The Problem
Technology decisions can be expensive, confusing, and hard to reverse.
Business leaders regularly face high-stakes technology decisions without a trusted technical advisor to consult. A vendor promises significant benefits, but the proposal is hard to evaluate. A cloud migration is being proposed, but the risk and cost picture is unclear. A software purchase is up for renewal and you are not sure if it is the right tool. This engagement gives you a structured, experienced perspective before the decision is made.

The Process
How this engagement works
Fit Call
We confirm the decision to be made, the timeline, and what a useful advisory output looks like for you.
Context and Materials
Relevant proposals, quotes, diagrams, or summaries are shared. Stakeholder interviews are completed.
Analysis
The decision is analyzed from a risk, feasibility, cost, and fit perspective. A clear recommendation is drafted.
Decision Brief and Call
The written decision brief is delivered and a call walks you through the recommendation, risks, and next steps.
Who This Is For
For business owners and executives who need a senior second opinion
This engagement is a strong fit for business owners, CEOs, COOs, and other leaders who regularly face technology decisions that require more expertise than they have internally. It works well when evaluating a vendor proposal, deciding whether to build or buy a software solution, choosing between cloud platforms, assessing a proposed IT project, or understanding the risks and trade-offs of a specific technology direction.
It is the lowest-cost and fastest way to get practical, senior-level technology guidance on a specific question without starting a larger consulting engagement.
Pricing note: Pricing shown is starting pricing for standard-scope engagements. Final pricing depends on complexity of the decision, number of materials reviewed, urgency, and any requested work outside the standard scope.
These starter engagements are intentionally scoped to produce useful outcomes without turning into open-ended consulting projects. If your decision requires a broader architecture review or ongoing advisory support, SullySoft can provide a separate estimate before any additional work begins.
