Strategy andtechnical architecture

Diagnostic work before any code gets written.

09 of 17What gets built. Custom systems, designed around how your business actually runs.

01. What it is

What strategy and technical architecture means here

Strategy and technical architecture engagements are paid diagnostics. Two to four weeks of structured work that maps the operating gap, the current stack, the constraints, and the build that should actually happen.

The output is a written possibility document the client can act on, build from, or take to another firm.

The layers,pulled apart

  1. 01

    Plan

    A sequenced roadmap tied to outcomes, not features.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    The system map: services, data flows and boundaries.

  3. 03

    Constraints

    Budget, compliance and team capacity, named up front.

Assembled, it can be built.

04. Questions

What people askfirst

No. The diagnostic is a paid engagement with a written deliverable. About half the time we recommend a build with us afterward; the other half we recommend a different shape of work, a different vendor, or no work at all.

A document. Usually 15 to 40 pages depending on scope. Architecture diagrams, sequencing, options, and a recommendation. The client owns it.

Yes. Most do. If it does, the diagnostic fee gets credited against the build engagement.

Then you probably don't need this. Diagnostic engagements are for when the diagnosis itself is the unclear part.
