PRIMARY OFFERING

Independent technical diagnostic

What is really blocking you, what it costs to fix, and where to start — in two weeks, at a fixed price.

Your software or project has stopped moving — buggy releases, a provider gone silent, a team with no technical direction. Before you rebuild everything, understand what is blocking you.

For two weeks, I read the code, talk to the team, and examine the delivery pipeline. You receive a decision document a CEO can read: keep, rewrite, or take back control — with the costs and the sequencing. The full technical report is attached as an appendix, for your developers.

The diagnostic is carried end to end by the same person: me. Thirteen years in the trade, former software architect at Infopro Digital — and nobody else will read your code.

SECTION 01OBJECTIONS

Direct questions, direct answers

Another audit built to sell a rebuild?

01

No — that is structurally impossible here. I sell no rebuild and no development days behind the diagnostic. It may conclude that your current provider is the right one.

Is this IT management?

02

No. I do not manage hardware, networks, or workstations. The subject is your software and its delivery: the code, the team, the method.

Remote, really?

03

Yes. I currently support a French SME four days a week, fully remote — code reading, team sessions, and debriefs included.

Why not our agency, or a new provider?

04

A development provider has to sell development behind its audit. Diagnosing first, with someone who has nothing else to sell, secures the decision — including the decision to stay with your provider.

Is €4,000 expensive?

05

It is a fixed, published price for a documented decision a CEO can read — not a list of technical findings. Set against months at a standstill or a rebuild committed blindly, it is the shortest and cheapest option.

How will my team take it?

06

The diagnostic is not a tribunal. I talk with your developers, not against them — and the final document always separates inherited constraints from choices to correct.

How we start

  1. SCOPING CALL01

    30 minutes on a video call. We check together whether a diagnostic makes sense — no obligation.

  2. DIAGNOSTIC02

    2 weeks. I read the code, talk to the team, and examine the delivery pipeline.

  3. DEBRIEF & DECISION03

    A decision document, presented live. The monthly retainer is a possible next step, not an obligation.

Everything starts with a 30-minute scoping call — the calendar is online.
