Technology decisions
you can defend later.

Strategic advisory for companies choosing what to build, what to buy, and what to fix.

From first-time founders deciding what to build, to scaled operations teams figuring out how to clean up what they already have, our consultancy work is structured around producing a clear plan — not a deck nobody opens twice.

The output is always a written deliverable: a roadmap, a vendor recommendation, an architecture review, a transformation plan. Something you can hand to a board, a CTO, or your engineering leads and act on next Monday.

Sized to the question

Two-week reviews. Six-week selections. Three-month CTO retainers.

[01]

Discover

Two or three workshops with the people who run the technology and the people who use it. We map the system as it is, not as it’s described.

[02]

Decide

We agree the question, the deliverable, and the price up front. No shelfware, no scope drift later.

[03]

Deliver

A written report — roadmap, due-diligence pack, architecture review — plus a walk-through with the people who’ll act on it.

Typical engagements

Patterns we keep coming back to.

Two-week
architecture review

Written report and remediation roadmap. Best when a system is straining under growth or about to be replaced.

Six-week
vendor selection

Longlist, shortlist, RFP support, and a recommendation memo with cost and risk lines for the board.

Three-month
interim CTO

Senior leadership through a hiring cycle, a funding round, or a critical platform programme.
