Know what to build before you spend a dollar building it
Technology audits, architecture reviews and product roadmaps — from senior engineers who build what they recommend. Independent, fixed-scope, and honest about what not to build.
FIXED SCOPE · 1–3 WEEKS · INDEPENDENT ADVICE
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Six ways we sharpen your strategy
Technology & Architecture Audit
A code-level review of your stack, systems and team practices — what's solid, what's risky, and what it will cost to fix.
Digital Transformation Strategy
A practical path from legacy systems to modern infrastructure, sequenced so the business keeps running while you change it.
Product Ideation & Roadmapping
Workshops that turn a business goal into a costed, prioritized product roadmap your team can execute quarter by quarter.
Market & Feasibility Research
Competitor and technology research that answers one question: is this worth building — and what's the cheapest way to find out?
Business Model Innovation
Where technology changes what you can charge for — new revenue streams, platforms and partnerships grounded in what's actually buildable.
Build vs. Buy Advisory
Independent vendor evaluation and build-vs-buy analysis. We don't resell anything, so the recommendation is genuinely neutral.
HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS
From first workshop to board-ready plan in 1–3 weeks
Listen
A workshop with your stakeholders. We map goals, constraints and what's been tried — and agree the exact questions to answer.
Investigate
We go deep: code, architecture, costs, market. Senior engineers do the review themselves — nothing is delegated down.
Recommend
You get costed options, not one take-it-or-leave-it plan — each with timeline, risk and budget spelled out.
Handover
We present to your team or board, answer the hard questions, and leave a plan you can execute with anyone.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
Advice you can execute — with or without us
Every engagement ends in documents your team owns outright. Brief us, brief another vendor, or build in-house — the plan works either way.
Written audit report
Findings on your stack and systems, ranked by risk and cost to fix.
Costed 12-month roadmap
A quarter-by-quarter plan with budget ranges and hiring implications.
Architecture blueprints
Target-state diagrams your engineers can build against directly.
Board-ready summary
The one-pager and deck that gets the budget approved.
FAQ
Strategy questions, answered straight
How is this different from a big consultancy?
Your work is done by the senior engineers who would build the thing, not analysts. You get code-level findings at a fraction of big-firm rates — and no junior pyramid.
Do we have to build with you afterwards?
No. The report and roadmap are yours. We're happy to brief another vendor or your in-house team — it happens regularly.
How much does an engagement cost?
Fixed scope, agreed up front. Most engagements run one to three weeks of senior engineer time; you'll have an exact number before we start.
Can you review a decision we've already made?
Yes — vendor quotes, architecture proposals, rebuild-vs-refactor calls. A short second opinion now is cheaper than a wrong commitment later.
