Services
Six proposed areas of consulting work.
Each description below sets out the purpose of the work, its typical scope and the deliverables it could produce. These are proposed service descriptions and require confirmation by the company owner before any engagement.
No pricing, guarantees, performance figures or credentials are published on this page.
IT Strategy and Advisory
To connect technology decisions to business priorities, so that investment, sequencing and risk are discussed in the same conversation rather than separately.
Typical scope
- Review of the current technology estate against stated business objectives
- Identification of constraints, dependencies and single points of failure
- Option framing with explicit trade-offs, including the option of doing nothing
- Roadmap sequencing and review checkpoints
Possible deliverables
- Written strategy note with findings and assumptions
- Prioritised initiative list with reasoning
- Sequenced roadmap outline
- Decision record for the choices made during the engagement
Custom Software Engineering
To design and build applications that solve a specific business problem and remain economical to change once the original authors have moved on.
Typical scope
- Requirements clarification and domain modelling
- Architecture and interface design
- Implementation, code review and automated testing
- Release process and deployment practice
Possible deliverables
- Working software in a version-controlled repository
- Architecture and data model documentation
- Automated test suite describing intended behaviour
- Handover notes covering operation and known limitations
Cloud and Infrastructure Consulting
To bring operational clarity to the environments that applications run in, and to make reliability and cost visible rather than assumed.
Typical scope
- Environment structure, separation and access review
- Deployment, rollback and recovery paths
- Capacity and cost assumptions written down and tested
- Monitoring, alerting and on-call practicalities
Possible deliverables
- Infrastructure overview diagram and written description

Systems Integration
To make business systems exchange data predictably, with contracts that are documented and failures that are visible.

- Definition of the source of truth for each business entity
- Interface and contract design, including error semantics
- Phased integration planning to avoid disruptive cut-overs
Possible deliverables
- Data flow map across the systems in scope

Cybersecurity Consulting
To advise on the engineering practices that reduce avoidable exposure. This is advisory work; no certification, audit or accreditation is offered or claimed.
Typical scope
- Access control and privilege review
- Secret and credential handling in code and pipelines
- Dependency currency and supply-chain hygiene
- Logging, traceability and data minimisation practice
Possible deliverables
- Findings note with severity and reasoning
- Prioritised remediation list for engineering teams
- Recommended practices for ongoing hygiene
- Review checklist for future changes
Technical Assessment and Modernisation
To examine an existing system honestly and describe what should be kept, what should be improved, and what should be replaced — and in which order.
Typical scope
- Code, architecture and infrastructure review
- Assessment of change cost and operational burden
- Separation of genuinely constraining systems from merely old ones
- Modernisation route that keeps the business operating throughout
Possible deliverables
- Assessment report with evidence for each finding
- Keep / improve / replace classification
- Phased modernisation plan with checkpoints
- Risk register for the proposed route
The services above describe how work could be structured. Actual scope, deliverables and working arrangements would be agreed individually and confirmed by the company owner.
