Advice from someone who doesn't earn a commission on the answer. Most stack advice comes from people selling implementation hours or reseller margins. We don't resell software and we don't take referral fees — so when we recommend a platform, a migration, or doing nothing at all, it's because it's the right call for your revenue engine.
You're in the right place if
The stack grew by accident Tools were bought by different people for different reasons. Now you pay for four things that do overlapping jobs.
A big platform decision looms CDP or no CDP? Consolidate on one suite or stay best-of-breed? The vendors all have confident, conflicting answers.
The demo didn't match reality You bought the promise, got the product, and now sunk cost is doing the arguing in renewal meetings.
Scope
What we take off your plate. Stack strategy Architecture recommendations grounded in your growth stage, team size, and motion — not the analyst quadrant.
Vendor selection Requirements definition, shortlisting, demo scripts with your real use cases, and negotiation support.
Build-vs-buy analysis Honest math on custom builds versus platform features versus point tools, including maintenance cost.
Migration planning Sequencing, data mapping, parallel-run strategy, and risk register for platform moves — before anyone touches production.
Consolidation roadmaps Which overlapping tools to keep, kill, or merge — with the savings quantified for the renewal conversation.
Fractional advisory A standing senior voice in your stack decisions: office hours, roadmap reviews, and vendor-meeting backup.
Engagement
Two ways to work with us. Project
Fixed-scope build A defined piece of work with a start, an end, and a handover. Best for migrations, rebuilds, and audits.
→ Scoped and quoted after the stack audit→ Milestone-based delivery→ Documentation included in scopeOngoing · most common
Embedded ops partner A monthly retainer where we operate as part of your team — running the machine and improving it as we go.
→ Fixed monthly capacity, flexible priorities→ Inside your Slack and sprint cadence→ Monthly stack health reviewDeliverables
