DevOps consulting

Short engagements against a specific question — an architecture review, a second opinion on a plan, or an assessment before you commit a budget.

You need an answer, not a supplier

Sometimes the requirement is not a project. A decision is pending, the team is split, and the cost of being wrong is larger than the cost of an outside opinion — but every enquiry turns into a proposal for a six-month engagement.

What we do

Architecture and design reviews with the findings written down, including the ones that say the current plan is fine.
Second opinions on a proposal, a vendor choice or an estimate, delivered against the specific question asked.
Pre-commitment assessments: what this will actually take, before the budget is approved rather than after.
Incident post-mortems facilitated by someone with no stake in the conclusion.
Short mentoring engagements where the goal is that you stop needing us.

How the work goes

01

Scope the question

A call to establish what is actually being decided. If the answer is that you do not need us, that call is where you find out.

02

Work

A fixed window — typically days, not months — with the access needed and the question agreed in writing.

03

Answer

A written response with reasoning and the alternatives considered, and a walkthrough with whoever has to act on it.

What you get

  • A written answer to the question as asked
  • The reasoning and the options rejected, so the decision can be revisited later

A good fit when

  • A pending decision where an outside view is cheaper than being wrong
  • Teams who want a specific answer rather than an engagement

Not us, and we will say so

  • Reviews commissioned to support a conclusion that has already been reached

Tell us what you are running.

A first call is a conversation. If this is not the service you need, we will point you at the one that is — or tell you that you do not need us yet.
