Technology consulting

Senior advice before, during and after you build

Get a straight answer on what to build, how to build it and what it will take, from engineers who design, build and launch apps themselves.

The most expensive mistakes in an app project happen before any code is written: the wrong scope, the wrong platform or an architecture that can't grow. A few hours of experienced advice can save months of rework.

We work with founders, product teams and companies with an existing app. You can book us by the hour or day, for a one-off review or as an ongoing technical advisor.

Services

How we can help

Product & MVP strategy

Turn an idea into the smallest version worth launching, with a scoped plan and estimate.

Platform & tech-stack choice

Native, cross-platform or web, and which backend and cloud, based on your users, budget and team.

Architecture reviews

A review of your app and backend design for scalability, offline support, security and maintainability.

Code audits

An honest assessment of an existing codebase, with a prioritised list of what to fix first.

App Store readiness audits

A check of your app against App Store and Google Play guidelines and privacy requirements before you submit.

Rescue & takeover

Stabilise an app that's crashing, stuck in review or abandoned by a previous team, then plan what's next.

FAQ

Common questions

How does a consulting engagement start?

With a free call. We learn what you're building and where you're stuck, then propose a fixed number of hours or a specific deliverable, such as an audit report or an MVP plan.

Can you review code written by another agency?

Yes. Code audits of existing apps are one of our most common requests, and we can sign an NDA first.

Do you only advise, or can you build it too?

Both. Many clients start with consulting and continue with a fixed-scope project or a dedicated team.
