About
One shop that covers the whole stack, because you cannot afford four.
BARSS is the practice of Wesley Bertil. It exists because of a gap that anybody working in Haiti already knows: the organizations doing the most necessary work are the ones least able to pay for a researcher, an analyst, a designer, a developer, and a consultant as five separate line items.
So the shop covers all five. The research, the reporting, the market study, the website, and the structural advice come from one operator who has the context already loaded, which is the only reason the pricing works.
The technical position is deliberate. Everything gets built as something you own and can run without us... static sites instead of CMS subscriptions, cleaned datasets handed back instead of dashboards you rent, templates instead of dependency. A vendor who makes themselves permanently necessary is a vendor who has stopped working for you.
Behind the client work sits a large independent research corpus on the economics of extraction in Haiti and elsewhere. It is not the product, but it is why the data pipeline exists, why the source discipline is what it is, and why nobody has to explain the context of a Haiti engagement from scratch.
One operator means one calendar. Capacity is real and engagements get scheduled, not stacked. If the date you need does not work, you will be told that in the first reply rather than the third week.
How we work
Five commitments that shape every engagement.
- You own what we build. Source code, domain, cleaned data, templates, working files. Handed over, not licensed back.
- Every number is traceable. If a figure cannot be tracked to a source, it does not go in the document.
- Written scope, fixed price. The question, the sources, the deliverable, the date. Agreed before work starts.
- Built to be maintained without us. If your team cannot update it after we leave, it was built wrong.
- In the language your audience reads. Kreyòl, French, and English written properly, not run through a translation widget.
