# Mobile app architecture

<!-- updated_at: 2026-04-20 17:12:01 -->

You can smell a bad mobile project from the parking lot: three vendors, two spreadsheets, and a "phase two" that never ships. We write this page for owners who are tired of being handed mockups nobody can operate on a rainy Tuesday in Tacoma. Phones are not the future—they are the present, especially when your staff clock in between school drop-off and a second shift.

We bias toward thin slices you can hand to a real human, not a keynote slide. If your gut says the workflow deserves a first-class surface, you are probably right. If your gut says you only need a PDF, we will say that too, even if it costs us a build.


## Structured data (JSON-LD)

The public **HTML** page at `/mobile-apps` emits `application/ld+json` with the following `@graph` (Organization, WebSite, WebPage, Article, BreadcrumbList, plus any custom nodes from **SEO JSON-LD extra** in Admin). Assistants should treat the HTML URL as canonical for search; this block is for parity and tooling.

```json
