Audits and planning

Know what to build, and what it will cost, before you spend real money.

Fixed fee audits, build vs buy calls, prototypes, and technical due diligence. Each one ends with a written plan you keep, whether or not you hire us to build.

The problem

Sound familiar?

Vendors are pitching, and nobody senior is on your side

Every answer comes from someone selling something.

You are not sure whether to buy or build

The wrong call costs a year and a budget.

AI is everywhere, and you do not know where it fits

You want the parts that save time, not a science project.

You are buying a company or investing in one

You need to know what the software is really worth and what it will cost to own.

    A working session where we go through the plan and your options. The plan is yours to keep.

Questions

Common questions

Why pay for an audit instead of a free sales call?

A free call gets you a pitch. An audit gets you a written plan with costs, built by the engineer who would stand behind the build. You can take it to anyone.

Is the fee credited?

Yes. Audit and sprint fees are credited toward any build that follows within 90 days.

How much of our time does it take?

Usually two to four hours of your team's time across one or two weeks, mostly short screen shares.
