New world, new methods
Tesseract is Lightfold’s design methodology. It’s how we build data applications that help users and businesses achieve their goals. Tesseract uses human-centred design, agile and value proposition design to achieve quick wins that make a difference.
Like the geometry suggests, Tesseract draws together four aspects: people, data, action and application. Understanding users and how they do their job in combination with the data estate allows us to construct data applications that enrich and support workflows.
Data applications are as diverse as users and businesses themselves. They can take the form of predictive recommendations, suggesting the next best action users should take. Alternatively, data applications can be as simple as a heads up display bringing together outlier notifications with relevant descriptive analysis.
Tesseract boosts your return on investment in new data platforms because users want to engage with data applications that ease problems and amplify wins. Added to that, data platforms are increasingly pushing toward productised functionality so development is much more efficient. There’s literally no value in spinning your wheels. Tesseract’s agile approach means you see outcomes sooner, and realise your investment sooner
We don’t do things the old way. Data platforms have changed, so have our methods.
Tesseract in practice
Tesseract consists of interconnected modules that draw on the expertise and experience of all levels of the business. It encompasses strategic drivers and external market pressures right down to detailed tactical requirements from frontline staff. Each module is a brief, high intensity workshop.
Participant overview
- Sponsor: Executive project advocate
- Product owner: The role responsible for project implementation and our primary contact

Timeline: Core Tesseract modules
We will create a custom Tesseract program before kick off, answering to the requirements of your business and the project. The core modules (right) are ones we use routinely. It also gives an indication of the sequencing and parallelised nature of the Tesseract method.
