Clarity · Value · Evidence
We give owners evidence-based clarity on the software an outside team built for them — what you own, where you depend on vendors, and whether you’re getting the value you paid for.
Do you own it?
You paid to build it. We show you what you control, where you depend on vendors, whether you’re getting the value you paid for, and what to fix first.
Start from your situation
Pick the one that sounds like you.
You pay every invoice, but the things that let you build, deploy and recover can quietly sit under the agency’s control. Renewal becomes a conversation you can’t win.
An offshore or outsourced team can deliver fast, but access, documentation and know-how concentrate off-site — and billed rarely equals delivered.
When a contractor or former employee built it, the system often lives in their head. No documentation survives their exit, and every change is a risk.
What you get
Evidence, not opinion — the value of your spend made visible. Counts and pass/fail checks you can reproduce yourself, written for a board.
Two pages, plain English — the recommendation your board can act on.
18 pass/fail checks: can you build, deploy and recover without the vendor?
Ten domains, every finding cited to the evidence.
What to fix first, in order of risk and cost.
What leaving your vendor would actually take.
Billed vs. delivered — what you paid for against what exists.
A 30-second read
Tick the ones you can honestly say yes to. The read updates as you go.
Tick the statements that are true for you.
From hunch to evidence to a clear decision — that’s the review.
How it works
You give read access. We do the rest without disrupting your team — your developers don’t even need to know.
A short call to understand the software and agree what we assess.
Read-only access to the code, cloud, and delivery record.
Ten domains, 18 independence checks, billed-vs-delivered.
The brief, the evidence, and one clear recommendation.
Proof · one review
Software the company could build, deploy and recover without the vendor.
We proved how little they truly controlled, then helped their own team take over — with no interruption to a live regulated service. Scroll to watch the recovery.
Who’s behind it
15+ years across software delivery, engineering leadership, and investment — from early-stage startups to large software organisations, and across both internal teams and outsourced, offshore developers.
That mix is why our reviews come back as money and months — clear enough to act on, not a list of technical complaints.
“Most of the teams I look at are capable. The problem is usually the process around them, not the people in it.”
Placeholder — real name, photo and background to be added.
The engagement
You give read access; we do the rest without disrupting your team — and hand back clarity you can act on.
Independent · Fixed fee, not contingent on findings · We never sell you the fix
