Advisory services

Make the expensive technology calls with evidence.

Most enterprise technology failures are decision failures, not engineering failures. We work on the side of the buyer: testing claims, showing trade-offs and staying accountable through delivery.

Technology consulting

Architecture, AI adoption and delivery, from fixed-scope discovery through co-delivery and handover to your own team.

  • Current-state review of systems, data and delivery capability
  • Target architecture with sequencing and cost implications
  • Co-delivery with your team, not a report and a goodbye
  • Handover documentation and capability transfer

Technology evaluation

Hands-on trials against your real data and constraints, ending in a scored recommendation your board can defend.

  • Requirements weighted with the people who will use the system
  • Structured trials on your data, not vendor demo environments
  • Scored comparison with the evidence behind each score
  • A written recommendation, including what we would not buy

Technology contracts

SLAs, data rights, exit clauses and ongoing vendor governance that protect the enterprise long after signing.

  • Service levels tied to outcomes you can actually measure
  • Data ownership, portability and exit terms made explicit
  • Commercial review of pricing models and escalation clauses
  • Ongoing vendor performance governance after go-live

How an engagement runs

Fixed scope first. Scale only if it earns it.

1. Working session

One real problem, on the table. We map the systems, decisions and constraints involved.

2. Fixed-scope discovery

A defined piece of work with a defined price and a defined deliverable.

3. Recommendation

Options, trade-offs and costs, including the option of doing nothing.

4. Delivery or handover

We co-deliver with your team, or hand over a plan your team can run without us.

A useful first meeting

Bring the decision you are stuck on.

A platform choice, a vendor proposal, a contract renewal or an AI programme that has stalled. One session, one honest read.
