Decisions before code
Technology Consulting
Expensive technology mistakes usually happen before a line of code is written: the wrong platform, an unrealistic scope, a vendor lock-in nobody noticed. We offer focused consulting engagements for businesses that need a clear technical direction and an honest opinion about cost, risk and sequencing.
What this covers
Discovery workshops
Structured sessions that produce scope, priorities and estimates.
Build vs buy analysis
Total cost, lock-in and fit assessed honestly.
Technical due diligence
Code, architecture, security and team assessment.
Fractional CTO
Senior technical direction on a part-time basis.
Engagements
- Discovery and requirements: turning a business goal into a scoped, estimable plan
- Architecture and platform selection: build vs buy, vendor evaluation, integration strategy
- Technical due diligence: assessing an existing product, codebase or vendor before you commit
- Roadmapping: sequencing work so early releases deliver value and later ones do not require rewrites
- Fractional technical leadership: ongoing guidance for teams without a senior engineer in-house
How it works
Consulting engagements are fixed in scope and duration. You receive written recommendations you can act on with us or with anyone else. We do not recommend technology we would not be comfortable building and operating ourselves.
Questions we hear often
Do we have to build with you afterwards?
