Start a conversation

Bring us a problem, an architecture, or an initiative that has stalled. The first call is technical and free, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

Before you write

Tell us what is actually going wrong.

Not what you think we want to hear. The messier the problem, the more useful the first call tends to be.

We are a good fit if you have real data volumes or real regulatory constraints, a platform that needs to become dependable, or an AI initiative that works in a notebook and nowhere else.

We are a poor fit if you need a large delivery team at short notice, or a supplier who will agree with a decision that has already been made. We will say so early rather than late.

Engagement options

You do not need to know which one you want.

But if you already do, say so — it makes the first call much faster.

  • Advisory sprint

    2–4 weeks
  • Architecture assessment

    3–6 weeks
  • Proof of concept

    4–8 weeks
  • Production build

    Project-based
  • Fractional architecture leadership

    Ongoing, part-time
  • Team enablement and training

    Programme-based

What each of these involves

What happens next

No funnel, no sequence, no handoff.

  1. 01

    We read it properly

    Not a sales-qualification pass. Somebody who could actually do the work reads what you wrote and thinks about it.

  2. 02

    A 30-minute technical call

    You speak to the person who would do the work. No pitch deck, no discovery script, no junior taking notes to hand upward.

  3. 03

    A short written summary

    What we heard, what we would suggest, and what we would need to know to be certain. Useful to you whether or not you engage us.

  4. 04

    A proposal only if there is a fit

    If we are not the right people, we say so — and where we can, we point you somewhere better.

Reassurance

What we will not do with your enquiry.

No sales sequence
You will not be added to a nurture campaign, a drip sequence or a newsletter you did not ask for.
Your details stay with us
We do not sell, share or trade enquiry data. It is used to answer you, and for nothing else.
Confidential by default
Tell us as much or as little as you like. We will sign an NDA before a detailed conversation if you would prefer one.
A reply from a human
Within one working day, from the person who read it. Not an autoresponder promising that someone will be in touch.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

What happens on a discovery call?

A technical conversation, usually thirty minutes. You describe the problem; we ask the questions we would need answered to advise you properly, and we tell you what we think. There is no deck, and you will not be handed to a salesperson afterwards.

How quickly can you start?

It depends on current commitments, and we will tell you honestly on the first call rather than promising a date we cannot hold. Advisory and assessment work can usually begin within a few weeks; a production build depends on scope.

Do you work remotely, on-site, or both?

Both. Most delivery work is remote, which is how modern engineering teams operate anyway. Discovery, architecture workshops and enablement sessions are often better in person, and we will travel for them.

How do you price an engagement?

Advisory sprints and assessments are fixed-price against a defined scope, so you know the cost before you commit. Build work is usually time-based, because fixed-pricing a build either pads the estimate or squeezes the quality. We will tell you which we are proposing and why.

Can you work alongside our existing engineering team?

Yes, and it is often the better arrangement. Embedded delivery leaves capability behind rather than a dependency on us — which is the outcome we are actually optimising for.

Is a first conversation really free?

Yes. We would rather spend thirty minutes establishing that we are not a fit than take an engagement we cannot do well. That is not generosity; a bad engagement costs us more than it earns.
