Technology audit
Two to three weeks of outside truth. Where the risk is, what the team already knows but can’t say out loud, and what to do first.
Consulting
Three weeks of outside truth.
Your team is capable and stuck. You don’t need a six-month engagement or a fresh set of frameworks, you need someone senior to look, tell you the truth, and leave you with a plan you can run yourselves.
01The engagements
Six ways in.
Architecture review
Is the system built to survive the next 10x, or the last one? A clear read on what holds, what bends, and what to change before it breaks.
Cloud cost
Most cloud bills aren’t a cost problem, they’re an ownership problem. Find the idle environments and the waste nobody’s accountable for.
Security posture
A board-ready read on where you actually stand, mapped to a recognised framework, without the fear-based upsell.
AI readiness
Whether the data plumbing can support what you want to fund, and which use-cases are real versus which are slideware.
Build vs buy
The decisions that shape your architecture and budget for years. Which capabilities are your moat, and which are plumbing you should just rent.
02What you get
A verdict, not a document dump.
Every engagement ends the same way: the call, the reasoning behind it, and how confident I am. Written for the person who has to act on it, not filed to justify the invoice. Want a feel for how that reads? The tools and the insights are the same voice, applied to problems you’ll recognise.
Got a decision that’s been sitting too long?
That’s usually the one worth a call. Bring it.
