What I do.
Depending on the stage you're at and the situation in front of you, I work in three formats. One is a fast audit. One is a full product Discovery. One is longer, ongoing support for a project that's lost momentum.
Audit
from $1,000 · 5-14 days
An independent read on a a prototype you built yourself, a contractor proposal on your desk, or an AI feature that stopped working. Before you commit more capital — a structured review.
Best fit: you've built something in Cursor/Lovable/v0 and aren't sure it holds up. Or you have 3 contractor proposals and need an honest pick.

from $4,000 · 2-8 weeks
Discovery for founders: from idea to a complete product brief, realistic budget, and shortlist of the right contractors.
Best fit: you have an idea and industry knowledge, but don't know where to start, what it'll cost, or who should build it.
Learn moreRecovery
from $2,500/month · monthly
Project lost momentum, contractor unresponsive, budget draining without visible progress. Structured recovery with a clear plan for what comes next.
Best fit: you've got a project in flight but delivery has slowed and the reasons aren't clear. Or contractor relationships need a reset.

I see the hidden risks in your IT projects and turn complexity into confident decisions — from the first idea to a working result.
How to choose
Three typical questions — and which format answers them.
"I have a working prototype — is it worth building on?"
→ Audit. An honest read of what you've built, and a clear path to production.
"I have an idea and industry knowledge, but don't know where to begin or what it'll cost."
→ Discovery. From idea to a complete brief, budget estimate, and shortlist of the right teams.
"My project is in flight, but velocity dropped and I don't understand why."
→ Recovery. A structured read of the situation and a return to course.
Not sure which format fits? A 30-minute a short call — we figure it out together. If I'm not the right read, I'll say so and point you toward someone better.
