Capability

Technical advisory

A decision is due — rebuild or extend, one platform or two, hire or outsource — and the people closest to it disagree. You need an independent read that survives contact with your board.

What we deliver

The work itself

  • Read the code, the infrastructure and the ticket history before forming a view
  • Interview the engineers who maintain the system and the people who use it
  • Set out the realistic options, including the option of changing nothing
  • Cost each option over three years, separating build cost from the cost of running it
  • Name the risks that would change the recommendation, and what would confirm each one
  • Record the strongest argument against our own recommendation, so the board sees both sides
  • Deliver a document your engineers can challenge on the evidence
  • Stop there when stopping is the right answer, rather than converting the review into a project

Engagement shape

Phases and timeline

  • Access and scoping
    3 days
    The question to be answered, written in one sentence and agreed in writing
  • Evidence gathering
    1 to 2 weeks
    Code and infrastructure review, interviews, cost data, and incident history
  • Options and costing
    1 week
    Options with three-year costs, risks, and what would change the answer
  • Review and challenge
    3 days
    A working session with your engineers, then the final document with their objections included

What we need from you

  • Read access to the repositories, the infrastructure and the ticket history
  • Ninety minutes each with the engineers who maintain the system
  • The commercial constraint we are working inside, even approximately
  • Permission to write down a recommendation you may not like

After go-live

Who holds it at 3am

  • The document is yours to circulate, with no watermark and no follow-on engagement attached
  • We will present the findings to your board or your investors if that helps
  • If you implement it with someone else, we will answer their questions for thirty days
  • If the recommendation turns out wrong within a year, we will say so in writing
