If a vendor's quote is in your inbox this week
Most of what you've been told you need, you don't.
What this is
The technology advisor for businesses without an in-house tech team.
Free first hour. You leave with a written recommendation, build it with us, in-house, or with whoever it actually fits.
The honest part
Sometimes the answer is don't hire us.
If another firm is the better fit, we'll say so, and name them. On the record.
How we decide
We work it out in front of you.
- What's actually costing you money.
- What you already own.
- The smallest thing that closes the gap.
- The price, before you commit.
Use this without us
Before you build, answer five.
1Is it costing real money this quarter?2Has something you already pay for failed, for real?3Would you still want it at double the cost?4Can you name who it makes easier on day one?5Will it still matter in eighteen months?
Three "no"s. Don't build. Keep your year.
If it's a yes
Roadmap. Advisory. Build. Or we send you elsewhere.
Fixed price, named scope. You see the cost on day one, what's in it, and what we're choosing not to do. No retainer trap, no lock-in.
The only ask on this deck
Take the free hour.

An hour, in plain English. You walk away with a written recommendation, build with us, in-house, or wherever it actually fits. Worst case: we tell you not to call back, and you keep the recommendation. Harjeet · Applied North
