How we work
Small engagements first.
Trust is earned in weeks.
We structure engagements so you can judge us on delivered work early, before committing to anything large. Most relationships start with an assessment measured in weeks, not a contract measured in years.
Engagement models
Assessment
2–6 weeks, fixed priceA focused review of a system, a cloud estate, or an AI opportunity. We read the code, interview the team, and deliver a risk-ranked findings report with a sequenced, estimated roadmap.
Best when: you need clarity before committing budget, or a second opinion on a plan you already have.
Project delivery
scoped, milestone-basedWe design and build: a private AI environment, a cloud migration, a modernization increment, a new system. Fixed milestones, working software at each one, handover built in.
Best when: the work is defined and you want senior hands to own the outcome end to end.
Advisory retainer
monthly, ongoingA senior architect in your corner: design reviews, technology decisions, hiring help, and a standing sounding board for your engineering leadership.
Best when: you have a capable team that needs experienced judgment on tap, not another pair of hands.
The first conversation
What happens when you reach out.
- 1
A call, not a pitch
Forty-five minutes on your situation. You talk, we ask questions. If we're not the right fit, we say so and point you somewhere better.
- 2
A short written read-back
Within a few days: our understanding of your problem, the shape of an engagement, and a candid note on risks, so you can check whether we actually listened.
- 3
A scoped first step
A bounded piece of work with a fixed price and a concrete deliverable. Big commitments only after small ones are honored.
