Services describe what we can do. These describe what clients actually arrive with — and the approach we have refined across dozens of engagements to deal with each one.
A system that runs the business, that nobody wants to touch, and whose original authors have left. Two rewrite attempts have already been shelved.
We never attempt a cutover. Traffic moves behind a routing facade on day one, business rules are extracted into an executable specification, and contexts migrate in dependency order with parallel-run reconciliation at each step.
A promising AI prototype that nobody will sign off, because there is no way to prove it behaves acceptably on real data.
Evaluation before features. We build a gold-standard dataset and a weighted scorer with your domain experts, wire it into CI as a release gate, and only then build the retrieval, guardrails and product around it.
Acquisition or organic sprawl has left you with several systems doing the same job, each with its own release process and its own outage.
One core service, many configurable faces. We identify the genuinely shared domain, consolidate it behind a single API, and reduce the variants to theme and configuration rather than separate codebases.
An enterprise deal is blocked on SOC 2, ISO 27001 or a security questionnaire nobody on the team can answer honestly.
We threat-model the architecture, close the gaps that actually matter, and assemble the evidence pack. Controls get implemented in the system rather than described in a document.
The cloud bill grows faster than usage and no one can attribute it to a team, a product or a customer.
Tag and allocate first, so every dollar has an owner. Then attack the top ten line items in order — right-sizing, storage tiering, commitment coverage and the architectural changes that actually move the number.
Your ERP, CRM, warehouse and finance systems each hold a partial truth, reconciled by a person with a spreadsheet.
Establish a single system of record per domain, connect the rest through an event backbone with idempotent handlers, and make reconciliation automatic and continuous rather than monthly and manual.
The product is slow, everyone knows it, and every attempt to fix it has been guesswork because there is no reliable measurement.
Instrument first, then measure under realistic load, then fix in order of user impact. Budgets go into CI so the wins hold rather than eroding over the next two quarters.
A large investment decision, an unclear technical picture, and a board meeting in six weeks.
Two weeks, a small senior team, and total access. We interview, read code, run the numbers and give you a written assessment with costed options — including the option of doing nothing.
Most of these start with a two-week discovery sprint. You get a written assessment and three costed options, and no obligation to use us for any of them.
