80% of the job for 5% of the cost.

The vendors aren't bad engineers. They're often great engineers. They're just building the wrong thing, because they've never sat in a compliance team at 5pm on a Friday, or watched a sales rep manually triage 200 inbound leads, or seen a support agent burn out on Tier-1 tickets. They build "platforms" because that's what venture-funded software companies do. The companies buying them don't need a platform. They need a system that does a specific job.

So we don't sell platforms.

We don't sell "frameworks-as-a-service." We don't have a roadmap of features waiting on your data. We build the specific system that does the specific job, in your stack, on your data, with the constraints your business actually has.

And we'd rather lose the deal than ship something we wouldn't run ourselves.

See what we build

Six commitments.

How we work, written down so you can hold us to it.

Two figures at a drafting table fitting a black block and an orange block together into one square.

  1. We don't sell tools we don't use.

    If we recommend a vendor, we've shipped on them. If we recommend an open-source stack, we've run it in production. No referral fees.

  2. If it won't ship in 8 weeks, we won't take it.

    Long projects fail more than short ones. We'd rather split a big problem into two 6-week builds with a real release in between.

  3. You own everything. Code, models, weights, data.

    From day one. No "platform fees." No hostage code. You can fire us next week and the system keeps running.

  4. We ship to production, not to staging.

    "Working software" means real users in production. If your project doesn't get there, we haven't done our job.

  5. We'll say no.

    Sometimes AI isn't the right answer. Sometimes the workflow needs a process change, not a model. We'll say so before you spend a Rand.

  6. Eat the cost when we're wrong.

    If our estimate is off, that's on us, not on you. We'd rather lose margin than lose trust.

Built in Johannesburg. Working globally.

We're remote-first and Joburg-based. We work with South African clients in fintech, SaaS, and media, and with international teams on engagements that fit our hours.

Got a workflow that needs a system?

30 minutes. No deck. We'll tell you whether to build it, and if so, roughly what it'll take.
