The Foundation Sprint
Build the tech foundation that survives the board, the audit, and the scaling.
4 weeks (2 sprints × 2 weeks)
Who this is for
CEOs about to commit real capital to a product, or agencies scoping a six- or seven-figure build whose foundation they'll answer for in 18 months.
When you need it
You're at a decision point. The cost of a bad foundational choice compounds - every feature built on top of it costs more, binds you tighter to a structure you'll have to tear out, and dies in the room with the wrong investor.
What's delivered

- Living systems map documenting how every piece fits together
- Vendor shortlist for highest-leverage build-or-buy decisions
