One ladder, four pillars

Every engagement starts by understanding where your team actually is. The rest flows from there.

ASSESS → IMPROVE → BUILD & LEAD → DEVELOP
PILLAR 1

Assess

Fixed scope, fixed price. This is where nearly every client starts.

Team Health ReviewSTART HERE

Team survey, interviews, and observation of two or three of your actual ceremonies. You get a written report with a prioritised improvement roadmap, and a leadership debrief to walk through it.

2–3 weeksfrom $5k · fixed price
PILLAR 2

Improve

Acting on the review — process, guardrails, and coaching that makes change hold.

Process Improvement Sprint

Four to six weeks implementing review findings: planning and prioritisation redesign, ceremony repair, flow metrics.

4–6 weeksfrom $10k fixed, or weekly

Engineering Guardrails

SDLC and security practices, incident response, access and licensing hygiene — plus the part almost no one else offers:

  • Policies for AI coding tools
  • Review standards for AI-generated code
  • Data-handling rules for your team's AI usage
Audit + policy pack + workshopfrom $8k

Team Coaching Engagement

Twelve weeks embedded with your team: fortnightly team sessions, ceremony observation, leadership syncs. Renewable by the quarter — this is where improvements stop being mine and start being yours.

12 weeks, renewablefrom $15k per team / quarter
PILLAR 3

Build & Lead

For companies without software DNA — construction, property, industrial — whose people can now build their software. I make sure you build the team right.

First Software Team

Building internal capability from zero: hiring plan and interview support, team structure, tooling and process setup, vendor guidance, and a 90-day operating plan.

2–3 monthsfrom $20k

Interim Engineering Manager

Fractional or interim engineering leadership, two to three days a week. One concurrent client only, with a defined exit: I hire or coach my replacement.

Limited availability by design.

2–3 days/weekfrom $1,200/day or retainer
PILLAR 4

Develop

Individuals and events.

1:1 Coaching

For leaders and senior ICs. Single sessions or 5- and 10-session packs, booked directly.

Workshops & Offsites

Scrum training and working-agreement days. The flagship: The Small Team Reset — a one- or two-day offsite where your team builds its AI-era operating agreement.
