Ways to work with us.
From a single decision to ongoing governance, each engagement is scoped to the question in front of you. We’ll always recommend the lightest one that will do the job.
Advisory Session
For a specific decision or second opinion.
A focused, confidential conversation with an advisor to work through a single decision — a quote to sanity-check, a build-vs-buy question, a vendor to assess, or a project you're worried about.
Best for: A single decision or an urgent second opinion.
Typically includes
- A structured working session with an advisor
- An independent view on your specific question
- Clear, written follow-up with our recommendation
Project Blueprint
Feasibility, scope, specifications and estimates in one engagement.
A fixed engagement that turns an idea into a vendor-ready foundation: feasibility and direction, a defined scope and MVP, a written specification, and an independent cost and timeline estimate.
Best for: Founders and businesses about to commission a build.
Typically includes
- Feasibility and strategic direction
- MVP scope and requirements specification
- Independent cost and timeline estimate
- A pack vendors can quote against directly
Vendor Selection
Structured procurement and vendor evaluation.
We run the procurement on your behalf — from RFP to recommendation — so you choose the right vendor on comparable terms, with the technical evaluation and reference checks done properly.
Best for: Buyers choosing between development vendors.
Typically includes
- RFP preparation and vendor shortlisting
- Standardised, side-by-side proposal comparison
- Technical evaluation and reference verification
- A written recommendation and negotiation support
Advisory Retainer
Ongoing buyer-side project governance.
Independent oversight through delivery: we verify milestones, track budget and change, manage risk, and give your leadership an honest, ongoing line of sight into whether the project is really on track.
Best for: Live projects that need independent governance.
Typically includes
- Client-side project governance and cadence
- Independent milestone verification
- Budget, change and risk oversight
- Regular executive reporting
Independent Audit
Technical and project assessment for an existing build.
For a project that is late, over budget, or simply unclear: an independent assessment of what is genuinely complete, what remains, how the vendor is performing, and whether to continue, renegotiate or replace.
Best for: Troubled or opaque in-flight projects.
Typically includes
- Code, architecture, security and performance review
- Evidence-based completion status
- Remaining-effort and cost-to-complete estimate
- A continue / renegotiate / replace recommendation
Pricing
Every engagement is scoped to your project, so we price it once we understand what you need. Tell us about your project and we’ll propose the right model and a clear, fixed scope.
Not sure which engagement fits?
Start with a short advisory call. We’ll point you to the right model — even if it’s the smallest one.
