Services

Advisory services for companies making important software decisions

Fixed-scope engagements that end with a written deliverable your team can act on.

Engagement 01

Architecture & Feasibility Audit

Clarity on what you're building — and whether it will hold.

Timeline 1–2 weeks
Scope Fixed
Output Written report
Starting at $3,500
Request an Audit

Who This Is For

  • You're about to start a software project and want an independent perspective before the contract is signed or the team is committed.
  • You're mid-build and something isn't working the way it should — you need to understand why before you keep going.
  • You have internal tools that are showing strain and you need a clear picture of what's wrong and what to do about it.

What's Included

  • Review of your current business process and the software requirements behind it
  • Assessment of the proposed or existing architecture — where it's sound, where the risk is concentrated
  • Identification of structural gaps, over-engineering, and integration risks
  • Vendor and tool evaluation if applicable to the scope

The Deliverable

A structured written report — not a slide deck — with specific findings, prioritized risk flags, and a clear path forward. Written in a form your engineering team or development vendor can use directly. You go into the next decision knowing what you didn't know when you started.

Engagement 02

Technical Strategy Sprint

An architecture and roadmap before anyone writes a line of code.

Timeline 2–4 weeks
Scope Fixed
Output Strategy document
Starting at $6,500
Start a Sprint

Who This Is For

  • You're preparing for a significant software investment — a new platform, a system migration, or an AI initiative — and need a clear technical strategy before putting a team on it.
  • You have a capable engineering team or vendor but no clear architecture or roadmap to hand them.
  • A previous project went sideways, and this time you want a foundation that won't need to be rebuilt in 18 months.

What's Included

  • Deep-dive into your process, team structure, and real constraints
  • Architecture options with tradeoffs written in plain language — not jargon
  • Build vs. buy vs. integrate evaluation with total cost of ownership considered
  • Tool and vendor assessment relevant to your use case
  • Implementation roadmap with sequencing, dependencies, and risk flags clearly marked

The Deliverable

A technical strategy document your engineering team or vendor can execute against from day one. It reflects your actual business requirements — not a first draft of what someone thought they heard in a requirements meeting. Built to survive contact with reality.

Engagement 03

Ongoing Advisory

A senior technical voice — actually available when you need it.

Structure Bounded engagement
Cadence Based on your needs
Review point Defined at start
Starting at $2,000 / month
Discuss Advisory

Who This Is For

  • Operators or executives making regular technology decisions without a dedicated technical partner who understands your business.
  • Companies between CTOs or technical leads who need continuity during a transition.
  • Organizations where the technical team is capable but needs a check — not more management.

What's Included

  • Regular check-ins at a cadence based on your needs and the decisions you're facing
  • On-demand input when a specific decision lands on your desk
  • Review of technical proposals, vendor contracts, and architecture decisions before you commit
  • Honest second opinions — including when the right answer is to leave something alone

What Changes

You stop making significant technical decisions in a vacuum. You have a reference point who understands your business well enough to tell you quickly whether what you're being told makes sense — and to flag the risks before you've committed to them.

Not sure which engagement fits?

Start with a conversation. You'll get a direct answer on what makes sense for your situation — and whether something else would serve you better.
