Three ways to engage Pick the shape that fits.
Assessment when you need the answer in writing. Embedded squad when
the constraint is delivery capacity. Retained run when you need the arc
to keep going after go-live.
Assessment
Fixed fee A principal architect goes deep on your platform, delivery and cost, then writes down what they found.
Fits when You suspect something is wrong and want it named before you spend.
Embedded squad
Fixed monthly Two to five principals inside your team, shipping against your roadmap with your tooling and your standards.
Fits when The work is understood and the constraint is delivery capacity.
Retained run
Fixed monthly We operate what we built - on-call, SLOs, cost and change - alongside your engineers.
Fits when You need the arc to continue rather than end at go-live.
