Technical Consulting
Senior Engineering Judgement, On Demand
Architecture reviews, code audits, technical due diligence, and CTO-level advisory. The senior perspective your team needs at critical decision points.
Sometimes you don't need a project team; you need senior judgement. Architecture reviews before major commitments. Code audits before acquisitions. Security assessments before launch. CTO-level guidance on hiring, technology choices, or strategic direction.
Our technical consulting practice provides this senior expertise on demand. Our consultants average 15+ years of enterprise engineering experience, with the perspective that comes from seeing many systems succeed and fail. We give you clear, actionable guidance backed by deep expertise — and we are always independent of vendors and implementers.

Our approach
Our consulting methodology
Scoping & Information Gathering
We define what's in scope, what success looks like, and gather necessary access and information. Clear scope prevents scope creep and ensures focused output.
Independent Assessment
Our consultants conduct the review independently, applying frameworks and checklists developed across hundreds of engagements.
Findings Synthesis
We synthesise findings into actionable reports with prioritised recommendations. We grade severity and provide concrete remediation guidance.
Presentation & Knowledge Transfer
We present findings to leadership and technical teams, answer questions, and support follow-up implementation as needed.

Featured case study
Pre-Acquisition Due Diligence
A UK private equity firm engaged us to perform technical due diligence on a £45M acquisition target. Our 3-week independent assessment surfaced material technical debt and architectural risks the seller had not disclosed — informing a renegotiated price and a 100-day post-close remediation plan.
