A short technical review of your current architecture and data.
A two to three week assessment of architecture, data engineering, and scalability, with a prioritized roadmap. For teams about to make a platform decision they cannot afford to get wrong.
When this engagement makes sense
A re-platform decision is on the table and the leadership team is split.
Data quality is degrading and reporting is no longer trustworthy.
The current architecture is slowing release velocity to a crawl.
A major customer or compliance commitment depends on a system that may not hold.
An AI or agentic initiative is blocked by the underlying data layer.
An acquisition is about to be integrated and the target stack is unfamiliar.
For teams about to invest heavily in a platform they are not sure can carry the weight. The cost of being wrong is not the rebuild; it is the eighteen months of growth lost to a platform that cannot scale, integrate, or be trusted by the data team.
The deliverables
Architecture read
Direct assessment of the current stack against the next two years of business demand. Where it holds. Where it breaks. What it will cost either way.
Data engineering audit
Data flows, quality, lineage, warehouse choices, reporting reliability. The honest answer on whether the data layer can carry the analytics and AI ambitions.
Scalability and resilience read
Load profile, failure modes, single points of failure, vendor lock-in, cost trajectory. Scored.
Prioritized roadmap
A 6 to 18 month sequence of fixes and investments. Quick wins, structural plays, and avoidable spend separated.
Vendor-neutral recommendation
No reseller agreements, no kickbacks. The recommendation reflects what the business needs, not what someone wants to sell.
A good fit if
- CTOs facing a re-platform decision.
- CEOs and sponsors weighing a major platform investment.
- Operating partners deciding whether to greenlight a multi-quarter rebuild.
- Portfolio companies integrating an acquired target's stack.
Probably not if
- —Pre-product companies still finding their stack.
- —Teams looking for a vendor-aligned recommendation.
Killed a $1.2M re-platform that would not have fixed the actual problem.
A growth-stage company was three weeks from signing a $1.2M re-platform contract. The review found that the platform was not the bottleneck; the data layer was, and the proposed replacement would not have addressed it. The roadmap delivered the actual fix for under $200k. The CEO and the board took the recommendation. The re-platform contract was cancelled.
