Architectural Turnarounds and Modernizations.
Evolve your MVP or revamp costly legacy system into scalable, modern platforms ready for your future growth.
Technical Due Diligence for M&A and Fundraising.
Provide rapid, objective, data-backed technical health assessments that de-risk investment and acquisition decisions.
AI-Powered Code Analysis and Tech Debt Quantification.
Use proprietary tooling to quantify tech debt, map dependencies, and identify security risks faster than any manual audit.
Scaling Engineering Teams and Processes.
Implement high-velocity development processes and provide senior mentorship to scale your engineering capability.
Step 1: Define scope, prerequisites, deliverables, and execute contracts.
Step 2: Deliver prerequisites (e.g. access to source code, documents, diagrams, systems, etc.).
Step 3: Automated code analysis begins and interviews with key stakeholders are scheduled.
Step 4: Dig deeper into key areas identified by the code analysis and interviews.
Step 5: Synthesize all findings with business objectives to create a custom plan and recommendations.
Step 6: Deliver the Strategic Playbook (summarizing all findings, recommendations, and plans) and debrief stakeholders.
Fixed-Price Outcomes
My methodology is designed for speed and certainty. I blend 20 years of experience with a proprietary AI engine to deliver deep, data-driven insights. A traditional, comprehensive architectural and codebase review can take a team 4-6 weeks to complete and cost upwards of $150K.
I deliver a deeper, data-driven playbook in ~2 weeks for a fixed price, allowing your team to make critical decisions with confidence, weeks ahead of schedule.

Notes:
All prices are in CAD (and may be subject to HST or other taxes where applicable).
Your pricing tier will be determined after a quick assessment of your codebase and organization to ensure a fair value exchange. Many factors can contribute to your tier classification, but as a general guideline:
Small / Startup: < 15 engineers, < 100K LOC and/or a single primary application
Medium / Scale-up: < 50 engineers, < 500K LOC and/or 2+ interconnected services
Large / Enterprise: 50+ engineers, 500K+ LOC and/or a complex microservice architecture
Timelines are subject to all prerequisites being delivered before the engagement begins.
