Service · Advisory & solution design

IT consulting that starts before the first line of code.

Process assessment, business analysis, requirements and solution design. We map how work really flows, find the costly friction, size the fix, and write it down in a specification both sides can sign.

What you get

• Process assessment — how the work actually runs today, where it waits and what that costs, summarised in a business case.
• Business analysis and requirements — requirements gathered from the people who do the work, written as testable acceptance criteria.
• Solution design and architecture — the systems, integrations and data needed, and the options with their trade-offs.
• A specification you can take anywhere — build it with us, with your own team or with another vendor.

Why pay for this first

Most failed software projects did not fail in the code. They failed because nobody agreed what "done" meant. A few weeks of assessment and specification is the cheapest point to find out that a project is bigger, smaller or different from what everyone assumed.

When the specification is signed, the same criteria drive development and testing, so nothing is lost between the people who asked and the people who built it.

Questions clients ask

Do we have to build with you afterwards?

No. The specification is yours. Many clients use it to get comparable quotes.

Will you tell us if software isn't the answer?

Yes. Sometimes the fix is a process change or a tool you already own. We would rather say so than sell you a project.
