A map of what you run
Every tool, what it holds, what it costs, and which ones hold the same information twice.

Tech advisory: what to run, and why
Tech advisory means we look at the tools you run, name what is missing, and say what to use and why.
Often the gap is one tool. There is no invoicing tool, or no single place where customer details live, so the work around it is done by hand. We name that gap and recommend something that already exists.
What you get
The gap, named
The missing piece and the manual work it creates, counted in steps and hand-offs.
A recommendation, with reasons
The tool we would put in, what it costs a month, and why that one over the better known one.
The order to do it in
Foundations first, connections second, agents third. Automating on top of the wrong tools is work you throw away.
How a review runs
One call
You walk us through what you run and where the same thing gets typed twice.
We do the homework
We map the tools, price the options at your size, and test the claims against how your team works.
You get it in writing
The map, the gap, the recommendation and the order, written so you can act on it without us.
The ground rules
- What works, staysIf a spreadsheet does the work, the advice is to keep it and connect it.
- We resell nothingNo tool in the recommendation pays us a commission.
- Your team has to run itThe right tool is the one people open without being asked.
- Custom is the exceptionWe recommend building only when nothing off the shelf fits the way you work.
After delivery
The recommendation stands on its own: it names the tools, the monthly cost of each, and the order to do them in.
If you would rather we did the setup, that is quoted as its own project. Anything we then build and run for you sits on our infrastructure, under the subscription.
Pricing
| What | Cost |
|---|---|
| The first conversation: one call, our homework, a written solution and a price | No charge |
| A full review of a larger stack, written up | Quoted per project |
What moves the price: how many tools you run, how many places the same information lives, and whether the review covers one team or the whole business. The number is in the proposal before anything starts.
The numbers, in one place
- The first look is part of free discovery, and a full stack review is quoted per project.
Questions
Questions
Discovery is where it starts, and for most businesses it is enough. We listen on one call, do our homework, and come back with a recommendation and a price. A paid review is for a bigger stack, where mapping it takes days of work.
No. We recommend what fits, including tools we have never been paid to set up. We do not resell any of them, and the reasons are written down so you can check them.
Then we say so, and we say why. That happens when the use case is too specific for anything off the shelf, or the off-the-shelf option is expensive overkill for one task. It is the exception, not the default.
Yes. It is written for that. You get the tool names, what each one costs, and the order to do them in, so you can set it up yourself or hand it to whoever looks after your systems.
