// pillar 06 of 08
Cadence, decisions and maintenance — with a named owner.
Project management, technical due diligence, ongoing support and fractional technical leadership — the layer that keeps the rest predictable.

The problems we usually find.
-
The vendor delivered and moved on
The system is in production with no team that knows it. Every minor request means its own quote and weeks of waiting.
-
Evolution without defined priorities
What happens next depends on availability rather than an order agreed by impact and risk.
-
Technical decisions with nobody to own them
There are vendors, proposals and opinions — but nobody inside the company with the judgement and the mandate to decide.

// frequently asked
About Delivery & Governance.
Do you take over code written by another team?
Yes, often. We start with an assessment of the real state — code, tests, infrastructure and risks — and deliver an objective report, including the cases where we recommend not continuing on the current base.
How does the retainer work?
We reserve team capacity per month, with an agreed cadence, and priorities are reviewed together each cycle. It is not an hour bank for emergencies.
What does a technical due diligence include?
State of the code and architecture, test coverage, dependencies and security risks, predictable maintenance cost, and a clear opinion on what to do next. It is common in investment or acquisition contexts.
// next step
Shall we talk about your case?
