Technology advisory
Advisory for teams without an in-house technical lead: architecture review, build-versus-buy, stack and vendor decisions, and a roadmap that survives contact with a budget. Advice you can act on with someone else — we are not the only party who can implement it.
In short
- Best fit when
- A technical direction has to be settled before anyone commits a budget to building it.
- Pairs with
- Anything. It is frequently the first engagement, and it is fine for it to be the only one.
What you get
What is handed over at the end, and yours to keep running without us.
- A written assessment of the current system, including what is fine and should be left alone
- Options with costs and trade-offs, and a recommendation rather than a menu
- A sequenced roadmap with what to do first and what can wait
- Vendor and stack recommendations, with the reasoning attached
How it runs
The same sequence every engagement follows, applied to this line of work.
- Stage 1
Review
We read the code, the infrastructure and the process, and talk to the people who use it daily.
- Stage 2
Findings
A written document and a working session to argue with it.
- Stage 3
Follow-up
A checkpoint once decisions are made, whoever ends up implementing them.
