Technology Consulting
Code and architecture audits, technical due diligence, digital transformation roadmaps, stack selection, CTO-as-a-Service, support for strategic IT decisions. Vendor-independent consulting focused on results, not licenses.
What we deliver
- Source code audit with static analysis and manual review (SonarQube, CodeClimate)
- Architecture review: monolith vs microservices, coupling analysis, horizontal scalability
- Technical due diligence for M&A transactions, seed/Series A rounds, or software asset acquisitions
- Technology stack selection based on TCO, talent availability, and non-functional requirements
- Digital transformation roadmap with explicit milestones, risks, and dependencies
- CTO-as-a-Service: ongoing technical oversight for SMBs without an in-house CTO
- Technical debt assessment with per-item remediation effort estimates
- Build vs buy vs open source analysis with 3-year cost projection
When you need it
Company that inherited undocumented legacy software
The internal team can't estimate maintenance costs or plan new features. You need a clear map of the existing technical debt and a realistic remediation plan — without rewriting everything from scratch.
Pre-investment startup facing technical due diligence
A fund or acquirer wants an independent assessment of your codebase and architecture before signing. You need documented, neutral validation — not your own team's self-assessment.
Business evaluating multiple vendor proposals or SaaS platforms
Three vendors submit technically incompatible proposals. You need an advisor who can read the specs, identify lock-in risks, and help you build objective evaluation criteria before committing.
Founder without a CTO facing critical architectural decisions
The company is scaling, technical choices affect budget and time-to-market, but there's no senior technical lead in-house. CTO-as-a-Service fills that gap on a structured, ongoing basis.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a code audit take and what do I get at the end?
For a codebase of 50k–200k lines, a full audit typically takes 5–15 business days. The deliverable is a written report listing issues by severity, remediation effort estimates per item, and a prioritization matrix based on impact and risk. No sales pitch — just findings.
Is consulting billed per day or per project?
It depends on the type of engagement. Audits and due diligence are billed per project with a fixed scope. CTO-as-a-Service runs on a recurring monthly retainer, usually 8–20 hours per month. Either way, scope is agreed in writing before work begins.
How do you ensure your recommendations are independent?
We don't have commercial agreements with software vendors or cloud providers that could influence our assessments. Stack recommendations are based on technical requirements, real costs, and market talent availability. If open source is the right answer, that's what we'll say.
Can we bring you in for a single decision without a long-term contract?
Yes. We also work in point-in-time advisory mode: a structured 2–4 hour session with written output. It's the right format when you need to resolve a single critical decision — choosing between two databases, evaluating a vendor, or reviewing an architecture proposal you've received.
What if the audit reveals problems caused by our own development team?
The report describes the state of the code — it doesn't evaluate individuals. Technical problems almost always have systemic root causes: missing standards, time pressure, lack of peer review. Our job is to give management the information needed to make decisions, not to create internal friction.
