FAQ
Frequently asked questions
It's a knowledgeable outside view on a technical decision you'll live with for years: architecture and codebase reviews, technology and stack selection, build-vs-buy calls, scaling and migration roadmaps, and technical due diligence.
Founders and CTOs facing a big technical decision, teams unsure whether to rebuild or refactor, and investors who need technical due diligence on a company before a deal closes.
Often a focused few weeks, depending on how much you want reviewed. You leave with a written, prioritized roadmap your team can execute with or without us, plus follow-up sessions as you put it into practice.
Written findings and a prioritized roadmap with the costs, risks and second-order effects made explicit, not just a single recommendation slide. The plan is something your team can actually act on.
Yes, often. We read the code and the context before forming an opinion, and we'll recommend the cheaper path, refactor, buy, or leave it alone, whenever a full rebuild isn't justified. You're paying for judgment, not a sales pitch.
Need a second opinion you can trust?
