Studio
Enterprise engineering, for the operations the big firms won’t quote.
The studio
A product studio in Barrington, Illinois. Custom web apps, automations and analytics, held to one name and one standard.
The name
Grace Hopper wrote the first compiler and kept a clock on her wall that ran backwards, her answer to anyone who said “we’ve always done it this way.” Grace is the discipline: precision, no waste, no shortcuts. Zero is the standard: zero defects, zero data loss, zero hidden costs, zero surprise failures. Complete zero is impossible. Aiming at it is the point.
The standard
Scoped before kickoff. Documented at handoff. Monitored from launch. What you see is what was built.
The founder
GraceZero was founded by Bill McCoy after twenty-five years on Fortune 500 data and cloud platforms, where he built the systems, tested them until they broke, and was on call when they did.
