Consult · Deliver · Enable

The expertise, without the headcount.

Sometimes you do not need a system built. You need someone senior who has seen this before, for a defined period, with no permanent hire at the end of it.

What we do

Professional services, in detail.

Technology consultancy

Independent advice on architecture, platform choice, build-versus-buy and technical direction - from people with no product to sell you.

Project & programme management

Delivery management for technology projects, including ones where we are not the ones building. Governance, reporting and the difficult conversations held early.

Technical due diligence

Independent assessment of a codebase, a supplier or an acquisition target: what is really there, what it will cost to carry, and where the risk is buried.

Embedded specialists

Architects, engineers, testers and analysts working inside your team for a defined engagement, under your direction, with our bench behind them.

Process & tooling

Source control, CI/CD, environments, test strategy, code review and release practice for teams that have outgrown how they currently work.

Training & enablement

Handover that sticks: working sessions, documentation and pairing so your team can own what we have built together.

What you get

Outcomes, not deliverables.

  • A decision you can defend to your board
  • Delivery capability added without a recruitment cycle
  • An honest, independent read on a system or a supplier
  • A team that works better after we leave than before we arrived

Good fit for

When people call us about this.

  • Choosing between building, buying and staying put
  • A project that needs experienced delivery management, quickly
  • Assessing a system before you acquire it or commit to it
  • Adding senior capability to an existing team for a fixed period

How it runs

From first call to steady state.

  1. Step 01

    Scope

    What the question actually is, and what a useful answer looks like.

  2. Step 02

    Engage

    The right people, for a defined period, at an agreed rate.

  3. Step 03

    Deliver

    Findings, capability or delivery - written down and handed over.

  4. Step 04

    Withdraw

    We are content to work ourselves out of a job. It tends to bring us back.

Next step

Tell us what you are trying to build.

A conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies the problem either way. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
