01

The problem this solves

An hour settles a real architecture problem so long as the reading happens first. Send diagrams, a written summary or read access to the code, and we go through it beforehand. The hour then belongs to the decision in front of you: breaking up a monolith, approaching a scaling ceiling, judging a platform under evaluation. The recording is yours, along with notes carrying a recommendation.

02

What you receive

  1. Sixty minutes of video call alongside a senior engineer, recorded for you to keep
  2. Time spent beforehand going through the material you sent
  3. Notes carrying a recommendation and the argument supporting it
  4. Each option we weighed, with its trade-off stated
  5. Next steps proposed, with effort ranges attached
  6. One further round of written questions answered after the call

03

What changes afterwards

Architectural seniority without adding a senior salary

A recommendation in writing that can circulate internally

Trade-offs made plain while the decision is still cheap to change

04

Is it the right fit?

Ideal for

  • Teams taking a large architectural decision without a senior voice present
  • Founders weighing whether to build something or buy it
  • Engineering leads wanting their plan tested before they commit

What we need from you

  • Any documentation there is, and read access to code where it matters
  • A plain statement of the decision you have to take
  • The right people present, the decision-maker among them

05

Before you buy

Yes. It is in Indian rupees with 18% GST included, and it is exactly what you pay at checkout. Nothing is added afterwards for the scope listed on this page.

The working days are counted from the day we hold your payment, the completed brief and everything listed under “What we need from you”. If an input arrives late, the handover date moves by the same number of days.

Ask before you buy. We will confirm in writing whether it sits inside this scope, point you to a better-fitting service, or tell you it needs separate work.

On full payment, the code, configuration, designs and documents produced for this service belong to your organisation, as set out in our Terms.

Each unit repeats the listed scope once. It does not stretch a single unit to cover more.
