Find the Right Intervention.

Every organization breaks differently. We start by identifying your specific constraint, then we apply the correct engineering lever.

DIAGNOSTICS: Identify the Constraint

For when you know something is wrong, but you can't point to the root cause. These are low-risk, high-clarity engagements that establish the baseline before any transformation work.

The AI Readiness Audit

STRATEGIC DIAGNOSTIC

Is this for you?

You are an SME or Scale-up leader feeling the pressure to "do something with AI." You don't want to be left behind, but you suspect your messy data or fragmented processes might be a problem. You want a reality check before you start building or deploying GenAI systems.

When to apply:

  • "We want to build a chatbot for customer support, but our documentation is scattered across Google Drive and random PDFs."

  • "I want to use AI to analyze our sales data, but I'm not sure if our data is clean enough to trust the results."

  • "Our competitors are announcing AI features and our board is asking what our strategy is."

The Outcome:

Data Maturity Scorecard & Gap Analysis.

A honest reality check on your infrastructure's readiness for GenAI, covering data quality, workflow maturity, and organizational capability to absorb the transformation.

The Engineering Friction Diagnostic

"CONWAY’S LAW AUDIT"

Is this for you?

You are a Scale-up CEO or CTO who feels like you're pushing on a string. You've hired more engineers, but shipping speed has actually decreased. You suspect the issue isn't bad code but bad structure, but you don't have the time to map the invisible social wiring of your teams.

When to apply:

  • "We grew the team significantly, and now nobody knows who owns what."

  • "My developers are complaining about 'too many meetings' and 'unclear requirements,' but my PMs say the developers are 'slow'."

  • “We have multiple teams building the same feature in different ways."

The Outcome:

Friction Map & Remediation Roadmap.

We visualize exactly where your Org Chart is fighting your Architecture—identifying the structural mismatches that create coordination drag.

The Digital Readiness Assessment

FOR NON-TECH BUSINESSES

Is this for you?

You run a Manufacturing, Logistics, or any other Service business. You know you need to modernize, but you're terrified of spending six figures on software that nobody uses. You want to fix your processes before you automate them.

When to apply:

  • "We're running a significant operation on Excel sheets and email."

  • "We tried implementing a CRM last year and it was a disaster; the staff just went back to paper."

  • "I want to buy an ERP system, but I don't know if my team is ready to handle it."

The Outcome:

Operational Workflow Map & Technology Gap Analysis.

A safety check before you sign the big contract—identifying which processes are automation-ready and which need refactoring first.

ADVISORY: Architect the Solution

For when you need a partner to own the structural evolution of your organization.

Fractional VPE / Strategic Advisor

THE "OPERATING SYSTEM" ARCHITECT

Is this for you?

You are a Founder or CEO of a growing startup, or a Non-Tech Enterprise building an internal tech team. You have smart developers, but no "Adult in the Room" to set standards, career paths, and culture. You don't need a full-time executive yet, but you need executive-level thinking.

When to apply:

  • "My Lead Developer is a genius coder but is burning out trying to manage people."

  • "We have no hiring process; we just hire people we like. Now the team culture feels uneven."

  • "I need someone to sit in the board meeting and explain why 'rewriting everything' is a bad idea (or a good one)."

  • "We're at the point where tribal knowledge isn't enough anymore, but I don't want to install heavy bureaucracy."

The Outcome:

The Engineering Operating System:

I install the architecture of roles, rituals, and culture that enables your team to scale. This includes:

  • Organizational design (team structure, reporting lines, decision rights)

  • Engineering standards and quality gates

  • Career frameworks and leveling systems

  • Strategic technical roadmap alignment with business goals

You stop worrying about the how and focus on the what.

TRANSFORMATION: Build the Future

Deep-work engagements to build specific capabilities or overhaul systems. Don't scale on a broken foundation—it will crack spectacularly at the worst possible time.

AI-Augmented SDLC

FOR SOFTWARE TEAMS

Is this for you?

You run a software services business or internal dev team. The market is shifting—clients are demanding fixed-price bids with aggressive timelines, and your T&M model is losing deals. Your competitors who've integrated AI into their SDLC are delivering 30-40% faster at lower cost while maintaining quality. You need to adopt or lose ground.

When to apply:

  • "We lost two deals this quarter to competitors who quoted half our timeline at 70% of our price."

  • "Our cost-per-feature is steadily going up while the market rate is dropping. We're getting squeezed on margins."

  • "We're still estimating projects like it's 2020, but clients expect 2025 delivery speeds."

  • "Our senior developers experimented with AI tools but complain about hallucinations and lack of deterministic control."

The Outcome:

An "AI-First" Development Process.

We redesign your full SDLC (Requirements → Code → Test → Documentation) to multiply your senior engineers' leverage without sacrificing quality standards. Think of it as a modern factory floor for your code.

The Scale-Up Operating System Install

REFACTORING THE ORGANIZATION

Is this for you?

You are transitioning from a "Tribe" (20-30 people who all know each other) to an "Organization" (50+ people where strangers work together). The old informal ways of communicating are breaking down. You need structure, but you hate bureaucracy.

When to apply:

  • "We used to just 'talk over the desk,' but now with remote work and multiple teams, nobody knows what's going on."

  • "Decisions take forever because everyone thinks they need to be in every meeting."

  • "We have no documented processes; everything lives in people's heads."

The Outcome:

The Engineering Handbook + Implementation Workshops.

We install the protocols that allow you to grow without slowing down—documented decision frameworks, communication cadences, role clarity, and escalation paths. The infrastructure that makes scale possible.

Agentic Workflow Architecture

DESIGNING THE HYBRID WORKFORCE

Is this for you?

You run an operations-heavy business (Logistics, Finance, Admin). You are tired of "RPA" bots that break every time a website changes. You want to use modern AI Agents to handle complex reasoning tasks, not just clicking buttons.

When to apply:

  • "My team spends hours daily reading invoices and matching them to POs. It requires judgment, so standard automation fails."

  • "We need to triage thousands of customer emails that require understanding intent, not just keyword matching."

  • "We want to automate decision-making workflows, not just data entry."

The Outcome:

A deployed, autonomous workflow system.

We design the logic where humans handle edge cases and agents handle the systematic grind, delivering real operational leverage, not just automation theater.

Most engagements start with a conversation, not a contract. If you recognize the symptoms but aren't sure of the cure, let's just talk. I'll tell you honestly if I can help, or I'll point you to someone who can.

Engineering Note: Like any diagnostic process, clarity improves with information exchange. The discovery call is a low-cost information-gathering exercise, not a sales pitch.
