About
We built this because our own forms kept coming back empty.
DANK Studio writes case studies. To write one, we need the story: how the project started, what nearly went wrong, what actually changed for the client. So we did what everyone does and sent a long intake form.
It came back with four of twenty-two questions answered, mostly in fragments. Not because anyone was unwilling — the same people would happily talk for twenty minutes on a call. Typing was the bottleneck. The story existed; the form could not get at it.
Sayso is the thing we wanted instead: send the same questions, let people answer them out loud, and get back a written document. We use it ourselves for every case study we write.
Nobody is short of things to say. They are short of the patience to type them.
What we hold to
Four things we will not trade away.
Losing someone’s answer is unforgivable
Everything else is a trade-off; this one is not. If a person talks for four minutes and it vanishes, they will not do it again, and the answer is gone for good. That constraint shaped the whole product — audio is written to disk before it is ever sent anywhere.
Say what is not built
It is easy to write a features page that quietly implies more than exists. We tag what is coming as Upcoming and leave it visibly unfinished, because finding out later is worse than knowing now.
The person answering did not ask for this
They are doing you a favour. So: no account, no app, no password, one question on screen at a time, and the ability to leave halfway through and come back without losing anything.
Boring where it counts
Recording, saving and transcribing should be dull and dependable. We would rather spend the interesting ideas on the questions themselves than on the plumbing.
Built by DANK Studio.
A small studio that helps brands get found — and now, apparently, makes software when the tool we need does not exist.
