Before any of it

An architecture review that ends with a route to live

Five days on what you have already designed or built. You get what is wrong with it, the architecture you should have had, and the path that gets it carrying real traffic. Most people who ask about this are not starting from nothing.

What you get

Four things, and the third is the one that matters

Every consultancy sells an architecture review and most of them end at a document. This one ends at a plan your team can start on Monday, which is a different deliverable.

What is wrong with what you have

Your design, assessed against the ten production gates every Rel8 deployment passes. Where it breaks at volume, where the compliance evidence is missing, what to cut. Written so your own engineers can argue with it rather than take it on faith.

The architecture you should have had

The target design, at a level your team can build from. Channel, conversation, orchestration, tools, guardrails and evidence, with the decisions written down and the reasons attached. Not a diagram, and not a vendor recommendation.

The delivery path to get there

What stands between you and live traffic, named. Environments, pipelines, infrastructure as code, the evaluation suite, the security review. This is the part nobody writes down, and it is usually why the pilot worked and production never happened.

Your team understanding why

A working session with the people who will own it. Most contact centre teams have twenty years of IVR behind them and have never designed a conversation, and the distinction between a decision tree, an intent model and an autonomous agent is rarely made clearly. We make it, against your own call flows.

Scope

What it is not

Worth being plain about, because three of these are what the word review usually means.

Not a proof of concept. We do not build you another demo. You almost certainly have one already, and it working is not the thing standing between you and production.
Not a strategy deck. No maturity model, no roadmap ending in a phase two to be defined. The output is an architecture and a delivery path, both specific to your estate.
Not a vendor selection. We build on AWS and we say so. If the answer is that your current platform is fine and you need three things fixed, that is the answer you get.
Not a sales exercise. It is useful whether or not you go further, and the fee is credited in full if you do. We would rather tell you the pilot is unsalvageable in week one than sell you a package around it.

What it costs

Published, like everything else

Most firms will not quote an assessment without a call first. Ours is a fixed price against a fixed scope, so you can decide whether it is worth having before you speak to anyone.

Route to Live

£7,500five days

Credited in full against any package started within 90 days. Fixed scope, fixed price, no change requests.

Day one, your design, your call flows and your current numbers, with the people who built it
Days two to four, the assessment against the ten gates, the target architecture and the delivery path
Day five, a working session with your team and a walkthrough with your sponsor
Everything in your repository and your document store, not ours
The engineer who does the review is the one who would deliver the build

What happens next

The question you will have on day six

Once you can see what is wrong, what it should be, and what stands between the two, the only question left is who closes the gap. There are three answers and one of them is that you do it yourselves.

Your team builds it. That is a real outcome and the delivery path is written for it. You keep the architecture, the decision records and the gate definitions either way.
We build a channel. Bronze at £25,000 takes one channel into production in four weeks, accepted against the same ten gates the review just scored you on. Silver and Gold go wider.
We own a workstream. Where the work is a programme rather than a project, a Rel8 directed squad takes a named backlog by the quarter, from £165,000.
Your fee comes off. The £7,500 is credited in full against whichever of those you start within 90 days, so a review you act on costs nothing.

Start with the free version

The review scores you against ten production gates. The assessment scores you against the same ten in three minutes, and tells you whether five days is worth buying.
