Make one critical workload ready for production.
In ten business days, we inspect the architecture, delivery path, security posture, observability, and operating model — then give your engineers a prioritised 90-day plan backed by evidence.
A production decision is waiting on evidence.
The sprint is for engineering leaders who can name the workload, the deadline, and the cost of getting the decision wrong.
- An AI service is moving from pilot to production
- A launch, migration, audit, or scaling event has a fixed date
- Incidents recur but the underlying work never reaches the roadmap
- Delivery depends on manual approval, platform tickets, or one expert
Six dimensions. Only the maturity your workload needs.
We score against the agreed production decision, not an abstract ambition to make every dimension a five.
Reliability and SLOs
Delivery flow and CI/CD
Platform and developer self-service
Security and software supply chain
Observability and incident readiness
Operating model, capability, and cost
What your team takes away
See a representative report →Readiness scorecard
Evidence-backed scoring across six dimensions, with the gaps that matter separated from maturity theatre.
Prioritised risk register
Risks ranked by user impact, likelihood, detectability, and recovery cost — with an owner and a decision attached.
Architecture and flow maps
The current workload, its delivery path, trust boundaries, dependencies, and the places where recovery still depends on memory.
30-60-90 day roadmap
Implementation-ready work ordered by risk reduction and measurable proof, not by which tool is easiest to buy.
Two handovers
An engineering working session and an executive readout. The evidence, trade-offs, and roadmap remain yours.
Ten days from evidence to decision
DeliveryAlign and collect
Choose the workload, agree the production decision, establish the evidence boundary, and interview the people who build and operate it.
Inspect and trace
Review architecture, repositories, pipelines, policy, telemetry, runbooks, and recent incidents using read-only access.
Score and decide
Test the evidence, rank the risks, write the trade-offs, and separate release conditions from longer-term platform work.
Roadmap and handover
Turn the findings into sequenced work, define proof for each outcome, and run the engineering and leadership readouts.
Fixed enough to start. Honest about what it is not.
Implementation is a separate decision. The sprint stands on its own, and the roadmap remains useful if your team runs it without us.
- —One named workload and its delivery path
- —Up to four stakeholder interviews
- —Read-only review of the agreed evidence set
- —No production changes during the sprint
- —Not a penetration test or compliance certification
- —No promise that every component needs five nines
One workload. One decision. Ten business days.
Tell us which part has to work.
We will use a 30-minute call to confirm the workload, evidence, deadline, and whether this sprint is the right shape. If it is not, we will say so.
