It’s a structured 4-week engagement. We begin with a kickoff meeting to understand your goals and current challenges. Then we conduct a thorough assessment (interviewing team members, reviewing code and workflows, analyzing metrics). In Weeks 2–3, we develop and implement improvements in key areas (for example, setting up new testing frameworks or streamlining your deployment process). Week 4 focuses on final adjustments and delivering a comprehensive action plan. Throughout the process, we keep you updated with regular check-ins so there are no surprises.

Absolutely. Every consultation is tailored to your specific situation. We target the areas that will yield the most benefit for your team and product. For instance, if you’re mainly worried about release speed and reliability, we’ll focus on DevOps, CI/CD, and QA. If your priority is incorporating data analytics or AI, we’ll bring those competencies to the forefront. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice, the strategies and solutions we provide will align with your industry, tech stack, team size, and objectives.

We make sure it doesn’t. Our consultants work with your team’s schedule, not against it. Most of our discovery and implementation work can happen in parallel with your day-to-day development. We might sit in on existing meetings or pair with team members, but we won’t create endless new meetings that derail productivity. In fact, many recommendations (like automation or clearer workflows) are designed to reduce your team’s burden, so any minor time investment during the consult pays off in efficiency gains almost immediately. We aim to integrate smoothly and be a helping hand, not a hindrance.

During the consult, we implement as much as feasible within the timeframe (quick wins, pilot solutions, process changes, etc.). After we present the final roadmap, it’s up to you how to proceed. Some clients take our plan and run with it on their own. Others prefer to continue tapping into our expertise. We offer ongoing support if needed, whether that means additional consulting sessions, training your team on new tools, or even engaging our other services (like augmenting your team with skilled engineers or managing a longer-term project). The bottom line: we won’t leave you hanging, but there’s no obligation beyond the initial engagement.

Sometimes an outside perspective is exactly what a team needs. It’s easy to become blind to issues or get stuck in "how we’ve always done things." Consultants bring specialized expertise and a fresh set of eyes to identify improvements that in-house staff might overlook.

In fact, over half of businesses hire consultants specifically to gain an unbiased viewpoint and specialized knowledge.

By leveraging our experience (gleaned from many companies and projects), you avoid the trial-and-error and wasted time of figuring everything out yourself. We can typically accelerate solutions in a few weeks that might take a stretched internal team months or more to achieve, all while your team continues focusing on day-to-day product work.
