Assess the system behind the question
We review the relevant code, architecture and operating constraints with your team. Recommendations start from the existing system and business priorities, rather than a preferred vendor or a blank-slate design.
Senior technical guidance
Technical leadership for the decisions your team has to make
Your engineers can build. They need a senior counterpart for the architecture, sequencing and tradeoffs that shape what comes next. We work beside the team and leave a decision record they can act on.
Talk about technical leadership- Working relationship
- A senior technical counterpart
- Scope
- Decisions, reviews and a delivery roadmap
- Your point person
- Founder, CTO or engineering lead
When it fits
The work this arrangement is built for
You have people to implement the work, but need experienced judgment on architecture, an AI initiative, a difficult delivery risk or the shape of the engineering team.
Advisory does not add a full implementation team. Choose an embedded team or project delivery when the main constraint is building capacity.
What working together looks like
Make tradeoffs reviewable
We compare practical options, document assumptions and identify what must be tested. For AI work, that includes the evaluation approach, data permissions and the cost of operating the feature.
Stay close to implementation
Architecture reviews and focused working sessions help the team apply the decision. The roadmap names dependencies and decision points, so it can change when new evidence appears.
Clear responsibilities on both sides
| The work | Your team | dplyz |
|---|---|---|
| Context | Share priorities, constraints and the current system. | Investigate the question and identify missing evidence. |
| Decisions | Own business tradeoffs and final approval. | Explain options, risks and a recommended direction. |
| Execution | Provide the engineers and manage delivery. | Review implementation and help resolve technical questions. |
What stays with you
Work your team can keep using
- A written assessment of the agreed problem
- Architecture decisions with supporting rationale
- A sequenced, actionable technical roadmap
- Review sessions and knowledge shared with your team
Questions about technical leadership
It can cover parts of that responsibility, such as architecture, technical planning and hiring guidance. Management authority and recurring responsibilities need to be agreed explicitly.
Yes, when you have the right to share the material. We review it against your requirements and operating constraints, and document the findings for the people doing the work.
Yes. If the assessment identifies a need for implementation capacity, we can scope a separate project or embedded engagement. The advisory findings remain useful either way.
Let’s work out the right fit
Tell us what you need to accomplish and who is already involved. We can shape the engagement around that.
