Sometimes what is needed is not a development team but an honest second opinion from people who build this kind of system for a living.
What we are usually asked
“Is this architecture going to hold?” A review of the current system against where the business expects to be in two years, with the specific constraints that will bind first and what it costs to address them now versus later.
“Why is delivery slow?” Delivery diagnosis. The cause is rarely the developers. More often it is unclear requirements, a slow feedback loop, environments nobody trusts, or a review process where changes sit for days.
“Should we buy or build?” An assessment of what is genuinely differentiating in your business and what is a solved problem you should be paying someone else for. We will tell you when buying is the right answer, including when that means not hiring us.
Technical due diligence. For investors and acquirers: code quality, architectural risk, key-person dependency, licence exposure and a realistic estimate of remediation cost.
How it works
Typically two to four weeks: interviews, code and infrastructure review, and a written report with prioritised, costed recommendations. We present it to whoever needs to act on it, and we are available afterwards for the questions that surface once people have read it.
The deliverable is a decision you can defend, not a document that gets filed.
