Diagnosis

Capability · Execution

The team has to deliver more than it can. Growing headcount isn't an option.

Professionals and squads embedded in your operation, selected for technical and cultural context, with Tessa staying close throughout. That includes teams that use AI day to day to amplify delivery, unblock the backlog and modernize legacy.

When it makes sense

When does Staff Augmentation make sense?

  • The backlog grows faster than the team can deliver
  • There's legacy to modernize and the current team has no bandwidth for it
  • Capacity has to go up for a period, without swelling permanent headcount
  • The technical direction is clear and what's missing is the hands to execute it

When it doesn't

When is Staff Augmentation the wrong answer?

  • No one is accountable for the technical decisions. More people executing only amplifies the lack of direction
  • There's no CI/CD, no tests, no environments. Adding people to a fragile foundation lowers output per head
  • The scope isn't clear enough for someone from outside to start producing

Method

We start with the context. Not with the role

  1. Understanding

    A real conversation about the problem. The right questions change the diagnosis.

  2. Diagnosis

    Which capability is missing: advice, leadership, expertise or execution.

  3. Composition

    The right format: for what, who, for how long.

  4. Curation and integration

    Selection by context, technical and cultural, plus support at the start of the engagement.

  5. Staying close

    We stay close to the client and to the professional, adjusting the composition as the relationship evolves.

04–05 · once the engagement starts

How it starts

How do the diagnosis and the engagement begin?

Understanding the technical and cultural context first, then curation. We stay with the integration instead of handing it off.
