Alongside a product build
You are building the product. The platform underneath it is not your team’s job.
An agency delivering an application often inherits the cloud account it runs in, and the unloved parts — accounts, identity, networking, pipelines, backups — land on whoever is nearest. We take that layer as a defined workstream, in the client’s repositories, so your engineers stay on what you were hired for.
Typically: environments, deployment path, access boundaries, observability, handover
Behind a fractional CTO
You have diagnosed it. You need senior hands, not another opinion.
A fractional or interim CTO may already know what the estate needs and have no capacity to build it. We deliver against your plan rather than re-running the diagnosis, and we are content for the recommendation to stay yours — including when it is to do less than we would be paid for.
Typically: a named workstream from your own backlog, with your acceptance criteria
Beside another consultancy
The engagement needs a specialism that is not what you sell.
Data, security, product and application consultancies all hit the same boundary: the cloud platform the work has to land on. We take that piece, scoped in writing, and we do not sell around it into the rest of your account. If the client later asks us about work that is plainly yours, we say so.
Typically: landing zone, IaC adoption, delivery pipeline, recovery
