Technology Consulting
Senior technical judgement without adding headcount. Architecture reviews, build-versus-buy decisions and delivery diagnostics from a team that ships production software for a living.
Get the decision right before you spend the budget
Most expensive software mistakes are not coding mistakes. They are decisions made early — the wrong architecture, the wrong platform, a build that should have been a purchase — that nobody could unpick eighteen months later.
Our consulting work exists to catch those decisions while they are still cheap to change. We look at what you have, what you are trying to reach, and the gap between the two, then give you a costed set of options and a clear recommendation.
If the honest answer is that you do not need us to build it, we will say so. That has cost us work and won us referrals.
2–4 weeks
Typical engagement length, from kick-off to a written recommendation your team can act on.
What we advise on
Six engagements that cover the questions clients bring us most often.
Architecture review
An independent read on your current system: what will hold at ten times the load, what will not, and what to fix first. You get a written report, not a slide deck.
Build vs buy
Should you build this, buy it, or glue two products together? We cost each route honestly, including the maintenance bill nobody puts in the business case.
Technical due diligence
Investing in or acquiring a product? We audit the codebase, the infrastructure and the team practices, and tell you what the real risks are before you sign.
Delivery diagnosis
Shipping has slowed and nobody can say why. We find the actual bottleneck — process, architecture or ownership — and give you a plan to unblock it.
Team and hiring structure
What roles you need next, in what order, and what to look for. Useful when you are moving from an agency build to an in-house team.
Security and compliance readiness
Where you stand against the standards your customers will ask about, and the shortest credible path to being able to answer their questionnaire honestly.
Why clients bring us in
We build, so we are not guessing
Our recommendations come from a team that ships production software every week — not from consultants who hand over a strategy and leave before it meets reality.
Fixed scope, fixed fee
Consulting engagements are scoped and priced up front. No open-ended day rates and no incentive to make the engagement longer than it needs to be.
You get the artefacts
Diagrams, decision records, costed options and a prioritised backlog — written so your team can act on them after we finish, without needing us.
Answers in weeks
Most consulting engagements run two to four weeks. Long enough to be thorough, short enough that the answer is still relevant when it lands.
