Wir bauen Software.
Operations complete it.
Engineering is the core practice. Operations keep what we build alive in production. Advisory and governance sit alongside — embedded in delivery, not sold as separate workshops. One Swiss-led team owns the outcome end-to-end.
I Engineering
Software engineering & build
Our core practice. Senior-led design and engineering of production software — web, backend, data, integrations. Owned end-to-end through to release.

Strategic & technical advisory
Senior business and technology judgement from people who have run regulated environments — Tier-1 financial services and public administration. C-level advisory, board-facing opinions and architecture calls, embedded in delivery rather than packaged as a workshop deck.

— Regulated-industry programme & vendor assurance
— Architecture review and technical due diligence
— Fractional CTO / Head of Engineering
When to call us
Boardroom decisions, regulated transformations, pre-investment reviews, or when something feels off.

— Observability, alerting & on-call rota
— Incident, change & release management
— SLAs and operational reporting (99.9% measured)

Governance is not the break. Its the steering.
Delivery governance & audit-readiness — built into all three.
Most regulated programmes fail not at the build, but at the audit. We invert that — the evidence trail is the deliverable, and the working software ships alongside it.
Partner statement · Zürich
Quality Gates Built into every sprint, not bolted on at the end.
Traceability Decision-to-deployment audit trail across every engagement.
Compliance docs QMS-aligned evidence generated from day one — not day 300.
Programme oversight Senior steering and vendor governance on every delivery.

Aligned incentives,
transparent meters.
We avoid both extremes — fixed-price scope games and open-ended body-leasing. Most engagements move through three phases. You can exit at the boundary of any of them.
Stage A
Capped-hours discovery
Typical: 2–4 weeks
A fixed, capped budget to understand the problem before quoting the work.
- Defined scope, defined ceiling — no surprise invoices
- Senior partner leads from day one
- Ends with a written opinion you can act on
Stage B
T&M with timesheets
Typical: 3–18 months
Time-and-materials delivery with transparent timesheets and weekly governance.
- Senior-led, blended Swiss + offshore team
- Weekly burn report, monthly steering
- Stop, slow down or scale up at any sprint boundary
Stage C
Retained advisory & operations
Typical: rolling 6–12 months
Ongoing senior judgement and SRE coverage once delivery stabilises — fractional, not full-time.
- Fixed monthly retainer
- Named partner + on-call rota
- Quarterly review against business outcomes
