Tech
Consulting

Architecture reviews, stack selection, AI readiness assessments, and digital transformation strategy. Clarity before code.

Strategy before
spend.

Technology decisions are business decisions. The wrong stack, architecture, or vendor can cost you years of progress and hundreds of thousands of pounds. We help you make the right choices — grounded in real-world engineering experience, not theory.

Capabilities

Every solution is bespoke, production-grade, and engineered to deliver measurable results.

Technical Architecture Review

Deep-dive analysis of your existing systems — code quality, scalability, security, performance, and maintainability. We identify risks, bottlenecks, and opportunities with actionable recommendations.

AI Readiness Assessment

Is your business ready for AI? We assess your data infrastructure, processes, and team capabilities. Then we create a prioritised roadmap of AI opportunities ranked by impact and feasibility.

  • Map your operations to identify automation and AI opportunities
  • Score each opportunity by feasibility, impact, and implementation cost
  • Create a phased AI adoption roadmap with quick wins first

Our Approach
  • Map current business processes and identify transformation opportunities
  • Prioritise initiatives by ROI, feasibility, and organisational readiness
  • Design target-state architecture connecting all systems and data
  • Create a phased implementation plan that minimises disruption

Common questions

How is consulting different from your other services? +
Consulting is strategy — we advise. Our other services are execution — we build. Often clients start with consulting to define the right approach, then engage us (or their own team) to implement it.
How much does consulting cost? +
One-off audits and reviews: from £1,500. Ongoing advisory retainers: from £2,000/month. CTO-as-a-service: from £3,000/month. We scope based on your needs during a free initial conversation.
What do I get as a deliverable? +
A comprehensive written report with findings, risk assessments, recommendations, and a prioritised action plan. For ongoing engagements, you get regular strategy sessions, documentation, and decision support.
Can you work alongside our existing team? +
Absolutely. Most consulting engagements are collaborative. We work with your developers, product managers, and leadership to ensure recommendations are practical and adopted — not just filed away.

Common Questions

When do I need a tech consultant?
+
If you are choosing a tech stack for a new product, evaluating AI opportunities, planning a digital transformation, conducting technical due diligence for an investment, or struggling with technical debt, a consultant saves you time and expensive mistakes.
Do you only advise or do you also build?
+
Both. We can provide strategy-only engagements or handle the full lifecycle from consulting through to design, development, and launch. Most clients prefer the end-to-end approach.
What industries do you work with?
+
We work across SaaS, fintech, healthtech, e-commerce, professional services, and real estate. Our approach is technology-agnostic and adapts to your industry requirements.
