/about // QA10 sp. z o.o. · Katowice 2026 · NVIDIA Inception · AWS Activate
Six people. Five practice areas. One operating system: LSO:ATOM. We don't sell hours. We sell engineered outcomes — with a guarantee that if we don't deliver, we refund part of the contract.
The owner knows exactly what they paid for a CNC machine in 2019. Down to the last zloty. They don't know what it costs them today to process a single order. Or a single complaint. Or a single quality check.
That's not their fault. It's a gap in Polish consulting.
The name QA10 comes from physics, not marketing. Q is quantum. A is atoms. 10 — the number of atoms that form our internal operating framework.
Democritus called it atomos — indivisible. He was wrong by two thousand years. 20th-century physics showed the atom has structure: nucleus, electrons, charges. You can split it — but then it ceases to be an element. It loses identity.
For us, an atom is the smallest unit of operational discipline that preserves repeatability. An audit that skips one step out of ten ceases to be an AIP Audit. A deployment that ends before verification in client data ceases to be a QA10 deployment. Identity lies in completeness, not in a single piece.
Ten such atoms compose LSO:ATOM — our internal framework in which we run the entire company every week.
We built it internally first. Each atom passed through our processes, our financial decisions, our client conversations, and our mistakes before it entered the external offering. Rare in consulting. We ran our own company through the same machine we propose to clients first.
SMBs in Poland generate over 67% of private-sector jobs and produce nearly half of GDP (PARP, SMB Sector Report, 2024). Yet productivity per employee is notably lower than the EU average (Eurostat, 2023).
The cause is not one-dimensional. But one ingredient repeats in every audit we run: the absence of Activity-Based Costing. Management at a 50-person company typically does not know the physical cost of processing a single order. Pricing and investment decisions are made on gut feel. That is a massive and invisible cost.
Big4 and strategy consultancies solve this for clients above 100M PLN revenue. Their audit costs around 800,000 PLN and takes six months — not because the problem is hard, but because the provider's cost structure demands it. Polish SMBs can't access that class of ABC. The provider is simply in a different price league.
QA10 fills that gap. The AIP Audit gives a 50-person company the same diagnostic data a Big4 client receives — for 7,500 to 90,000 PLN, in 4–12 weeks. We deliver a process map with numbers and three solution variants, each with a calculated ROI.
Marketing that has no methodology behind it frustrates us.
Digital transformation as a buzzword without a cost sheet frustrates us.
Implementation documents written in prose instead of tables frustrate us.
That's why LSO:ATOM requires one thing: every deliverable must be verifiable in client data. Every single one. No exceptions.
If you sense that your company only superficially knows what its own daily operations cost — let's talk. Thirty minutes, no slides, no commitment. On our side: numbers. On yours: a decision whether it makes sense.
/about/lso-atom // Logical System Operating · 10 atoms
LSO:ATOM differentiates us more than technology. Each atom is an operational principle enforced inside QA10 — translated into every client project. Your team improves because we adopted the same standards internally first.
Every process has a finite set of states. Every state has an unambiguous definition. Every transition is deterministic and logged.
Internally: every project has a state machine (kick-off → PM → interviews → ABC → architecture → validation → acceptance). For the client: after deployment every critical process has a state machine + transition monitoring.
Every critical service has an active alternative. Failover ≤4h. No alternative → executive escalation ≤2h.
Internally: every productivity tool has a backup stack. For the client: SLA hypercare 4h response on P1 written into the QCare contract.
Default distrust. Every request authorized. Every change logged. Least privilege.
Internally: staff access client data only during active project, segmented. For the client: deployments start with NIST SP 800-207 architecture by default.
Environments physically and network-separated: prod / staging / dev / test_external. No shortcuts.
Internally: each client has a dedicated workspace with no crossover. For the client: deployments create DMZ zones at infrastructure level, not application level.
Every production deployment (release, scale event) runs without manual intervention. Manual = post-mortem.
Internally: deployments via CI/CD; manual = post-incident exception. For the client: CI/CD from day 1.
Every service has a price list. Every price list has a cost model (LSO:ATOM cost drivers). Margin = function of value, not hours.
Internally: AIP Audit pricing is not negotiated — calculated from a model and published. For the client: we help build an analogous model for their price list.
Every incident has a post-mortem. Focus on the system, not the person. The human did not fail — the system allowed the human to fail.
Internally: every client-facing mistake has a blameless post-mortem. For the client: we recommend adoption — especially firms with high turnover.
Every cost, organizational, and technology decision backed by data or marked as hypothesis. Opinion ≠ direction. Numbers ≠ negotiable.
Internally: quarterly review based on metrics (utilization, NPS, churn). For the client: recommendations come from client numbers, not best-practice books.
Per-project pricing = function of value + risk + our margin (NOT per man-hour). The client pays for the outcome.
Internally: fixed-price + scope-fixed contracts. All services (AIP Audit, Funding Application) on fixed price. For the client: we help redesign contracts — many have legacy T&M and bleed margin.
Every deployment ends with a production system operating stably in the target environment — not a proof-of-concept presentation.
Internally: all our internal tools are production-grade. For the client: SLA with measurable KPIs, data-driven performance foundations — automation enterprise pioneers, standard setters.
