The same problem comes back. It is more than one difficult day.
Problems people face at work
What makes your work harder?
AptQ looks for problems that people face again and again at work. We want to understand what causes them and see if we can create better solutions.
Our aim is to turn useful solutions into new businesses.

01 / The problems
What problems are we looking for?
We’re interested in problems that keep making work harder, even after people have tried to solve them.
It has a real cost.
People lose time, money or chances to do important work.
Current solutions do not do enough.
People have tried other ways, but part of the problem is still there.
02 / How we would work
How we would study a problem
We would first check what happens and what people have tried. If an idea looks useful, we could test a small part before building more.
The steps would depend on the problem.
Talk to people who face it.
We would ask what goes wrong and what would make their work easier.
Follow the steps.
A real example could show where people lose time, repeat work or get stuck.
Look at existing solutions.
We would check what already helps and what still does not work well.
Try a small test.
We could test an idea to see if it helps. The result might tell us to improve it, look further or stop.
