Advice is easy to sell and hard to value. So here is exactly what we produce, what it is for, and the cases where you should not hire us.
Consulting has a reputation problem in this industry, and it is largely deserved: a lot of it is a slide deck restating what the client already said, followed by an invoice. So we define our engagements by the artefact they produce, and we agree that artefact before you pay for anything.
Depending on the question, that artefact is one of four things: a technical audit of a system you already own, a build-or-buy analysis for something you are considering, a vendor and platform selection with a scored recommendation, or a roadmap with a total-cost model covering the next twelve to twenty-four months. Each is a document you keep and can act on without us.
The most common request, usually prompted by one of three feelings: it is slow, it is fragile, or nobody knows what is in it any more. Over roughly five to ten days we produce a written assessment covering what actually exists versus what people believe exists — these differ more often than you would expect; the dependency and platform versions with their end-of-life dates, which is frequently the most urgent finding; whether backups exist and whether a restore actually works; the specific causes of the slowness, measured rather than guessed; the immediate security exposures; how much of the system is covered by tests; how hard it is for a new developer to become productive; and a prioritised list of fixes with effort estimates.
That last item is the point. An audit that ends in a list of concerns is a worry document. An audit that ends in "these four things, in this order, roughly this many days each" is a plan.
We are a software company, so our incentive is obvious and worth stating: we make more money if you build. We still recommend buying regularly, because for genuinely standard needs a mature product wins on cost, features and reliability — decades of edge cases are already handled in a way a fresh build cannot match.
The analysis compares a five-year total cost of ownership for each route, not just the purchase price: licence or subscription fees at your real user count, implementation and configuration, data migration, training, the cost of the workarounds a product will force on your process, and what happens to each option if you double in size. Building is the right answer when your process is a genuine competitive difference, when nothing fits without distorting how you work, when several systems must behave as one, or when licensing at your scale exceeds building. If none of those holds, we will say so in writing.
If you are choosing between development partners or between platforms, an independent read is worth more than another pitch. We help you write a brief specific enough to be quoted comparably, then score the responses on the things that actually predict outcomes: whether the estimate is broken down into days per phase, who specifically will do the work and at what seniority, what is explicitly excluded, the IP and repository terms, the post-launch arrangement, and whether they pushed back on anything in your brief.
We also tell you when a quote is unreasonable in either direction — a price far below the others is usually a smaller scope, not better value, and the difference reappears as change requests. Our public cost breakdown and agency vetting guide cover the same ground, and you are welcome to use both without hiring us at all.
Most organisations we talk to do not have a shortage of ideas; they have a shortage of sequencing. Everything is important, nothing is ordered, and the result is several half-finished initiatives.
A roadmap engagement produces an inventory of what is wanted, each item sized in rough effort bands rather than false precision, dependencies made explicit — because some things genuinely cannot start until others finish — and a sequence justified by value and risk rather than by who asked loudest. It also names what is not being done this year, which is the part that makes a roadmap useful. A plan with no exclusions is a wish list.
If you are acquiring a company or investing in one, the software is often the asset and rarely inspected properly. We assess code quality and maintainability, whether IP ownership is actually clean — contractor agreements, open-source licence obligations, third-party code — key-person risk, infrastructure and security posture, the real cost to run and maintain, and what it would take to scale it or integrate it with your systems. The output is a risk register with severities, written plainly enough for a non-technical board.
Being direct about this is more useful than another list of capabilities. Do not hire us if:
Fixed price for a defined deliverable, because that is what protects you: you know the cost and the output before you commit, and there is no incentive for the engagement to expand. Audits are typically five to ten days, build-or-buy analyses three to five, roadmap work one to two weeks depending on how many stakeholders must be interviewed.
Every deliverable is yours to use however you like, including to hire someone else to implement it. We are frequently engaged for an audit and not for the resulting work, and that is a perfectly good outcome — it means the document was worth what you paid for it. The first conversation is free, and it is usually enough for us to tell you whether a consulting engagement is warranted or whether you should simply get on with building.
