Tech advisory for small business
Technology should be the boring part of running your business.
Most businesses pick tools as problems arrive. One for invoicing, one for comms, one that someone's cousin recommends. The result is a stack nobody fully owns, nobody fully understands, and nobody has time to fix. We do.

The 'AI' label tells you nothing. Make them prove it.

How to audit your AI dependency
The NoCode CTO sits between a full-time CTO — too expensive, too heavyweight — and a generic IT consultant — too tactical, too tool-focused. The right question isn't "what system should we buy?" It's "how should technology actually work in this business, and what's stopping it from working that way now?"
How we work
Four ways to engage — from a one-off audit to an ongoing advisory relationship.
Audit and Strategy
An honest audit of what you have, what it costs, and what it should be doing. You get a prioritised plan — not a report that goes in a drawer.
Learn more →Fractional CTO Advisory
Five days per quarter of CTO-level thinking, without the full-time hire. Strategy, decisions, and someone to call when something needs a clear head.
Learn more →Special Projects
A specific problem that needs solving — a migration, an automation build, a vendor selection, or a tool that won't bed in. Two days a week until it's done.
Learn more →Personnel Sourcing
Finding the right technology hire is harder than it looks if you don't know what good looks like. We define the brief, source candidates, and tell you which ones to take seriously.

All articles →Five signs your technology is working against you
When simple changes turn into three-day jobs and your team quietly builds workarounds, your technology has stopped working for you. Here are the signs worth watching, and what they have in common.
The 'AI' label tells you nothing. Make them prove it.
Every product now says 'AI', and the label tells you nothing about whether it can actually change how your business runs. There's a five-minute demo test that sorts the real thing from a chatbot bolted onto last year's software.
Your tech stack grew by accident
One founder we audited was sure he ran fifteen tools. The real number was forty-one. Your stack grew by accident, and the first step to taking control is a map, not a purge.
Worth a conversation.
No pitch deck. No commitment. Just a conversation about what technology is and isn't doing for your business — and whether we can help.
