TechnologyConsulting
What’s Included:
- Architecture assessments
- Transformation roadmaps
- Technical due diligence
- Fractional CTO advisory
We give you a written, sequenced plan you can fund — with the trade-offs stated plainly, including the ones that argue against hiring us.
Working Process
- Assess What Exists – Code, infrastructure, team structure and delivery history. We read the repository rather than relying on what the last vendor said about it.
- Name The Trade-offs – Build versus buy, rewrite versus strangle, hire versus outsource — each with a cost, a risk and a recommendation you can disagree with.
- Sequence The Plan – A roadmap in fundable phases, each one shipping something usable, so the programme can be stopped at any phase boundary without waste.
An Honest Read Of Where You Actually Are
An assessment that only confirms what you hoped is worthless. We write down what is genuinely wrong, what is fine as it is, and what will break next — with evidence from the codebase.
- Whether you are planning a rebuild, buying a company or deciding whether to keep a system alive, the first deliverable is a clear picture of the present.
- We cover every stage — audit, architecture options, cost modelling, team and hiring advice, and ongoing advisory once the plan is running.
What We Deliver
- Technology audits and architecture assessments
- Digital transformation roadmaps
- Technical due diligence for investors and acquirers
- Build-vs-buy and vendor evaluation
A Plan You Can Hand To Anyone
The roadmap is written so another firm could execute it. We would rather be chosen on the work than retained because nobody else can read the plan.
Tools & Tech
- Architecture review
- Cost modelling
- Roadmapping
- Advisory
Platforms, storefronts and internal systems delivered for clients across eCommerce, health tech, fintech and logistics.
Client satisfaction across delivered engagements — measured on what shipped, not on what was promised at kickoff.
Typical uptime after migration, with monitoring, alerting and zero-downtime deploys set up as part of the build.
What You Get
One senior team from discovery through to launch and beyond — weekly written updates, an open backlog, and direct access to the engineers doing the work. The people in your kickoff call are the people writing the code.
- Written assessment – What exists today, what is at risk, and what it would cost to leave it alone.
- Sequenced roadmap – Fundable phases with estimates, dependencies and a stop point at each boundary.
- Ongoing advisory – Fractional CTO time while the plan runs, so decisions do not stall between phases.
How a project runs
The same five stages every time. Pick a project to see what each one produced.
Illustrative engagements — the stages are ours, the names and figures are examples.
- Span
- 18 weeks
- Team
- 4 engineers
- Stack
- Next.js
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Docker
Discovery
2 weeksUnderstand the work before designing for it
Two weeks in the depot and the finance office. Eleven spreadsheets found, four of which disagreed about the same stock.
Signed scope
Architecture
2 weeksMake the expensive decisions deliberately
Stock, jobs and invoices modelled as one ledger, so a movement is recorded once and read everywhere rather than re-keyed three times.
Data model
Build
11 weeksTwo-week cycles against a signed scope
Five cycles. The depot module shipped first because that was the one costing a day a week.
Staging every fortnight
Launch
1 weekA rehearsed go-live with a way back
Run in parallel with the spreadsheets for nine days, until both sets of numbers agreed on a Friday close.
Cutover
Support
6 monthsMonths, not a handover email
Monitoring, month-end patches, and two rounds of changes the depot asked for once they had actually used it.

[ Project Brief ]
Bring us the brief, webring back the scope
Tell us what the system has to do, the metric you'd move, andthe deadline. Within 4 business hours we send back a writtenscope, a fixed estimate, and the two projects closest to theproblem you're describing.
Rather say it than type it?
Both of these reach the engineers who would do the work — no account manager in between, no discovery deck before the first question.
