01 · The problem

Sound familiar?

These are the sentences I hear most often on a first call. If one of them is yours, you're in the right place.

I can't verify what my dev team or agency tells me.

You're paying for trust you can't check. I read the work, not the status report, and tell you plainly what's true.

I need a clear technical picture before a big decision.

You get an independent view of what's there, what's risky and what it will cost — in plain language you can act on or share.

I don't know if AI is hype or something I should actually use.

Usually two or three jobs in your business are worth automating. The rest is noise. I help you tell them apart.

Development is slow and I don't know why.

Slow is a symptom. In two weeks you'll know the cause, the cost of it, and the three changes that fix most of it.

How I can help

Pick the one that matches where you are. Not sure? The free audit tells us both.

01 Before you build

Idea Validation

Outcome: know whether it can be built, how, and what it will realistically take — before you pay for development.

I review your idea the way a CTO does before committing a team, and turn it into a technical plan you can act on.

  • Feasibility and key risks
  • Requirements, architecture and tech stack
  • An estimate you can compare quotes against
from €200

02 Existing product or team

Product & Team Audit

Outcome: know what's really going on in your product and team, and what to fix first.

An independent review of the code, the architecture and how the team delivers — written in plain language, with the risks ranked.

  • Architecture and code review
  • Performance, security review and team process
  • A prioritised plan of fixes with estimates
from €250

03 Deciding on AI

AI Roadmap

Outcome: know which AI use cases pay off in your business, and which are noise.

I look at your processes and product and give a clear call on each AI opportunity: build it, buy it, or skip it.

  • Where AI fits in your processes and product
  • Build, buy or skip — for each use case
  • An implementation plan with effort and cost
from €250

03 · Process

How it works

Three steps. You can stop after the second one and still be better off.

A free audit call

45 minutes. You tell me what worries you. I ask the questions an independent reviewer would ask. Nothing to prepare.

A clear next step

On the call or right after it, you get my recommendation: which service fits, what it would cost — or that you don't need me at all.

We work together — or we don't

Ongoing support, a one-off project, or you take the plan to your own team. All three are fine by me.

The audit is free — and useful even if we never work together.
