You know what hurts. This is where it goes.
Each engagement has a stated method and a fixed first step. Find the symptom that sounds like yours — or take the architecture retainer below if the question is bigger than any one of them.
Match the symptom to the work
- /01
“Month-end posting is slow and unpredictable. Users are waiting, and nobody can say which layer is actually responsible.”
Database Performance Tuning
- /02
“You are still on Dynamics NAV, Microsoft's clock is running, and the business cannot absorb a failed cutover.”
Dynamics NAV → Business Central
- /03
“Read-only review of the Azure under a data estate — what the spend is carrying, where recovery is untested, and which layer owns the slowness”
Azure cost & reliability
- /04
“You have decided to move and need a costed, sequenced plan before you commit the budget.”
Discovery Audit
- /05
“You want to know what is actually costing you the time — one database, read-only, before anything bigger is scoped.”
First look (one database)
- /06
“Your data platform is on-premises, you want it in the cloud, and you do not want to trade one lock-in for another.”
On-premises data → cloud
Every one of them starts read-only. Nothing is changed on a system of yours before you have seen the evidence and agreed the scope.
When the question is bigger than one engagement
Some work does not fit a fixed scope — an architecture you are about to commit to, a reliability target you are not sure you can hold, a recovery plan that has never been tested. That is what this retainer is for.
- /01
Azure & AWS architecture
Cloud architecture that holds up under real load — designed for cost, resilience and operability, and reviewed against what you already run.
- /02
Reliability, scalability and disaster recovery
Capacity and failure modes made explicit: what breaks first, what it costs, and whether recovery has been demonstrated rather than assumed.
- /03
Senior judgment on call
A retainer for the decisions that do not fit a fixed scope — a design review, a second opinion before a cutover, a question nobody internally owns.
