Honest Technology Guidance When You Need It

Sometimes you don’t need someone to build something – you need someone to help you figure out what to build in the first place. Or maybe you need extra hands on an existing project, help evaluating vendors, or guidance on technical decisions. That’s where we come in.

Why Get Outside Technology Advice?

Technology moves fast, and it’s hard to stay on top of everything while running your business. Should you build a native app or use React Native? Is that vendor proposal reasonable? Do you really need blockchain? (Probably not.)

We’ve been in the trenches. We’ve built systems from scratch, rescued failing projects, and seen what works (and what doesn’t). More importantly, we’ll be upfront about what we think you actually need – even if that means less work for us. Sometimes the best solution is the simplest one, and we’re not afraid to tell you that.

How We Can Help

Project Planning & RFPs

Starting a new project? We can help you:

• Break down your needs into clear requirements
• Write detailed RFPs that get good responses
• Evaluate vendor proposals honestly
• Create realistic project timelines and budgets
• Identify potential risks before they become problems

Need help writing a Statement of Work that won’t come back to bite you later? We’ve written (and lived through) enough of them to know what works.

Staff Augmentation

Sometimes you just need extra hands on deck. Whether it’s a temporary push or ongoing support, we can integrate with your team to:

• Fill specific skill gaps in your existing team
• Provide senior-level guidance to junior developers
• Handle overflow work during busy periods
• Bring new perspectives to challenging problems

Technology Assessment

Not sure if you’re on the right track? We can help evaluate your:

• Current technology stack and architecture
• Development processes and practices
• Vendor relationships and contracts
• Security practices and risks
• Performance bottlenecks and scaling concerns

Project Rescue

Is your project going sideways? We’ve been there. We can:

• Assess what’s actually going wrong
• Recommend practical fixes
• Help implement solutions
• Get things back on track without pointing fingers

Our Consulting Approach

We believe in:

Brutal Honesty

Sometimes the truth is uncomfortable, but we’ll always give it to you straight. If we think you’re heading down the wrong path, we’ll tell you – and explain why.

Practical Solutions

We won’t suggest complex solutions to simple problems. Sometimes you need a custom app, but sometimes a spreadsheet will do just fine. We’ll help you find the right tool for the job.

Clear Communication

Technical jargon has its place, but we speak plain English. We’ll help you understand your options without hiding behind buzzwords.

Your Best Interests

We’re here to help you make the best decisions for your business, not to sell you services you don’t need. Sometimes that means recommending someone else, and we’re okay with that.

When to Bring Us In

Consider reaching out when:

• You’re starting a new technical project and want to avoid common pitfalls
• Your current project isn’t going as planned
• You need temporary technical expertise
• You’re evaluating vendors or technical proposals
• You want an honest second opinion on technical decisions
• You need help writing technical requirements or RFPs

Let’s Talk

Whether you need a quick consultation or ongoing support, we’re here to help. We can start with a conversation about your needs and see if we’re a good fit. No pressure, no sales pitch – just honest discussion about your technology challenges.
