Revisions

Ownership

Yours from day one

Overview

What this engagement is

An hour is enough to work through a real architecture problem if the preparation is done first. You share diagrams, repository access or a description of the situation, and we review it before the call rather than reacting live. Then we spend the hour on the decision in front of you: whether to split the monolith, how to handle the scaling wall you can see coming, whether the platform you are evaluating fits. You get the recording and written notes with a recommendation you can act on.

Booked most often by

  • Teams facing a significant architecture decision with no senior voice in the room
  • Founders evaluating a build-versus-buy choice
  • Engineering leads who want their plan challenged before committing

What we need from you

  • Whatever documentation exists, plus read access to code if relevant

  • The right people on the call, including whoever decides

These are collected in the technical brief that opens in your dashboard the moment payment clears. The clock starts when they arrive, not before.

Answers

Questions this engagement raises

Yes, up to five. Beyond that the conversation stops being useful.

Book two, or we scope a short consulting engagement. We will tell you honestly which is appropriate.

If you commission a build with us within 30 days, we normally credit the fee.

This is engineering work, not a physical product — nothing ships and there is no stock to run out of. Delivery is to the working days stated above, into systems you control, and the refund terms set out what happens if we miss the date.
