Short-term consultancy
One decision. One review. One problem.
Not every problem needs a retainer. Sometimes you need someone senior to look hard at one thing, tell you what they think, and go away again. Fixed scope, fixed fee, and no attempt to turn it into something ongoing.
What people usually call us about
Technology due diligence
You are buying a business, selling one, or taking investment. What is the technology estate really worth, what is the technical debt, what is the cyber exposure, and what will it cost to integrate or separate?
A second opinion on a proposal
You have a quote in front of you and something about it does not sit right. We will read it, price it against the market, and tell you what it does not say.
Supplier renegotiation
Contracts nobody has revisited for years are where the easy money usually is. We map the spend, benchmark it and support the conversation.
Architecture review
Is what you are about to build the right shape? Will it still be supportable in five years, and by someone other than the person proposing it?
Programme rescue
An ERP, migration or integration that is late and getting later. An honest independent read on whether to fix it, restructure it or stop.
Vendor selection
Running a proper RFI or RFP, scoring it honestly, and sitting on the panel. We have been on both sides of that table.
£950 a day, or a fixed price for the whole piece once we know the scope. The £3,500 Technology Audit is the most common shape: three weeks, a board-ready report and a twelve-month roadmap, with no obligation to do anything afterwards.
One problem, one conversation
Tell us the decision you are stuck on. If it takes twenty minutes rather than three weeks, we will just answer it.
