System Design & Technical Consulting

For startups that found product-market fit and feel the strain: an architecture audit and a scaling strategy with fixes ranked by impact.

Post-PMF startupsFixed-scope auditsPrioritized fixes

You found product-market fit — and now the system that got you here is straining. System Design & Technical Consulting is a fixed-scope engagement that audits your architecture, finds what's slowing you down or about to break, and hands you a prioritized, actionable plan to scale.

No open-ended retainer, no vague "it depends." A defined review with a concrete deliverable: a fix list ranked by impact.

What you get

  • Architecture audit — a principal architect reviews your system design, data model, and boundaries.
  • Performance analysis — where it strains under load, and why.
  • Scaling strategy — a clear path from where you are to where you're going.
  • A prioritized fix list — actionable items ranked by impact and effort, not a wall of theory.

How it works

  1. Scope the review. A short call to define the questions that matter and set a fixed scope.
  2. Audit. We dig into the architecture, data model, and the parts feeling the pressure.
  3. Report & roadmap. You get an audit report with prioritized, actionable fixes — build them yourself or with us.

Who it's for

Post-PMF startups whose MVP is buckling under growth; teams facing a "refactor vs. rewrite" decision; and founders who need a senior second opinion on the system before making an expensive call.

Fixed scopequoted per audit

Priced to the questions you need answered. You leave with a report and a prioritized plan you can act on immediately.

FAQ

Do you fix the issues or just report them?

Either way. The deliverable is the audit and the plan, which you own. Many clients then have us implement the high-impact fixes — but you're free to take the plan to any team.

How is this different from Full-Cycle development?

Consulting is a diagnosis and a plan for an existing system; Full-Cycle Development is building the product itself. Many teams start here and continue there.
