Questions
Good to know
What does a consulting engagement look like?
It is an independent senior perspective on tap — architecture and code reviews, technical due diligence for an investment or acquisition, interview panels, or a standing sounding board for the hard calls. The format flexes from a single deep-dive day to an ongoing advisory retainer.
Why choose Stratis for consulting?
You get candid, ranked risk instead of comfortable consensus. Having built and operated the kinds of systems under review, I can tell you not just what is wrong but what is worth fixing first — and say so plainly, in writing you can hand to a board.
