What we make
Products for exacting technical work
FaultNav and ControlTrail serve unrelated markets, but both are designed for work where a plausible answer is not good enough.

Company / Kansas City, Missouri
Two founders. One standard for correctness.
Sheridan Labs is two people—a father and a son—building in Kansas City. We are a software product company. We build and own our products; selective custom development is a secondary line of business, not our primary identity.
Our foundation
A product company, not an agency
We build and own our software products. Selective custom development remains available, but it is not the company’s primary identity.
Custom development / Secondary
Selective by design
We also take on custom work selectively, where the problem is hard and correctness matters.
Correctness matters
