Consultancy
The right decision, made early.
We help startups and SMEs make tech decisions they won't regret. Honest assessments — we tell you what you need to hear.
Why this matters early
The tech decisions you make in the first six months follow you for years. A framework chosen because it was fashionable, a database picked without thinking about scale, a vendor locked in without reading the terms — these compound.
We don't have a preferred vendor. We don't get referral fees. We tell you what fits your situation, including when the answer is "you don't need to pay for this."
What you get
- A clear recommendation with reasoning, not a list of options
- Honest risk assessment — what could go wrong and how likely
- A prioritised action list you can act on immediately
- Follow-up availability — we don't disappear after the report
What we cover
- Tech stack selection
- We evaluate your options against your actual constraints — team size, budget, timeline, and growth expectations. No vendor bias.
- Architecture review
- If you've inherited a codebase or are scaling faster than your current architecture can handle, we'll identify the real bottlenecks and prioritise what matters.
- Build vs buy decisions
- We help you decide what to build yourself, what to buy off the shelf, and what open-source gets you most of the way there.
- Accessibility & compliance audits
- We audit products against WCAG standards and give you a prioritised list of issues — not a dump of automated scanner output.
- Hiring and team structure
- When to hire your first engineer. What profile to hire for. How to evaluate technical candidates when you're not technical yourself.
- Vendor and tooling evaluation
- SaaS, cloud providers, CI/CD pipelines, databases — we help you evaluate options with criteria that match your situation.
