Six practices, one delivery team.
Our scope is deliberately focused. Every engagement draws on two or three of these practices concurrently; the distinction between them is internal to our organisation, not a constraint imposed on yours.
We are technology-agnostic. The stacks listed under each practice indicate established in-house experience; they are not exhaustive, and we routinely engage with adjacent languages, frameworks, and platforms where the requirement calls for them.
What we deliver
- Bespoke web applications and administrative tools. Modelled on the documented operating procedures of your team, rather than generic CRUD patterns.
- Custom modules built on platforms you already operate. Odoo, D365, Shopify, and any other systems extended to fit your processes, rather than forcing your processes to fit the software.
- Backend services and APIs. Defined contracts, observability, audit trails, retry logic, and a documented operational handover.
- Programme recovery engagements. Resuming partially completed projects from a previous delivery partner while preserving the existing investment where viable.
What we build with
- TypeScript / Next.js / React
- Node.js · .NET · Python
- Azure · AKS · Functions
- PostgreSQL · SQL Server
- Odoo / D365 / Shopify modules
Typical engagement
8–24 weeks · fixed-fee discovery + T&M build with a not-to-exceed.
What we deliver
- Production web applications. Next.js and React engineered with a focus on Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and real-world performance.
- Mobile experiences. React Native for cross-platform delivery; native iOS and Android where the use case requires platform-specific capability.
- Customer portals, member applications, multi-tenant SaaS, and internal tools. Engineered to operate reliably with real users, real data volumes, and variable bandwidth conditions.
- Performance and resilience treated as product features. Measured against production telemetry rather than against a controlled demonstration environment.
What we build with
- Next.js · React · TypeScript
- React Native · Expo
- Vercel · Azure
- Tailwind · shadcn/ui
- PWAs · service workers
Typical engagement
6–20 weeks · phased rollout · soft launch followed by general availability · production-grade by week 8.
What we deliver
- Production-grade cloud landing zones. Azure primarily, with equivalent delivery on AWS or GCP where the requirement calls for it. Codified in Terraform across networking, identity, security, and monitoring, with every change reviewable through version control.
- Kubernetes workloads. AKS, EKS, or GKE depending on your platform. Autoscaling, observability, and disaster recovery designed in from the initial deployment.
- CI/CD pipelines engineered for safe delivery. Appropriate quality gates, automated testing, and a documented rollback procedure for incident response.
- Hardened security posture. Conditional access, network segmentation, secrets management, and audit trails that meet formal audit requirements.
What we build with
- Azure · AKS · App Service
- Terraform · Bicep
- GitHub Actions · Azure DevOps
- Kong · Service Bus · Kafka
- Entra ID · SCIM · OIDC
Typical engagement
8–16 weeks · landing zone, initial workload, and operational handover with runbooks.
What we deliver
- Discovery grounded in observed user behaviour. Conducted through structured sessions with the individuals who will operate the system, rather than through opinion-led workshops.
- Information architecture, interaction design, and visual systems. Mapped to documented user workflows rather than generic interface patterns.
- Component libraries and design tokens. Engineered to remain coherent through engineering handover and twelve months of iteration without degradation.
- Accessibility (WCAG AA) addressed from the first frame. Implemented during design rather than retrofitted at sign-off, where remediation cost is materially higher.
What we build with
- Figma + design tokens
- Storybook · component libraries
- Tailwind · shadcn/ui
- WCAG AA / AAA
- Usability testing protocols
Typical engagement
4–10 weeks · research, design, prototype, and an engineering-ready handover package.
Bronze, silver, gold — in plain English
Source data captured as-is, retained as immutable, with complete lineage. No transformations and no editorial judgement applied at this layer.
Conformed dimensions, deduplicated records, and joins to a centralised identity model. Data quality gates are applied at this stage.
Curated data marts, certified by the business owner, prepared for use by finance, operations, business intelligence tools, and AI applications.
What we deliver
- Cloud data platforms on Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or comparable platforms. Bronze, silver, and gold layers, fully governed and certified.
- Operational AI capabilities. Scoring, ranking, classification, and retrieval-augmented assistants delivered for internal teams in production, rather than as proof-of-concept demonstrations.
- Automation workflows. Convert operational signals into automated actions, closing the loop rather than describing prior outcomes.
- Trusted reporting on a governed gold layer. Power BI, Tableau, or Looker deliverables that finance certifies and trusts on first review.
What we build with
- Microsoft Fabric · Databricks
- Synapse · Azure SQL
- Power BI
- Azure OpenAI · LangChain
- Python · dbt
Typical engagement
10–24 weeks · first gold dataset delivered by week 8 · iterative AI use cases delivered on the certified data layer.
When clients call us
- Vendor selection. An independent shortlist, weighted scoring against documented criteria, and reference calls conducted directly by our consultants.
- Target-state architecture. A defined target position over a 24-month horizon, and the minimal set of decisions required to reach it.
- Technical due diligence. An independent second opinion on a system or delivery partner, presented in language suitable for a non-technical board.
- Programme rescue. Independent review of a stalled programme — identifying what to retain, what to discontinue, and what to rebuild.
What you walk away with
- Decision document
- Target diagrams
- Phased roadmap
- Risk register
- Cost model
Typical engagement
3–8 weeks · fixed-fee · all artefacts produced in plain language with an executive summary.
Uncertain which practice applies to your situation?
Most engagements span two or three practices. Describe the symptom you are observing and we will work backwards from there.
