Triage
Identify the symptoms that are costing the business time, money or confidence.
Stabilisation and recovery
Platform Recovery Review
A focused review for platforms that are unreliable, difficult to change, repeatedly missing delivery expectations or consuming too much management attention.
When this helps
A defined intervention, not an open-ended consulting engagement.
The scope is deliberately focused: understand the important evidence, identify the decisions that matter and leave the business with something it can act on.
- Incidents, defects or failed releases are damaging confidence
- A modernisation programme has stalled or become too complex
- Technical debt is blocking product progress
- Different teams or suppliers disagree about the root cause
- Leadership needs a credible route from firefighting to control
What I look at
Enough depth to make the next decision properly.
The exact evidence varies by engagement, but the assessment typically covers the following areas.
- Production stability and operational resilience
- Architecture bottlenecks and failure modes
- Release, testing and deployment practices
- Observability, support and incident management
- Technical debt and modernisation sequencing
- Ownership across internal teams and suppliers
What you receive
Useful outputs, not a slide deck that expires in a shared drive.

Fast enough to be useful. Structured enough to be trusted.
