What IT consulting actually covers
IT consulting spans a wide range of decisions — whether to build custom software or buy an existing tool, which infrastructure fits your scale, how to prioritise a growing list of technology problems with limited budget. We advise independently, without a stake in selling you a specific product, so recommendations are based on your actual situation rather than what happens to be profitable for us to sell.
Most valuable when a business faces a decision with real cost consequences either way — the wrong platform choice or a poorly planned infrastructure investment can be expensive and slow to reverse.

Who this is for
Businesses facing a significant technology decision — a platform choice, an infrastructure investment, a build-vs-buy question — who want an independent perspective before committing. Also useful for businesses without in-house technical leadership needing an outside sounding board.
Engagement & pricing
Priced per consulting engagement, scoped to the specific decision or assessment needed, rather than a generic hourly retainer for undefined advice.
One more thing worth knowing
We also follow up a few weeks after delivering a recommendation to see how the decision actually played out, since that feedback sharpens the advice we give on the next engagement.
Frequently asked questions
The recommendation is independent and usable with any provider — if the right answer is a service we offer, we'll say so, but we're equally direct when it isn't.
Build-vs-buy questions, platform or vendor choices, infrastructure investment decisions, or prioritising a backlog of technology problems with limited budget.
Depends on the complexity of the decision — a focused assessment can take one to two weeks; broader technology strategy work takes longer.
No — the recommendation is yours to use however you choose, including with a different provider or your own internal team.
Yes — it's often most valuable for exactly this situation, providing an independent technical perspective a business wouldn't otherwise have access to.
