Know what you're building before you fund it
A senior, independent read on your system before you commit budget to building.
For teams planning a rebuild, scaling a platform that is starting to creak, or deciding where AI should (and should not) go.
2 weeks
Fixed fee, quoted upfront
- Architecture & risk assessment
- AI opportunity map
- Prioritised roadmap
- Written report + walkthrough
NDA before we see any code
What you get
You leave with a written assessment and a prioritised roadmap your team can execute with us, with someone else, or on its own.
Architecture & risk assessment
Boundaries, data model, concurrency, failure modes, and the risks most likely to cost you money.
AI opportunity map
Where models earn their place, where they do not, with rough running costs per workflow.
Prioritised roadmap
Sequenced next steps with effort ranges, so you can budget the build with real numbers.
Written report + walkthrough
A document you keep, and a one-hour session with your team to go through it.
How it works
- 1Day 1
Kick-off: goals, constraints, and access to code, docs, and the people who know the system.
- 2Days 2–8
We read the code, trace the critical flows, and interview the team.
- 3Days 9–10
Report delivered, then a walkthrough with your team and a clear recommendation.
Questions we get asked
Do we have to hire you for the build afterwards?
No. The report is yours, written so any competent team can act on it.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before we see any code or documentation.
What access do you need?
Read access to the repositories and docs, and 3–4 hours with the people who run the system.
What if the system is in good shape?
Then the report says so, with evidence, which is useful when you are defending a roadmap or raising.
