Solution architecture

Get the plan right before you pay for the build.

You are about to spend real money on a build. A few days of independent technical thinking now can save you from choosing the wrong stack, platform or integration approach.

The problem

Build teams usually recommend the tools they already use. That is not always wrong, but it is not independent, and it is hard to judge a proposal without a technical view of your own.

We look at what you need to build and the systems it must connect to, then give you a clear recommendation and a one-page plan. We have no stake in which team builds it.

Sound familiar?

  • You are choosing between platforms, frameworks or a no-code tool.
  • You need to know how a new system will connect to your existing ones.
  • You have quotes from build teams and want an independent read of them.
  • Your current setup has grown messy and you want a clear map of it.

What you get

  • A short working session to understand goals, constraints and existing systems
  • A recommended stack with the reasons and trade-offs
  • An integration map showing systems, data flows and ownership
  • A one-page plan you can hand to any build team for quoting

What this isn’t

  • Long discovery or strategy programmes
  • Enterprise architecture or vendor procurement
  • Recommendations tied to a referral fee

Price

From $900. Most architecture reviews land between $900 and $2,500.

How the job runs

  1. 01

    Describe what is stuck

    Answer a few questions in the scoping agent. It takes about three minutes and turns your answers into a plain-English brief.

  2. 02

    Get a straight answer

    Within one business day, a developer replies with a fixed price, a paid diagnostic, one question, or an honest “not us” and a referral.

  3. 03

    We fix it

    Work starts when you approve. You get the fix, a short note on what changed and the access handed back.

Scoping agent

Tell us what’s stuck.

Two minutes of guided questions. You get a plain-English brief, and a developer replies within one business day.

  • Guided questions, not an AI chatbot
  • A person reviews every brief
  • Never asks for passwords or keys

Questions

Will you then quote to build it?

If it fits our size of job, we can. If not, the plan is written so any team can quote from it, and we can suggest some.

How is this different from digital strategy?

This is about how to build one thing well. Digital strategy is a short audit of your current setup and what to fix first.

Is a one-page plan really enough?

For small and mid-sized projects, usually yes. If it is not, that is a sign the project is bigger than it looked, which is worth knowing early.
