Services
What we offer, and how you can buy it: three engagement formats, powered by four areas of deep expertise. We design it, you build it, we stay close while you do.
How we work with you
Strategy Consulting
ad hoc & recurringA sounding board for your strategy — and a senior partner when you need to go deeper.
- Bring your thinking and get constructive, honest feedback — challenge included, validation not guaranteed
- Follow-up advice that goes as deep as you need: from a quick second opinion to in-depth recommendations and roadmaps
- Ad hoc: strategy sprints, architecture workshops, technology & vendor selection, decision memos
- Recurring: a standing senior partner for your CTO, CIO or Head of Data — scaling to fractional leadership when capacity allows
- Executive-level and business-aligned — shaped at the table where objectives are set
Typical engagements
Sounding-board session
90 minutes · one topic · straight feedback on your thinking
Strategy sprint
1–2 weeks · one decision · we join your exercise as the critical outside voice
Advisory retainer
monthly · standing access · scales up to one embedded day a week — limited seats
Reviews & Assessments
fixed scopeWeeks, not months — and the low-risk way to work with us for the first time.
- Data platform & architecture review: will it scale, will it comply, and what does it really cost?
- Security review of highly restrictive data environments: PII handling, IAM, secrets and network isolation — held to the government-grade bar
- AI & LLM review: which use cases pay off, whether your models belong in the cloud or on-premise — and whether your data flows and guardrails stand up to scrutiny
- Every review ends in findings and a prioritized roadmap your teams can act on immediately
Typical engagements
Focused review
1–2 weeks · one system or decision · findings + recommendation
Full assessment
3–4 weeks · platform-wide · findings + prioritized roadmap
Product Development Consulting
lifecycle advisoryProduct advice from people who ship and operate products of their own.
- Across the lifecycle: validation, architecture, build oversight, launch and operations
- The owner's-engineer role: keeping your internal team or external agency honest
- Review and rescue of in-flight builds
- Grounded in live products we design, ship and run ourselves
Typical engagements
Product check
1–2 weeks · an in-flight build reviewed · clear verdict + fixes
Owner's engineer
recurring · alongside your team or agency · quality that holds
Where we're deepest
The expertise behind every engagement — whichever format it takes.
Data platform & architecture strategy
Cloud-first and hybrid platforms for the strictest environments — PII-grade security, cost-efficient cloud adoption, governance designed in. Deepest in Azure and the modern data stack, vendor-neutral in our advice.
AI strategy
From use-case discovery to working models and safe LLM adoption: which data may meet which models, whether those models belong in the cloud or on-premise — and governance built with your organization rather than imposed on it. We recommend what fits, not what's fashionable.
Architecture, security & governance
Enterprise, security and data architecture for highly restrictive environments — IAM, secrets management, and engineering governance frameworks with the boards that run them.
Modernization & team enablement
Migration strategy off legacy (SAS-class) stacks, tooling migrations that stick, and coaching that makes your teams self-sufficient.
Every engagement starts the same way: a 30-minute conversation to see whether we're a fit — free, no obligation.
