IT Consulting

Advice from people who also have to build it

Technology strategy, architecture review and delivery recovery from consultants who build systems as well as documents — which tends to make the recommendations more honest.

Written report

Always the output

Time-boxed

Fixed scope

Independent

Priced separately from delivery

Overview

What you get from this practice

A written report, not a workshop you have to reconstruct
Findings ranked by business impact with costed remediation
Options presented with the case against each one included
Clear separation between advice and any delivery that follows
No obligation to use us for the work we recommend

Capabilities

What this practice covers

Technology strategy

Target architecture, capability roadmap and investment sequencing aligned to business objectives and budget cycles.

Assessment of codebase, team, architecture and technical debt for investors, acquirers and boards.

How we deliver

From first conversation to a running system

Step 01

Scope & access

A clear question, a fixed timeframe and the access needed to answer it properly — code, systems, people and numbers.

Step 02

Evidence gathering

Interviews, code and infrastructure review, and analysis of the metrics that already exist.

Step 03

Findings & options

Written findings with severity, options with trade-offs, and a recommendation we are prepared to defend.

Step 04

Support the decision

Presentation to your leadership team, then optional support through execution.

Technology

What we build with

We keep a deliberately narrow toolset so the depth is real. Within it, the choice is made per engagement based on your team and your constraints rather than our preferences.

Where your team already knows a technology well, that usually outweighs a marginal technical advantage elsewhere — and we will say so.

Area	Tools and platforms
Frameworks	C4 model, Well-Architected reviews, DORA metrics
Assessment	Static analysis, SonarQube, dependency and licence audit
Financial	TCO modelling, unit economics, cloud spend analysis
Delivery	Flow metrics, capacity modelling, risk registers

Questions

IT Consulting, answered plainly

The questions clients actually ask about this practice, including the awkward ones.

All FAQs

There is a real tension and we manage it explicitly. Advisory engagements are scoped and priced independently, and our recommendations name external options where they are the better answer.

For most reviews we can mobilise within a week and deliver inside two to three weeks, depending on system size and how ready the documentation is.

Senior consultants with delivery backgrounds — the people named in the proposal. We do not staff advisory work with juniors.

A written report with findings, evidence and recommendations, a prioritised roadmap with indicative effort, and a leadership presentation. Everything is yours to use however you wish.

Related practices

Engagements rarely need only one

Most work combines two or three practices under a single delivery lead.
