Software Consulting Services for Technical Decisions Before You Commit Budget
An outside technical read before you commit budget to an architecture, a vendor, or a decision that's expensive to reverse. Diagnosis-only engagements available — no requirement to hire us for the build afterward.

What Software Consulting Covers
Architecture Review
An outside technical opinion on a proposed or existing architecture before it's too expensive to change.
Vendor & Proposal Evaluation
An honest read on another vendor's proposal — scope, pricing, and technical soundness — before you sign.
Technical Due Diligence
A written audit of an existing codebase or system, common ahead of an acquisition or major investment decision.
Build-vs-Buy Analysis
A structured comparison of building custom versus configuring an existing tool for your specific case.
Built for Specific Buyers, Not Everyone
Non-Technical Founders Evaluating a Vendor
Got a proposal and need someone technical on their side before signing a contract.
Investors Needing Technical Due Diligence
Evaluating a target company's codebase or technical team before a deal closes.
CTOs Facing a Hard-to-Reverse Decision
An architecture or platform choice that's expensive to undo once made.
If you already know exactly what you need built and just need a builder, skip straight to a scoping call for the relevant build service instead.

Common Questions About Software Consulting
Is software consulting just a sales pitch for your development services?
No — consulting engagements are scoped and priced as diagnosis-only. Some clients move into a build engagement afterward and many don't; the recommendation stands on its own either way.
Can you review a technical proposal from another vendor?
Yes — this is a common use case. We'll give you an honest technical read on scope, architecture, and pricing reasonableness before you sign anything.
What areas do you consult on?
Architecture decisions, vendor and proposal evaluation, build-vs-buy analysis, and technical due diligence — scoped to whatever specific decision you're facing.
How is this different from your Web Consulting Services page?
Web Consulting focuses specifically on web platform and vendor decisions; Software Consulting covers the broader range including backend architecture, infrastructure, and non-web technical strategy.
How long does a consulting engagement take?
A focused architecture or vendor review typically takes 1-2 weeks; a full technical audit of an existing codebase can run 3-4 weeks depending on size.
