Independent technology partner

Technology decisions you can defend.

Results you can measure.

Due diligence before a deal. Governance when delivery slips. AI execution when speed matters. Senior, independent, technology-agnostic. From France, Romania, and Moldova.

How an engagement actually unfolds.

Every engagement starts with a 60-minute scoping call. Within 5 business days you receive a fixed proposal: phases, deliverables, dates, budget. No discovery-bait, no scope drift.

Decision ownerJoint steering committee

Three triggers we see most often.

Deal closing

A buyer wants technical DD before signing.

For CEOs · CFOs · Board members

Funding round or M&A in motion. Investor or strategic buyer demands proof the tech stack is what you claim. You have 4-8 weeks. The board pack needs an independent signal.

Technical Due Diligence ›

Delivery slipping

My roadmap is drifting. I don't trust the vendor reports.

For CTOs · CIOs · COOs

Inherited stack, opaque delivery, governance gap. Vendor underperformance hidden behind status colors. Structure needs restoring before the board notices the slip.

Governance Audit · Interim CTO ›

AI ROI unclear

We're spending on AI. Where's the return?

For CFOs · COOs · CEOs

AI budget growing faster than results. PoCs everywhere, production nowhere. Procurement asking hard questions. Need clear KPIs and measurable burn, not slide decks.

100%

Senior engineers
no juniors, no body-shop

Four lines we won't cross.

Most consulting traps come from saying yes to everything. We're upfront about what we refuse, so the fit is clear before the first invoice.

Not a body-shop.

We don't sell head-count by the hour. Every engagement is scoped, priced, and accountable for an outcome. Not a billable rate card.

No juniors learning on your dime.

100% senior engineers. Every name on the engagement has shipped production code in regulated EU environments. No pyramid, no shadow team.

No pay-to-discover.

Scoping calls and proposals are not billable. We invest in understanding your situation before quoting. If the fit isn't there, we tell you.

No scope drift, ever.

Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed budget. If requirements change mid-engagement, we re-contract openly. No silent invoice growth.

Before the first call.

How does an engagement start?

Every engagement starts with a 60-minute scoping call. It is free and non-billable. Within 5 business days you receive a fixed proposal: phases, deliverables, dates, and budget. No discovery-bait, no scope drift.

What does it cost?

Entry points: Technical Due Diligence from €6K, Governance Audit from €18K, AI-Accelerated Delivery from €50K, Interim CTO from €10K per month, Governance Retainer from €8K per month. Scope and price are fixed before work starts. Scoping calls and proposals are never billable.

What happens if scope changes mid-engagement?

We re-contract openly. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed budget. If requirements shift, we agree the change with you before doing the work. No silent invoice growth.

How are you different from a big consultancy or a body-shop?

No juniors learning on your dime, no head-count by the hour, no pyramid. 100% senior engineers, each of whom has shipped production code in regulated EU environments. We are accountable for an outcome, not a billable rate card.

Where are you based, and do you work with EU companies?

We deliver from France, Romania, and Moldova, with senior engineers experienced in regulated EU environments. EU-readiness is built in, not a restriction. We work across the EU, the UK, and beyond.

How fast can you deliver a due diligence report?

2 to 6 weeks from kickoff, depending on scope. The board pack gets an independent, risk-scored signal in time for the decision.
