Typical questions

  • Will this architecture survive ten times the load, and what breaks first?
  • Should we build this or buy it, and what does each path cost over three years?
  • Is this codebase an asset or a liability? Technical due diligence for acquisitions and investments.
  • What should the first five engineering hires be, in what order?

What you get

A written answer you can circulate: the reasoning, the recommendation, and the plan. Everything we advise is something we have built or run ourselves, which is the difference between consultancy and applied consultancy.

The people on the call are the founders of the firm, and if the answer later turns into a build, the same people deliver it.
