Diagnosis

Capability · Advice

The CEO is making technology calls alone. Getting the next one wrong is expensive.

Senior advice for critical decisions. Executives who have led technology at scale act as a second opinion on architecture, product and AI direction. A few hours a month, high impact.

When it makes sense

When does Tech Advisory make sense?

  • There's an architecture decision to make before a significant investment
  • Pressure to adopt AI is mounting and no one is setting the direction
  • The founder makes technology decisions with no technical peer to check them
  • There's a team delivering, but no one is accountable for the decisions

When it doesn't

When is Tech Advisory the wrong answer?

  • The roadmap has a public date and there's no one to build it. Advice alone won't hit it
  • The bottleneck is productivity: no CI/CD, no tests, no environments. Foundations come before advice
  • The decision is already made and what you're looking for is validation to justify it

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.

How it starts

How do the diagnosis and the engagement begin?

A diagnostic conversation. If another model is the better fit, we say so, and we tell you which one.
