When the decision is expensive, get a senior outside opinion.
We review how your software (or AI setup) is built. We run technical due diligence on companies you might buy. We check security. Or we give a sanity check before you commit serious budget. Every project ends in a written report your board, investors or team can act on.
Sound familiar?
You're here because one of these is true.
You're about to commit serious budget
Whether it's a platform rebuild, an acquisition or a vendor commitment, you want a senior outside opinion before you sign, not a sales pitch from the seller.
Your team wants to rebuild the product
Six engineers with strong opinions and no agreement. You need an outside voice the room will trust.
Something broke and you don't know why
Performance, security or downtime problems need a senior root-cause review, and a written plan to fix them.
What we do
Architecture, due diligence, AI & security reviews, second opinions before big commits, delivered as written reports you can act on.
When the decision is expensive, a rebuild, an acquisition, a security incident, or an AI setup that's quietly costing more than it should, you want a senior outside opinion. We run focused projects that end in a written report your board, investors or team can act on.

Common questions
Everything else.
Do you sign NDAs?
Always. A mutual NDA is the first document we send.
Can you implement the recommendations?
Yes, usually as a follow-up Monthly Support or Rent-a-CTO project.
What does the report look like?
20 – 60 pages. Executive summary, findings ranked by priority, diagrams, short code examples and cost estimates.
Do you talk to our engineers?
Yes, interviews are central to a real review. We schedule carefully so we don't disrupt their work.

No slides, no pitch. Just a quick conversation to see if we're the right fit.
