Architecture you can act on
Architect is our lightest engagement: a few weeks with Julie McFadden to think a platform through before you build it, or to settle the hard design questions your engineers are stuck on. The output is documents and decisions, not code.
Book a free 30-minute callWho it is for
Teams with engineering capacity but open questions about platform design, data modelling or identity. Also founders who need a credible technical plan before they hire or raise.
What you get
- An architecture specification you can hand to any engineering team.
- A data model and identity design.
- A build plan, and where useful a business plan or go-to-market framework, that you can act on.
What happens next
Many clients start with Architect and move into Co-build or Build once the plan is clear. Others take the plan to their own team. Either is fine: the documents are yours.

Questions
How long does an Architect engagement take?
A few weeks, not months. We confirm the length in the written scope before we start.
How much does it cost?
It depends on scope, so we quote after a free intro call, in writing, before any work starts. We charge fair market rates for senior work, without agency markup.
Who will I actually work with?
Julie McFadden, our founder and platform architect, leads every engagement herself, alongside senior engineers. There is no hand-off to a junior team.
