how we work

Plainly first, then properly.

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute readiness call and a fixed-scope first step. What follows is built to pass the scrutiny you sell against, and run so it stays that way.

how an engagement runs
  1. 01

    Tell you plainly.

    A free 30-minute readiness call. We tell you what you need, roughly what it costs, and whether you need us yet. Sometimes the answer is not yet.

  2. 02

    Assess before we build.

    A fixed-scope assessment or architecture review. Low risk, quick to buy, and credited against the programme if you go ahead.

  3. 03

    Build to pass scrutiny.

    Landing zones and platforms built against the standards you sell on, with backups verified and rollback rehearsed before anything moves.

  4. 04

    Run it and keep it tight.

    A monthly cost and posture review, so what we built stays secure, affordable and ready for the next audit.

how we work

Honest by design.

We prepare. We never certify.

Readiness is done by practitioners. The certificate is always issued by an accredited independent body, so the result stands up.

Scoped before quoted.

No number until we have seen the estate. Every engagement is scoped on a call first, then priced in GBP, USD, EUR or your currency.

Rollback before cutover.

Client-verified backups and a rehearsed rollback are a gate before any migration. Data loss is the risk we design against first.

Senior people, every time.

The people on the readiness call are the people doing the work. A small team led by the founder, remote by default, on site where it matters.

engagement models

Scoped first. Then priced.

There is no public rate card. Every engagement is scoped on the call, then quoted in GBP, USD, EUR or your local currency in one of these shapes.

smes / charities / startups

Fixed-fee packages

Assessments, audits, landing zones and certification readiness are scoped on the call and quoted as a fixed fee. You know the number before you say yes, and assessment fees are credited against the programme that follows.

ongoing

Monthly retainers

Managed cloud and FinOps, hosting and care, vCISO. A monthly review with the changes made, not just reported, and a report you can forward to your board or compliance lead.

mid-market / enterprise

Fixed-price phases

Larger programmes are broken into phases, each with its own scope, price and acceptance criteria, so procurement can approve one step at a time.

as needed

Senior architect days

For design reviews, vendor selection, difficult integrations or a second opinion on a proposal from a larger supplier. Day rate, scoped in advance.

who we serve

Any size. Same standard.

Organisations in the UK and internationally that need to move to the cloud, adopt AI properly or run a secure web platform. Every engagement is sold direct and delivered by a senior team led by the founder, delivered remotely by default and on site where the work needs it.

smes / charities / startups

Fixed fees, no surprises.

You get a senior architect without a senior architect's payroll, and a number you can take to the board.
