Service

IT Consulting

Independent technical advice — architecture review, vendor and build-versus-buy decisions, and due diligence.

Overview

Some decisions are too expensive to get wrong and too infrequent to build internal expertise for: which platform to commit to, whether to build or buy, whether a vendor's proposal is reasonable, whether an inherited system can be saved.

We give you a written recommendation with the reasoning, the alternatives considered and the risks stated — including the cases where the honest answer is to change nothing.

Capabilities

What it consulting covers

  • Architecture and code review

    Independent assessment of an existing system's maintainability, security posture and scaling limits.

  • Build, buy or partner analysis

    Options compared on total cost, delivery risk and lock-in, with a stated recommendation.

  • Vendor selection and oversight

    Requirements, evaluation criteria and proposal review — plus technical oversight while a third party delivers.

  • Technical due diligence

    Assessment of a target's codebase, infrastructure and team capability ahead of an investment or acquisition.

Process

How we deliver it

The four stages it consulting moves through, and what you have at the end of each.

  1. Frame the decision

    Agree the actual question, the constraints, and what evidence would be sufficient to answer it.

  2. Investigate

    Review the systems, interview the people involved, and test the assumptions behind the options.

  3. Recommend

    A written recommendation with reasoning, alternatives, risks and cost implications.

  4. Support the decision

    Help presenting it to stakeholders, and oversight through implementation if you want it.

Copy pending founder sign-off

PRD §8 requires the exact scope of each service to be confirmed before final copy. Outstanding for this one:

  • Commercial model for advisory work — day rate, fixed-scope review, or retainer
  • Whether interim technical leadership (fractional CTO) is offered

Draft copy

Include the country code.

Optional, but it helps us propose something realistic. Any currency, and a range is fine.

What needs to exist, what problem it solves, and any constraints we should know about — compliance, deadlines, systems it has to work with.

Commercially sensitive details are best left out of a web form — tell us enough to scope it and we'll take the rest over a call.
