Technical Advisory
Strategic technology guidance from engineers who have built and shipped real systems. Fractional CTO, developer vetting, architecture review, and due diligence.
Technical advice is only useful if it comes from people who have actually built things in production. Strategy that has not been tested against reality tends to sound good and fall apart when it meets the first real constraint.
We have helped companies find and vet developers, assessed codebases for risk, and guided technology decisions for businesses at different stages. We give you an honest picture, not a comfortable one.
What We Deliver
Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership on a part-time basis. We sit in your leadership team, own the technology direction, and represent engineering at the decision-making level without the cost of a full-time hire.
Developer Sourcing and Vetting
We act as a technical intermediary to help you find and assess engineering talent. We assess candidates against your actual needs, not just their CV, and help you avoid the most common hiring mistakes.
Codebase and Architecture Review
An honest assessment of your current system. What is the risk? Where is the debt concentrated? What needs to change before you can scale? We deliver a clear picture and a prioritised remediation plan.
Technology Stack Selection
Choosing the wrong technology early is expensive to unwind. We help you evaluate options against your constraints: team capability, timeline, budget, and long-term maintainability.
Engineering Team Structure
How should your team be organised? What roles do you actually need? When should you hire versus outsource? We help leadership think through these questions with an experienced perspective.
Due Diligence
Technical due diligence for acquisitions, investments, or partnerships. We assess the quality, risk, and scalability of a codebase and engineering team and give you a clear picture before you commit.
Who This Is For
- Early-stage companies without a technical co-founder who need senior technology guidance
- Businesses that keep hiring the wrong developers and want a more rigorous process
- Founders preparing for investment who need their technology story to be credible
- Companies considering an acquisition and needing an independent technical assessment
How We Work
Advisory engagements start with a structured conversation to understand where you are and what decisions are in front of you. We do not charge for that conversation.
From there we agree on scope — whether that is a one-time architecture review, ongoing fractional CTO involvement, or a specific hiring or due diligence mandate. We keep engagements focused so you are paying for output, not availability.
