We build the clarity, structure, and scalability that help organisations move from exploration to execution — combining systems thinking, service design, and AI-driven development.
We design and deliver AI-enabled systems that make organisations smarter, faster, and more adaptive — combining strategy with practical execution. We work upstream of the deliverable and stay through to delivery.
Transformed a static enterprise knowledge platform into an AI-augmented decision system — introducing structured workflows, intelligent collaboration, and decision-support capabilities enabling teams to move from information storage to dynamic, AI-assisted operations.

Live experiments, tools, and prototypes built at the intersection of AI capability and real organizational need.
Perspectives on AI systems, organisational design, and what it actually takes to make intelligent systems work.
Articles, observations, and frameworks from 15+ years of designing complex systems — now applied to the realities of AI adoption in organisations.
View all Signals →Context architecture, reasoning distortion patterns, QA test design, and what it takes to make AI behavior predictable and maintainable over time.
How the best enterprise systems are designed backwards — from the operational moment outward.
It's not about the tools. It's about the conditions that make AI adoption durable.
Most organisations don't have a design problem. They have a systems problem — signals that don't reach the right people, decisions made too slowly, and change initiatives that target mindsets instead of redesigning the conditions.
Founded by Chrys Li and part of the TAILORU Collective, 7modes works with teams ready to bridge human insight and intelligent systems to create real impact.
We operate upstream of the deliverable — but we don't stop there. We identify and structure the optimal configuration within complex systems, then carry it through into executable solutions.
