Advisers and partners
A technology specialist you can introduce with confidence.
A client has a technology problem outside your expertise, and your reputation goes with whoever you suggest. We tell you whether it fits before anyone commits, and agree how we work with you.

Answers from our published service information
01 / When advisers call us
You do not need to diagnose the problem.
You need someone who can solve it properly and will reflect well on you.
- A client wants to build a new product, system or capability.
- A business is held back by ageing or fragile systems.
- A client wants to use AI and does not know where to start.
- A client is worried about security, architecture or technology risk.
- A client needs more engineering capacity, or has outgrown its team.

02 / How an introduction works
From a first conversation to a first step.
01
Discuss the situation
Describe it in business terms, with or without the client present.
02
Hear whether it fits
We say whether we solve it before anyone commits, and if not, who to ask instead.
03
Agree roles and communication
At the first conversation: who leads client contact, which meetings you join and what updates you receive.
04
The client gets a first step
Fixed in scope and quoted, with a written deliverable the client keeps whether or not they continue.
What clients bring us in for
03 / What we hear most
Fair questions before an introduction.
A bad referral reflects on me.
You hear whether the work fits before your client commits. The first step is small, fixed in scope and quoted, so the client judges us on real work.
Technology firms overpromise.
We publish what we have delivered and label work in progress as in progress. Estimates come as ranges with their assumptions stated.
Will you take over the relationship?
Your role is agreed at the first conversation: who leads client contact, which meetings you join, how you stay informed. If that needs to change, we raise it with you.
Will I be kept informed?
What you receive, how often and from whom is agreed at the start, with the client's consent. A named senior engineer is your contact.
It may be too big or too costly for the client.
The client knows the cost of the first step before they commit. If the work is not worth doing yet, we say so.
Can you handle something this complex?
Bring it to a Fit call and we will tell you plainly. Our evidence is below.

Common questions
What advisers ask us.
What kinds of client problems should I bring?
Anything where technology has become a barrier, an opportunity or a risk: an ageing system, a new product, an AI idea with no starting point, a security worry, a team out of capacity, or a need for an independent view of the technology.
What if the problem is outside what you do?
We say so and suggest who to talk to instead. A clear no early is more useful than a stretched yes.
Do I need to understand the technology?
No. Tell us what the client is trying to do and what is in the way. We ask the technical questions and explain the answers in plain language.
Have a client in mind?
Talk a client situation through with us.
