We're hired when the question is too important to answer with a Google search and too specific to outsource to a Big Four deck. Engagements run two to twelve weeks. Every deliverable is a written document a board can read, with the working assumptions and the math attached.
Every capability below is staffed by the same senior bench. The lead who scopes the engagement also writes the first PR. You will see the same names on the status report you see on the commit history.
For PE / VC investors and acquirers. Code quality, architecture, security posture, talent depth, technical debt and a defensible verdict on the price. We've done it from seed to growth-stage.
An outside read on a system that's straining. We pair with your senior engineers, read the code, walk the on-call, and return a prioritised list of decisions — not opinions.
Team topology, levelling, hiring plans, comp bands and engineering ladder. For founders scaling from twelve to forty, and CTOs reorganising after a merger or down round.
Three-day workshops that produce a quarterly plan with explicit bets, kill criteria and a written investment thesis. We facilitate; your team owns the output.
Most engagements start small. A fixed-scope discovery sprint, an architecture review, an evals harness. If the work continues, we shape it into a T&M arrangement or an embedded squad — never the other way around.
Every artefact is yours from day one. We don't hold source, infrastructure or accounts hostage. The work product lives in your repositories, your cloud accounts, your wiki.
Series A through growth-stage technical reviews.
Buy-side and portfolio-company diligence.
Regulatory architecture and migration plans.
Procurement-grade architecture briefs.
First call is with the practice lead. We'll come back within 48 hours with either a scoped proposal or a written redirect — including to other firms when that's the right answer.
