Opinions you can actually ship
Technology consulting is senior guidance on the technical decisions that shape your roadmap, from architecture to AI strategy to diligence. We deliver it as engineers who will still be there when the plan hits production.
30-minute call · no pitch deck · no obligation
Everything this capability ships
Senior-owned, AI-accelerated, and wired into your stack. Not a deck of recommendations.
Architecture review
Concrete, prioritised review of your current architecture with the trade-offs spelled out plainly.
Platform strategy
Cloud choice, build vs buy, data platform, AI layer. A point of view you can commit the roadmap to.
AI readiness
Where AI actually earns its keep in your product and ops, and where it is a distraction. Grounded, not promotional.
Technical diligence
Investor and acquirer diligence by operators. We tell you what the PDF will not.
Engineering org design
Team shape, hiring loops, on-call, review culture. The structural decisions that either enable or sabotage the roadmap.
Interim CTO
Fractional or interim CTO support while you hire a permanent leader. We run the job, not just advise on it.
A 90-day roadmap that de-risked a platform rebuild
Meridian Group · Digital transformation
Senior engineers audited their architecture, scored vendor options against real constraints, and delivered a costed 90-day roadmap. Then the same team shipped phase one, so the plan was proven, not just a deck.
From first call to production
Scope the question
One paragraph of what the decision is and what a good answer looks like. Consulting without a question is theatre.
Listen and inspect
Team interviews, code walkthroughs, dashboards, docs. We read before we opine.
Synthesize
Findings, recommendations, and trade-offs. Written, defensible, and short enough to forward.
Implement or advise
We stay on to execute, or hand off cleanly to your team. Either way, the advice is ownable.
What it actually solves
Founders and early-stage teams
Stack decisions, hiring sequencing, and architectural bets before the code gets too expensive to redo.
Scale-stage engineering
Platform reviews, reliability investments, and org design for teams moving from 10 to 100 engineers.
Investors and boards
Technical diligence for acquisitions, board-level reviews, and advisory support for portfolio companies.
AI strategy
Where AI belongs in your roadmap, which bets to make, and which to ignore. Grounded in shipped production AI work.
Questions, answered
We are engineers and operators first. Every recommendation is one we would implement ourselves, and we often do.
Yes, at engagement start. Sensitive diligence and architectural reviews frequently require it.
Always. We consult with your leaders and engineers, not around them. Adoption depends on it.
We have opinions, but we do not get paid by anyone we recommend. Recommendations are justified against your goals.
Either with a written recommendation and a handoff, or with the same pod shipping the implementation. Your call.
Let’s build it together.
One senior team, one flat monthly subscription, no lock-in. Book a call and we’ll map the fastest path to shipped.
