HONORS

Golf league software for commissioners. Scores, standings and handicaps in one place: post the scores and HONORS keeps the rest. No more spreadsheet and group text.

It's also the proof: TBD PDX designed, built and runs it, from the data model to the deploy.

For businesses working around a spreadsheet, a missing tool or a system that doesn't fit.

The work is already happening. It's just held together by copy-paste and one person who knows how it all fits. TBD PDX turns that into a system.

  1. Replace the workaround.

    The spreadsheet, the copy-paste routine and the tool that almost fits become software that matches how the work really runs.

  2. Data that answers real questions.

    The systems already in place get connected, and the reporting answers the questions people actually ask.

  3. AI on your own information.

    AI put to work on the business's own data and rules, inside the tools people already use.

Built on years of building quoting and data systems for a manufacturer.

How it's built

  1. 01

    Model the real work first.

    Before any code: how the work actually moves, the rules behind it, and the exceptions everyone forgets to mention.

  2. 02

    Build it properly once.

    A sound structure from the start, so the system holds up when the business changes instead of growing new workarounds.

  3. 03

    Write the decisions down.

    Every important choice is recorded, so the system stays understandable long after launch.
