Senior advice, no upsell.

We're app development consultants for founders and product teams who want a senior second opinion before — or instead of — hiring an agency. Same people who'd build it, telling you whether you should.

The four conversations we have most weeks.

  • 01

    You can't tell if the agency quote is reasonable

    Send us the proposal. We'll tell you what's fair, what's padded, and what's missing — in a 30-minute call.

  • 02

    Lovable vs Cursor vs hire devs

    We use all of them. We'll tell you which one fits your stage, your skill, and your team — without the religion.

  • 03

    The roadmap has 40 things and you have one quarter

    We help you cut. Not by voting — by talking to your users and reading your data.

  • 04

    Something feels off in the codebase

    Code review with a written report. Security, architecture, performance, AI-readiness. One page, prioritised.

Three sizes. Pick one.

  • Call30 or 60 minutes. You get a written follow-up the same day with the three things we'd do next.
  • AuditWe read your codebase, your roadmap, your analytics. One-page report, prioritised, in 48 hours.
  • Embedded weekWe sit inside your team for five days. Ship one thing, advise on the next three.

App development consulting, answered.

What does an app development consultant do?
We sit on your side of the table and answer the questions you'd otherwise pay six figures to learn the hard way: what to build, what to skip, what stack, what tools, what the first three releases should be. Then we help you ship the first one.
Is consulting the same as building?
It can be either or both. Some clients hire us purely for the second opinion. Most ask us to build whatever we recommended. We're fine with either — we don't push the build.
How is this different from a regular app development agency?
A regular agency wants the contract. We want you to ship the right thing — even if that means we tell you not to build it at all. Our default mode is one-week engagements, not three-month projects.
Do you consult on vibe-coded apps and AI tooling?
That's most of our consulting work. Should you use Lovable or Cursor? When does the codebase need to be rebuilt by a human? Which AI tools are worth the subscription? We answer this every day.

Bring the hard question.

One paragraph on the decision in front of you. We reply within one working day with a real take.
