When the decision is expensive, get a senior outside read.
Reviews of how your software (or your AI setup) is built, technical due diligence on companies you might buy, security checks, or just a sanity check before committing serious budget — delivered as a written report your board, investors or team can act on.
Sound familiar?
You're here because one of these is true.
You're about to commit serious budget
Whether it's a re-platform, an acquisition or a vendor commitment — you want a senior outside read before you sign, not seller-friendly fluff.
Your team wants to rebuild the product
Six engineers with strong opinions and no agreement. You need an outside voice the room will trust.
Something broke and you don't know why
Performance, security or downtime problems need a senior root-cause review — and a written plan to fix them.
What we do
Project reviews, AI audits and second opinions.
When the decision is expensive — a rebuild, an acquisition, a security incident, or an AI setup that's quietly costing more than it should — you want a senior outside read. We run focused projects that end in a written report your board, investors or team can act on.

- Diagrams of how your software is built, plus a list of risks

- An AI audit: where AI helps, where it doesn't, and what it actually costs
- Estimates of how much each change would cost
- Interviews with the people involved, and a clear summary

Common questions
Everything else.
Do you sign NDAs?
Always. A mutual NDA is the first document we send.
Can you implement the recommendations?
Yes — usually as a follow-up Monthly Support or Rent-a-CTO project.
What does the report look like?
20–60 pages. Executive summary, findings ranked by priority, diagrams, short code examples and cost estimates.
Do you talk to our engineers?
Yes — interviews are central to a real review. We schedule carefully so we don't disrupt their work.
Scope a review.
30 minutes. No slides, no pitch. Just a quick conversation to see if we're the right fit.
