Technology consulting

The build-vs-buy decision, the vendor shortlist, the architecture that will still make sense in three years — these are exactly the decisions where an independent voice, with no stake in which option gets chosen, is worth more than another polished vendor pitch.

What’s included

Architecture review and recommendations grounded in where your system actually needs to scale, not a generic best-practice checklist applied without context. Vendor and platform evaluation that includes the questions vendors don’t volunteer answers to — total cost of ownership, realistic migration effort, and what happens if the relationship needs to end. A genuinely honest build-vs-buy framework, since the right answer sometimes is “buy,” and a consultant only interested in build work has an obvious incentive not to say so. Risk assessment for major technology decisions before they’re locked in, when the cost of changing course is still low. And documentation of the reasoning behind each recommendation, so the decision can be revisited on its merits later, not just taken on faith.

When to bring us in

Before a vendor shortlist is finalized or a build-vs-buy decision is made — an outside, independent perspective is most valuable while the decision is still genuinely open.
