The short version
Most buyers lose money before the build starts
They write an RFP that invites the wrong bids, budget for a version-one that is really a version-three, or pick an architecture that costs three times as much to run at year two.
None of that requires a vendor to fix. It requires information — the kind agencies usually hold back until you are in a proposal conversation.
So we publish it: what projects like yours actually cost, how long they actually take, what to demand in a contract and how to model payback before you commit.
How we operate
Six commitments that shape every engagement
RFP templates
A structured RFP that gets comparable bids instead of six proposals you cannot line up side by side.
ROI models
Spreadsheets to model payback from labour saved, leakage stopped and revenue recovered.
Vendor evaluation
The questions that expose weak delivery: team composition, IP terms, exit plan and support SLAs.
Architecture checklists
Integration, scale and data-residency decisions to settle before development, not after.
Go-live playbooks
Migration, training and hypercare plans that stop launch week becoming a crisis.
