Software Consultancy
Architecture audits, technical due diligence, and strategic advisory for engineering teams scaling fast.
What we do for you
We do strategic engineering consultancy — architecture audits, technical due diligence for investors, code quality reviews, and advisory for engineering leaders scaling teams past 20 people. Most engagements are one to four weeks, end with a written report, and recommend specific next steps with cost estimates.
Our principals have run engineering at venture-backed startups and audited codebases for acquirers in FinTech, AI, and SaaS. We look at architecture, security posture, team structure, delivery velocity, and tech-debt distribution — and we tell you what would actually move the needle, not what would look good on a slide.
We can also embed for longer — interim CTO, fractional staff engineer, or technical advisor on a monthly retainer — when you need senior engineering judgement in the room but don't yet need a full-time hire.
