IT Consulting Services
Strategic technology advice that translates business objectives into engineering decisions — without the McKinsey slide deck and without the implementation hand-off to a third party.
Consulting that ends in code
Most IT consulting ends with a strategy document. Ours ends with working software, because we're the ones who implement it. That alignment removes the incentive to recommend complexity, and it means the architecture we design is the architecture we'd stake our delivery on.
What we help with
- Technology strategy & roadmap — 12–24 month roadmap aligned to business growth targets, not technology trends
- Architecture review & design — system design for new products, microservices migration strategy, API design review
- Vendor evaluation — build vs. buy analysis, SaaS contract review, vendor lock-in risk assessment
- Digital transformation — mapping manual processes to automation opportunities with ROI modelling
- CTO-as-a-Service — fractional technical leadership for companies between CTOs or Series A companies before their first hire
- Technical due diligence — code quality, architecture risk, scalability ceiling, team capability review for investors
- Post-acquisition integration — technical integration plans when systems from two companies need to coexist or merge
How our consulting engagements work
Discovery (days 1–5)
Stakeholder interviews, current-state architecture documentation, process mapping, and gap analysis. We produce a clear picture of where you are before recommending where to go.
Strategy & options (days 5–15)
2–3 strategic options with trade-off analysis: cost, timeline, risk, and organisational capability requirements. No single answer presented as obvious — we show you the real choices.
Roadmap & handoff
Prioritised backlog of initiatives with business justification, technical dependencies, team requirements, and go/no-go criteria. The roadmap is yours — we can implement it or hand it off to your team.
CTO-as-a-Service
Fractional CTO engagement for companies that need technical leadership without a full-time C-level salary. We cover hiring decisions, architecture governance, investor technical questions, vendor negotiations, and sprint reviews — typically 2–3 days per week, for as long as you need it.
- Available for Series A and B companies building their first engineering team
- Post-acqui-hire integration where acquired founders need technical guidance
- Established companies between CTOs during a transition period
Questions buyers actually ask
We build what we recommend. That means we have no incentive to over-engineer, over-scope, or recommend a platform we don't have implementation experience with. Our advice is constrained by what we'd be willing to stake a delivery on.
Discovery + strategy + roadmap engagements typically run $12,000–$25,000 for a 30–60 day engagement. Fractional CTO retainers start at $4,500/month for two days per week of dedicated involvement.
Yes. We review codebases, architecture documentation, infrastructure, security posture, team capability, and technical debt load — and produce an investor-grade report with risk ratings and remediation cost estimates within 10 business days.
We can transition directly into an implementation engagement. There's no hand-off overhead because the same team that designed the architecture builds it.
