Technology Audits
Get clarity before you commit
A structured assessment of your technology, processes, or architecture - delivered as a concrete report with a prioritised roadmap. Fixed scope, clear pricing, standalone value. No open-ended engagements until you're ready.
How it works
From conversation to clarity
Discovery call
A free 15–30 minute conversation to understand your situation and assess complexity.
Audit engagement
We assign a tier, agree on scope and price, then get to work - interviews, analysis, documentation.
Report & roadmap
You receive a detailed findings report, prioritised roadmap, and implementation proposal.
What comes next
We walk you through everything. You decide if and how to move forward - on your terms.
Audit Types
Four areas. Deep expertise.
Each audit is designed around a specific domain where we have the deepest experience. Pick the one that matches your most pressing need - or combine them for a broader view.
Processes & Automation Audit
Best for SMEs (10–50 employees)
Most businesses lose significant productivity to manual processes they've stopped noticing. Spreadsheet-driven workflows, copy-paste between systems, manual data entry, approval bottlenecks - they accumulate quietly. This audit systematically maps how your team actually works, identifies what can be automated with current technology, and quantifies the return on each improvement. You get a clear, prioritised plan - not a vague promise of efficiency.
What we assess
- Manual workflow mapping across departments
- Tool and system inventory
- Data flow and handoff points
- Automation opportunity identification
- ROI estimation per automation
What you get
- Current state workflow documentation
- Automation opportunity matrix with ROI estimates
- Prioritised implementation roadmap
- Implementation proposal for recommended automations
Technology Strategy Audit
Best for scale-ups (50–200 employees)
Technology decisions compound. The stack you chose two years ago, the shortcuts taken under deadline pressure, the team structure that made sense at ten people - they all shape what's possible now. This audit gives you an independent, experienced assessment of your entire technical landscape: architecture health, technical debt severity, team capability gaps, and whether your technology roadmap actually supports your business goals. Built for founders and leadership teams who need clarity before making their next big bet.
What we assess
- Technology stack health and currency
- Technical debt inventory and severity
- Architecture scalability assessment
- Team structure and capability gaps
- Roadmap alignment with business goals
- Build-vs-buy analysis for planned investments
What you get
- Technology health scorecard
- Technical debt register with severity ratings
- Team and capability gap analysis
- Strategic technology roadmap
- Implementation proposal for priority initiatives
Architecture Audit
Best for scale-ups (50–200 employees)
Systems that work at one scale break at the next. This audit is a thorough examination of your backend architecture, API integrations, data flows, and operational resilience. We look at the things that keep engineers up at night - race conditions, cascading failures, retry storms, single points of failure - and the things leadership needs to know: can this system handle 10x growth, what breaks first, and what does it cost to fix? Designed for companies with complex integration ecosystems or systems that weren't originally built to scale.
What we assess
- System architecture and component coupling
- API integration health and error handling
- Scalability bottleneck identification
- Resilience and failure mode analysis
- Data flow and consistency patterns
- Observability and monitoring coverage
What you get
- Architecture diagram with risk annotations
- Scalability assessment with bottleneck analysis
- Resilience report covering failure modes
- Prioritised remediation roadmap
- Implementation proposal for critical improvements
Data & Analytics Audit
For companies of all sizes
You're probably sitting on more useful data than you realise. The problem isn't usually the data itself - it's the plumbing. Disconnected sources, inconsistent formats, manual reporting processes, and dashboards nobody trusts. This audit assesses your entire data landscape: how data moves through your organisation, where quality breaks down, what reporting gaps exist, and how mature your analytics capabilities are. Whether you're starting from spreadsheets or scaling an existing data platform, you get a clear picture of where you are and a practical plan to get where you need to be.
What we assess
- Data source inventory and quality assessment
- Pipeline reliability and performance
- Reporting coverage and gap analysis
- Analytics infrastructure maturity
- Data governance and access patterns
- Dashboard and visualisation effectiveness
What you get
- Data landscape map with quality scores
- Pipeline health report
- Reporting gap analysis
- Analytics maturity scorecard
- Implementation proposal for priority data initiatives

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
A technology audit is a structured, time-boxed assessment of a specific area of your business - processes, architecture, data, or technology strategy. Unlike open-ended consulting, an audit delivers a concrete report with findings, a prioritised roadmap, and an implementation proposal. It's designed to give you clarity and a plan you can act on, whether or not you engage us further.
We don't ask you to guess. Every audit starts with a free 15–30 minute discovery call where we assess your company's complexity - team size, number of systems, process maturity, and scope of the assessment. Based on that conversation, we recommend a tier and give you a clear price and timeline before you commit to anything.
If you have manual processes costing your team time, or technology decisions you're unsure about, an audit can help regardless of company size. Our Essentials tier is specifically designed for smaller teams with straightforward setups. During the discovery call, we'll be honest if an audit isn't the right fit - we'd rather point you in the right direction than sell you something you don't need.
Every audit includes a walkthrough call where we present findings and discuss the roadmap. The report includes an implementation proposal - a clear outline of how we can help execute the recommendations through an ongoing engagement (retainer, embedded advisory, or project-based). But the audit stands on its own: you get a complete, actionable report regardless of what you decide to do next.
An audit is productised - fixed scope, fixed price, defined deliverables, and a set timeframe. A consulting engagement is open-ended and evolves over time. Think of the audit as the diagnostic: it tells you exactly what needs attention and in what order. Many clients use the audit as the starting point for a longer relationship, but it delivers standalone value either way.
Yes. Some companies benefit from running two audits in parallel - for example, a Processes & Automation audit alongside a Data & Analytics audit. We can scope combined engagements during the discovery call and often offer efficiency gains when audits overlap in areas like stakeholder interviews or system inventory.
