You can't tell if your development is on track
The demo works and the team says it's almost done. Why you can't see the real state of your project from the outside, and who can.
Architecture that holds up in production.
Designs, reviews and plans your team can build on.

AI writes code fast. Someone still has to think.
AI agents write code fast and multiply the skill of whoever uses them. Why an AI-built product still needs an engineer to check it and set its direction.
You don't know what a feature will really cost
You ask the team how long a new feature will take. They say ten weeks. Six months later it's still not done, the budget is gone, and nobody can explain exactly where it went.
PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
You can't tell if your development is on track
Is the code solid? Is the team slow, or is the work hard? Are the estimates honest? We review the architecture, the code and how the team delivers, then tell you in plain language what's going on and what to do about it.

Growth brings hard technical decisions. Without a CTO, nobody owns them. With a busy one, they wait. We fill that gap part-time: design the hard parts, guide the team, and you pay only for the hours you use.
AI writes code fast. Someone still has to think.
AI agents multiply whatever skill the person using them has. We assess your team, then write designs and specs precise enough that developers, and AI agents, build the right thing, and your team leads can verify it.

We turn an idea into a design, a task-by-task plan with estimates, and a timeline. You see the full cost before you commit, and can decide if it's worth building at all.
Read the articleThe team is busy, but delivery is slow
We look at how work actually flows: who does what, where handoffs break, who's overloaded, what's missing. Then we fix the process so you get more done for the same spend.
Infrastructure nobody fully owns
With our DevOps partners, we do the same for servers, deployments and cloud: an audit, a plan and hands-on fixes.
SERVICES
Technical Audit
Format: 2–3 weeks, fixed price.
A clear answer to "is our development OK?" We review the architecture, code quality, delivery speed and team skills.
You get: a written report in plain language, a list of risks ranked by severity, prioritized fixes, and a debrief call.
Part-time CTO & Architect
Format: monthly, billed by the hour. Scale it up or down as you need.
No CTO yet? We fill the role: technical strategy, key decisions, and guiding the team. Have a CTO buried in strategy? We become their right hand and take over the architecture: designs, code reviews, guiding developers, interviewing candidates, keeping vendors in check.
You get: a senior architect on call, regular syncs with your team, reviewed designs and code, and every key decision written down.
Design & Delivery Plan
Format: per project.
From idea to a plan your team can execute. We write high- and low-level designs and specs precise enough for developers, and AI agents, to build from, and for team leads to check the result against. Then we break the work into tasks with estimates and a timeline.
You get: design docs, a task breakdown, estimates, a Gantt timeline and the total cost, so you can decide if it's worth building.
Process Review
Format: 1–2 weeks, fixed price.
Find out where the time and money go. We map who does what, where handoffs break, who's overloaded and what's missing, then recommend a leaner setup.
You get: a map of your current process, the bottlenecks, and a concrete list of changes.
Infrastructure & DevOps
Format: per project or monthly.
Together with our DevOps partners: servers, cloud, deployments, monitoring and costs. We audit, plan and fix.
You get: an infrastructure review, a cost breakdown, and a plan or hands-on fixes.
