Software for the
way people actually
want to work.

We build tools that fix specific, irritating problems in modern work. Finding a good place to focus. Writing a survey that won't embarrass you. Two products so far. More on the way.

§01 · About

01/03

A small studio that builds the software it wishes existed.

Metric House started in 2026 as a software company built around Knowmad, a remote-work discovery app, and grew into a second product, Formulate, when we realized the surveys we needed didn't exist either.

That's the pattern. We notice a workflow that's quietly broken. The kind of thing people put up with because they think it's just how it is. We build the version we'd actually want to use and ship it.

01

Specific over general

Each product solves one problem well. We'd rather make Knowmad excellent than build a platform.

02

Quiet by default

No dark patterns, no growth-hacked notifications. The software gets out of your way.

03

Independent

Self-funded so we can move slow on the things worth getting right.

§02 · Products

Two things, made well.

Both are independently developed and supported by Metric House. Click through for full product sites.

Formulate

The AI-powered survey teammate you need to develop, deploy, and analyze your work.

Trained on PhD-level and corporate-level knowledge and experience, Formulate gives you the methodology guardrails to generate the insights you actually need. It catches the leading questions, vague scales, and double-barreled prompts before your respondents ever see them.
