Eight theses we ship by.
Software is too important to be locked behind layers of indirection. AI is too powerful to be a black box. Ownership is too non-negotiable to compromise on. Below is what that means in practice.
- 01
Your code belongs to you.
Every project exports as a clean repository — code you own, license you choose, infrastructure you control. There is no proprietary runtime, no kill switch, no built-with badge. We earn the next month, every month.
- 02
A working app is full-stack or it doesn't exist.
Front-ends without a database, an auth layer, an API and migrations are demos. VULK refuses to ship demos. Generation covers the whole stack — the boring parts included.
- 03
Models are tools, not religions.
Each phase — planning, generation, repair, validation — gets the model that performs best for that step. We benchmark, we route, we change them when something better appears. No model loyalty, only output quality.
- 04
Speed is a feature; correctness is the product.
A 30-second wrong app costs hours of debugging. We invest in validators, type-checking, and an autofixer loop because the second time is more important than the first time.
- 05
EU residency is a default, not an upsell.
Data lives in Frankfurt. Sub-processors are documented. GDPR isn't paperwork we bought — it's where we live. EU customers don't pay extra to feel safe.
- 06
Documentation is part of the product.
If you can't explain how it works, it doesn't work. The docs at support.vulk.dev are written by the same people who write the code, and updated in the same commit.
- 07
We eat what we cook.
Marketing site, internal tools, mobile app, dashboards — built and shipped through VULK. If a feature is bad in our own day-to-day, it doesn't reach customers.
- 08
No fakery. Ever.
No fabricated testimonials, no invented metrics, no investor logos we don't actually have, no quotes we wrote ourselves. When we have real proof we will show it; until then the product is the proof.
Signed.
By the founders, in code and copy. Hold us to it — every one of these is a button you can press on the product or a line you can read in the docs.
