A second opinion from people who build
Architecture reviews, technical due diligence and AI readiness assessments, delivered as a document your team can act on. Including, where it applies, the recommendation not to build the thing you were planning to build.
What you end up with
- Risks identified and priced before they reach production
- A sequenced roadmap, including what to deliberately defer
- Technology choices matched to the requirement rather than the trend
- An honest read on build versus buy, with the reasoning shown
Architecture & technology consulting
Senior engineers review what exists, model where it breaks, and produce a roadmap your team can execute — including the decisions to defer. No abstract strategy decks without an implementation path.
01Architecture review
An assessment of the current system against where it will break first, with prioritised remediation and the cost of doing nothing.
Technical due diligence
Codebase, infrastructure, security and team-capability review for investors or acquirers, written plainly enough for a non-technical committee.
AI readiness assessment
Whether your data, processes and appetite actually support the AI project being proposed — and what would need to be true first.
Technology selection
Build-versus-buy analysis and vendor evaluation grounded in your constraints, not in what we would prefer to build.
Scaling & performance planning
Load modelling and bottleneck analysis with a sequenced plan, so capacity work happens before the incident rather than after.
Tools we reach forChosen per problem, not per trend
- Architecture modelling
- Load testing
- Threat modelling
- Cost modelling
Scoped for you, not picked from a price list
Every project is different, so we do not sell fixed packages. We learn what you need first, then propose the scope, timeline and price that fit, in writing, before any work starts.
From first message
to a written proposal
- 1You tell us what you need, by email, a short call or WhatsApp. An engineer reads it, not a sales team.
- 2We reply with clarifying questions and an honest read on fit. We do not take on every project, and we will say so if we are not the right team.
- 3If it looks like a fit, we talk through scope, requirements, deliverables, timing and budget expectations. Larger or uncertain projects may start with a scoped discovery phase.
- 4Where it makes sense, we send a written proposal with scope, timeline, price and terms. You decide whether to go ahead.
What shapes the scope and cost
- The question to answer: an architecture review, due diligence, a technology choice or a scaling plan
- The size and age of the systems and codebase involved
- Access to code, infrastructure, documentation and people
- Your deadline, for example an investment decision or a launch
- Whether you want recommendations only, or help acting on them
Useful to have ready
- The decision you need to make, and by when
- An overview of the current system, even a rough diagram
- Known problems, incidents or concerns
- Who will read the findings and act on them
None of this is required to get in touch. If you are not sure yet, that is what the first conversation is for.
Related work and capabilities
Will you tell us not to build something?
Yes. If an off-the-shelf product covers your requirement, or the data needed for an AI feature does not exist yet, saying so early is worth more to you than a contract is to us. It is also the fastest way to find out whether we are the right people to work with.
What do we actually receive?
A written document: findings, risks ranked by likelihood and cost, a sequenced roadmap and a scoped estimate. It is yours to keep and act on, with or without us.
