Ways to start

Start small. Keep what it produces.

Four fixed, low-risk ways to find out what we would change before you commit to more. Each one leaves you with something in writing, whether or not you continue with us.

How most clients start

  1. A free 30-minute session on a real problem
  2. A two-week discovery or proof of value, when there is something to prove
  3. Delivery on the commercial model that fits the risk

Four ways to start

Pick the one that matches the question you need answered. If none quite fits, the free session is where we work that out together.

Start here

Free working session

Free · 30 minutes

Bring a real requirement, release or backlog. A senior engineer works through it with you, live, with an agenda instead of a deck.

  • A walkthrough on your own use case
  • An architecture and integration read
  • Commercial options in writing within 48 hours

Best ifYou want to know whether we can help before you commit to anything.

Book the free session

Two-week discovery

Two weeks · fixed price

A named senior architect and delivery lead map the current state, quantify the bottleneck and hand you a plan with numbers attached.

  • Current-state assessment
  • Costed modernisation plan
  • Quality and risk baseline

Best ifA programme is stuck, slipping or about to start, and you need a costed plan.

Book discovery

AI proof of value

Two weeks · quoted first

Find out whether AI pays back on one real workstream, on your own data, against a success measure agreed before we start.

  • One named bottleneck and a success measure
  • A working model on your data, evaluated
  • The evaluation set and findings

Best ifYou have an AI idea and need evidence before a budget decision.

Scope a proof of value

Licence review

Before your next renewal

Right-size what you license across productivity, security, data and developer tooling, and consolidate the vendors behind it.

  • Usage against entitlement, product by product
  • Right-sizing and true-up exposure
  • A plan to consolidate vendor contracts

Typical clients recover 14–22% of annual licence spend in the first renewal cycle.

Best ifA renewal is coming up, or licence spend has grown faster than headcount.

Request a licence review

Buying software rather than services? SyncupHUB comes with QA Intelligence, Visual Canvas and Document Spaces at no extra cost: one subscription, no separate licences.

Whichever you choose

The same four commitments hold for every first engagement.

Yours to keep

Plans, evaluation sets and findings stay with you, whether or not you continue with us.

Terms in 48 hours

Written commercial options within 48 hours of the first call, quoted before any work starts.

Senior people throughout

An engineer, not a salesperson, on the first call. The people in the pitch are the people on the work.

The smallest fix that works

We recommend the cheapest model that solves the problem, and there is no obligation to license our software.

When you are ready for more

A first engagement usually ends in one of four commercial models. We will recommend the cheapest one that solves your problem, even when it is not the biggest contract.

  1. Product subscription

    License SyncupHUB, with QA Intelligence, Visual Canvas and Document Spaces included, plus onboarding and success support.

    Best forTeams adopting a product with light configuration.

  2. Dedicated pod

    A cross-functional squad — product, engineering, QA, DevOps — embedded with your team on a rolling quarterly commitment.

    Best forSustained roadmap delivery and platform ownership.

  3. Fixed-scope project

    Defined outcome, milestone plan and fixed commercials, with change control that does not punish learning.

    Best forMigrations, integrations and well-bounded builds.

  4. Managed outcome

    We own an SLA-backed service outcome — availability, release cadence or quality targets — not just headcount.

    Best forRun-and-evolve of business-critical systems.

Before you pick one

Nothing, for the first conversation: the 30-minute working session is free. Discovery is fixed price, and a proof of value or licence review is quoted in writing before it starts. Written commercial options arrive within 48 hours of the first call.

No. The plan, the evaluation set and the findings are yours whatever you decide next. Roughly half our engagements are pure consulting, and there is no obligation to license our software.

Discovery engagements typically start within a fortnight. A full delivery pod takes three to five weeks to assemble, depending on the domain and any clearance or compliance onboarding.

A senior engineer, not a salesperson. There is no pyramid staffing: the people in the pitch are the people on the work.

Not sure which one fits?

Book the free session and we will tell you, including when the honest answer is that you do not need us yet.
