Architecture reviews
An independent look at how your system is built, where it will struggle as you grow and which changes give the best return.
Services
Independent IT consultancy, in plain English.
Clear, practical advice on your software, infrastructure and security — from people who build and run systems every day. You get written recommendations you can act on, not a sales pitch.
Engagements
Focused reviews with clear outcomes.
Each engagement ends with a written report: what we found, why it matters and what to do next, in priority order.
Security assessments
A review of access control, patching, backups, secrets handling and exposure, with practical steps to reduce risk.
Technical due diligence
An objective assessment of a product, codebase or team before an investment, acquisition or partnership.
Cloud & hosting cost reviews
Finding where infrastructure spend can be reduced without hurting reliability or performance.
Technology selection
Help choosing between build and buy, vendors, platforms and approaches — with the trade-offs written down.
Ongoing technical advice
A senior technical advisor on call for your leadership team, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Approach
Independent and evidence-based.
We start by understanding your goals and constraints, then look at the systems themselves: code, infrastructure, processes and documentation. Findings are backed by evidence, ranked by impact and effort, and explained so non-technical stakeholders can make decisions.
We have no reseller agreements with software or hosting vendors, so our recommendations are based only on what is right for your business.
Next steps
From advice to action.
Many clients act on our reports with their own teams. If you would like help implementing the recommendations, we can scope that work separately with a fixed or capped price.
FAQ
Common questions.
What does an IT consultancy engagement include?
A short scoping call, a review of the relevant systems and documentation, and a written report with prioritised recommendations. We walk you through the findings in a follow-up call.
Do you need access to our systems?
Usually read-only access is enough. We agree exactly what access is needed, and for how long, before starting.
Can you help us implement the recommendations?
Yes. Implementation can be scoped separately, or your own team can act on the report.
Do you offer ongoing advisory support?
Yes. We offer ongoing technical advice for leadership teams that need senior input without a full-time hire.
