Scope
Consultancy, from decision to plan
Sometimes you need a build. Sometimes you need someone honest to tell you what to build first, and how to run it. A short, focused engagement ends in a clear, prioritized plan you can act on, not a report nobody reads.
The standard
Four positions, each with the reasoning behind it.
Design
Software & system design
We design systems that are simple to run and built to grow, the architecture, the data model, and the boundaries, before the code locks decisions in. You leave with a clear technical direction, not a 60-page report nobody reads.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure & cloud platforms
We help you choose and shape the right infrastructure, cloud platforms, hosting, deployment, and the trade-offs between them, so your systems are fast, reliable, and not quietly burning money.
AI
AI strategy & feasibility
Before you invest in AI, find out where it genuinely pays off and where it is a distraction. We assess your data, your use cases, and the realistic effort, so you spend on what works.
Independence
Build vs buy, decided honestly
We have no incentive to sell you the longest project. We will tell you when an off-the-shelf tool is the right call and when custom is worth it. That honesty is why clients come back.

Building for European retail brands since 2022, directly and as part of larger delivery teams.
We work directly with clients and as part of larger agency delivery teams, whichever structure a project needs: migrating storefronts to modern stacks, pulling load times down, and lifting conversion. Since 2022 our engineers have built for leading European fashion and retail brands. Between engagements we run workshops for other agencies' developers and for university students.
Figures reflect the team's cumulative experience, including work delivered through partner organisations.
Questions
- Do you only consult, or can you build it too?
- Both. Many clients start with a short consulting engagement and then have us build what we recommended, but you are never obligated. The advice stands on its own.
- What does a consultancy engagement look like?
- Usually a short, focused engagement: we review your systems, architecture, infrastructure, and goals, then hand you a clear, prioritized plan, what to do, in what order, and why. Fixed scope, no open-ended retainers.
- Can you help with cloud and infrastructure decisions?
- Yes. Choosing and shaping cloud platforms, hosting, and deployment is part of our consultancy, we help you pick infrastructure that is fast and reliable without overspending.
- Can you give a second opinion on a project we already have?
- Yes. A clear-eyed second opinion on an existing build, vendor, or AI plan is some of the most valuable work we do, and often the cheapest mistake to avoid.

you are building.
A short discovery call, then a scoped first engagement with a measurable outcome. No decks, no discovery theatre.
