On The Hook

You have the diagnosis. What you do not have is the person. One name against the architecture decisions, and code in your repository.

£26,000/month
Ongoing, 3-month minimum

Two days a week, three-month minimum. One day a week available at £14,000/month.

The problem it solves

The assessment landed, everyone agreed with it, and nothing happened — because the person who wrote it left and the people who remain have day jobs.

Who buys it: Executive sponsor with CFO awareness, at a company that has already bought a diagnostic.

What lands

  • Two days a week, named and booked, against your architecture decisions.
  • Code in your repository, not advice in a document.
  • One name accountable for the verdict — the person who wrote the assessment is the person still there in November.
  • Written decisions with reasons, so the reasoning survives the engagement.

What this is not

  • Not a full-time hire, and not cover for one. Two days is two days.
  • No line management of your team.
  • No on-call, no incident rota, no production ownership.

Who shouldn't buy it: Teams who need hands to execute a plan they already have. Hire contractors — it is cheaper and it is the right tool.

The guarantee

Cancellable at the end of any month after the minimum term, for any reason, without penalty. Everything built is yours, documented, with a handover runbook maintained throughout rather than written at the end.

Why me

Twenty-four shipped products means the architecture decisions have been made before, in production, in sectors with auditors in them.

Questions people actually ask

What happens if you are unavailable?

Source in escrow, a maintained runbook, and a defined handover. If I disappear you still own everything and can hand it to anyone. That is written into the contract, not promised on a page.

Can we go beyond two days?

Additional days are available, but if you need five you need an employee and I will say so.
