When you need it
You face a decision that is expensive to get wrong, such as a landing zone design, an identity model or how to let AI agents near production. You want a senior second opinion before you commit budget or people.
What sets the quote
- One question or one system per call.
- Up to 20 pages of diagrams and documents, or one repository, shared at least two working days before the session.
- Up to six people from your side in the session.
- Broader reviews are quoted as an assessment, for example a cloud foundation check.
What changes
- You get a clear answer to one hard question, with the reasoning behind it.
- You know the realistic options, their trade-offs and the risks of each.
- You know whether you need more help, and if so, what kind.
What you get
- Review of the material you share before the session
- A 90-minute video session with a senior architect
- A written memo within three working days: the recommendation, the options, their trade-offs and the risks
- Concrete next steps, with a suggested scope if follow-on work makes sense
The free 30-minute call is for checking fit and agreeing scope. The architecture call is a working session: a senior architect prepares from your material, works through the options with your team and puts the recommendation in writing.
Not included
- Hands-on changes to your systems or code
- Detailed designs, diagrams or estimates beyond the memo (quoted as follow-on work)
- Follow-up sessions (each is quoted as a new architecture call)
What we need from you
- The question in writing, plus any diagrams, documents or code, at least two working days before the session.
- The people who will make the decision, in the session.
- Read access to one repository, if code is part of the question.
