Consulting

Clear technical decisions before you build

We help founders and operations leaders decide what to build, how to architect it and where AI and automation will actually pay off.

The problem

Expensive decisions, made without clarity

The costliest mistakes in software happen before a line of code is written: the wrong scope, the wrong architecture or the wrong vendor.

Unclear AI strategy

Pressure to “use AI” without a clear view of where it creates value, or risk.

Architecture risk

Early technical choices limit scale, security and speed later on.

Vendor uncertainty

Proposals, estimates and platforms are hard to judge without independent expertise.

Stalled roadmaps

Too many ideas, no clear order, and teams busy on work that does not move the business.

Our approach

Advice you can build on

Our consultants are working engineers. Every engagement ends with concrete deliverables, such as decisions, diagrams, roadmaps and estimates, that you can act on with us or anyone else.

What you get

  • Short, fixed-scope engagements
  • Written recommendations, not slideware
  • Architecture diagrams and decision records
  • Prioritised roadmaps with effort estimates
  • Optional support to execute the plan

Capabilities

What our Consulting work covers

Pick one capability or combine several. Each is scoped, estimated and delivered with the same engineering standards.

Product strategy

Define the problem, users, scope and success metrics for a new product or feature.

Software architecture

Architecture design and reviews covering scalability, security, cost and maintainability.

AI adoption

Identify high-value AI use cases, assess data readiness and plan a safe rollout.

Automation strategy

Map processes, rank automation opportunities and choose the right platforms.

Technical consulting

On-demand senior guidance for your team on specific technical decisions.

Technical due diligence

Independent review of a codebase, team and roadmap before investment or acquisition.

Use cases

Where teams put this to work

Common starting points. Your process will have its own details, which is why every engagement starts with discovery.

  1. 01

    AI readiness assessment

    Find where AI can help, what data it needs and what could go wrong.

  2. 02

    Architecture review

    Stress-test your system design before scaling users, data or team.

  3. 03

    Build vs buy decision

    Compare custom development with SaaS options on cost, risk and fit.

  4. 04

    Automation roadmap

    A ranked backlog of automations with expected effort and impact.

  5. 05

    MVP scoping

    Cut a product idea down to the smallest version worth building.

  6. 06

    Proposal review

    An independent view on vendor proposals, estimates and technical plans.

Industries

Built for operational teams across industries

The patterns carry across sectors. What changes is the data, the systems and the rules, and we learn those first.

  • SaaS & technology

    Product engineering, integrations and AI features for software companies.

  • Professional services

    Automated intake, document workflows and client reporting for agencies, consultancies and firms.

  • Finance operations

    Invoice processing, reconciliation support and reporting automation.

  • Healthcare operations

    Scheduling, intake and back-office workflows, designed with privacy requirements in mind.

Case studies

Proof, published with evidence

Every case study we publish is approved by the client and limited to results we can verify.

Verified case studies only

We publish a case study only when the client has approved it and every result is verified. Until then, we are glad to walk you through our approach, architecture and delivery process for problems like yours.

FAQ

Consulting questions

Straight answers to the questions that come up in first calls.

Ask us directly
What does a consulting engagement include?

Each engagement has a fixed scope and ends with written deliverables, such as an architecture document, an AI opportunity assessment or a prioritised roadmap with estimates.

Do we have to build with Metivant afterwards?

No. Recommendations are yours to use with any team. If you want help executing the plan, we can support that too.

How do you approach AI adoption?

We identify where AI can reduce cost or improve speed, check data quality and risks, then pilot the highest-value use case with measurable success criteria before scaling it.
