[06] PRACTICE
Counsel.
Consultations and architecture reviews.
Sometimes you do not need a vendor. You need an honest reading of where you are. Counsel is short, surgical, and written down — a memo you can hand to your board, your engineers, or your future self.
What is in
the box.
- 01
A two-week deep read of the codebase, the roadmap, and the team's working agreements.
- 02
Live conversations with your engineers — we listen more than we lecture.
- 03
A written memo: what is sound, what is rotting, what to fix this quarter, what to leave alone.
- 04
An optional follow-up review, ninety days later, to see what stuck.
Who this
is for.
- You are about to raise, sell, or merge, and the technical story matters.
- You inherited a codebase and need to know what you actually own.
- Your team is debating an architecture call and you want a referee, not a vendor pitch.
- RFPs, scorecards, or 80-page consulting decks. The deliverable is a memo.
- Implementation. If you want us to do the work after, that is a separate commission.

Counsel
from $1,000
Includes the memo, two presentations, and a 90-day follow-up read.
Figures are starting estimates, not quotes — final scope, taxes, and any third-party costs adjust the number. Every commission begins with a 30-minute conversation; we put a firm quote in writing within two working days.
