Technology advisory — the question behind the question
Sometimes the best advice is: build nothing. Twenty years as a business analyst in banking and investment environments teaches you to turn messy questions into clear decisions — that is what you hire here.
- A fit when
- A technology choice, quote, or process decision needs an independent review.
- You receive
- A reasoned recommendation with options, risks, and a practical next step.
- Evidence
- Grounded in twenty years of business analysis in financial services.
What to bring
Software choices you cannot settle. An agency quote you want a second opinion on. A process that keeps jamming while everyone names a different tool. The question whether AI means anything for your business — without the hype.
Short and concrete: you get clear advice with the trade-offs included, written so you can explain it yourself to whoever decides.
Why independence matters
I sell no licences, no team hours, and no maintenance contracts. If the best answer is someone else’s off-the-shelf product, then that is the advice.
That makes the advice occasionally uncomfortably honest — and exactly that makes it usable.
Costs and scope
A bounded second opinion or decision analysis usually takes one or two half-days. We agree the objective, deliverable, and one fixed amount in advance.
If one conversation answers the question, we leave it there. If further research or documentation is useful, you receive a new proposal first. Advisory stays a decision aid, not an open-ended time budget.
One email is enough to start. Write briefly what you want to build or improve — you get an honest answer and a practical next step, not a sales call.
