Make consequential platform decisions with less risk

Platform Architecture Review

Get an independent review before committing to a rebuild, migration, vendor, or new system.

Best fit: A team needs independent technical judgment before committing more budget to a platform decision.

Includes

• •Discussions with decision-makers and the people who operate the system
• •A review of the relevant design, code, infrastructure, and movement of data
• •An assessment of what could fail and how it would affect the business
• •Prioritized written findings and follow-up review

Outcome: A clear recommendation to stabilize, migrate, build, buy, phase, or stop.

Commerce Integration Audit

Find why orders, payments, or other records go missing, appear twice, or disagree across systems. Identify who owns each fix and how to recover safely.

Best fit: Orders, payments, fulfillment, inventory, loyalty, finance, or internal systems disagree or fail between boundaries.

Includes

• •A map of the workflow, systems, and responsibilities at each handoff
• •A check of which system owns each record and how records match across systems
• •A review of missing and duplicate records, data checks, and safe ways to retry failed work
• •A written plan showing which problems to fix first and how operators will detect failures

Outcome: A practical plan to prevent repeated failures, expose disagreements between systems, and help operators recover safely.

Controlled AI Workflow Assessment

Determine whether a workflow is valuable, safe, and technically viable before building it.

Best fit: A repeated workflow is consuming time, but the business case, controls, or implementation path is not yet clear.

Includes

• •A map of the workflow and where repeated work or delays occur
• •A review of the data, access permissions, and systems the workflow needs
• •A plan for human review and for handling missing, incorrect, or failed results
• •A written recommendation: test a pilot, use a product, redesign the workflow, wait, or stop

Outcome: An evidence-based recommendation to automate, redesign, defer, use an existing product, or run a bounded pilot.

AI Automation Pilot

Implement one validated, measurable AI workflow with production controls and a clear handoff.

Best fit: The workflow, owner, examples, success criteria, and review path are already defined.

Includes

• •A design for one agreed workflow and its connections to existing systems
• •Checks on the proposed data before a person approves the next action
• •Access controls, a record of actions, and a way to handle failures
• •Deployment, documentation, and handoff

Outcome: One production-ready workflow pilot connected to the client’s existing systems.

Fractional Principal Engineer

Bring an experienced Principal Engineer into ongoing technical decisions and delivery without adding a full-time role.

Best fit: A lean engineering team needs sustained technical leadership close to delivery and consequential decisions.

Includes

• •Architecture, design, and technical-strategy reviews
• •Roadmap, reliability, scalability, and vendor decisions
• •Critical implementation guidance and engineering standards
• •Mentoring, hiring support, and stakeholder communication

Outcome: Clearer technical direction, better-sequenced investments, and principal-level support for the team.
