Software consulting
without the bloat.
We audit your entire company, code base, security practices, and SaaS spend. Get a prioritized action plan in plain English. One flat fee, no retainers, no fluff.
Architecture & Debt
A deep dive into the scalability and maintainability of your core codebase.
Plot every system on one unified chart.
We map every piece of software, vendor, and workflow your business depends on into a single visual graph — so nothing important stays hidden in someone's browser tab.
Real-time telemetry grouping.
Each node maps a dependency workflow. Instantly identify modules running perfectly, those requiring optimization, and structural bottlenecks.
Deep architectural recommendations.
The graph exposes structural dependencies. The engineering brief targets remediation. Every directive is categorized, isolated, and cleanly outlined.
Rotate exposed Stripe restricted key in production
Found a restricted Stripe key committed to a public branch in March. Low active risk but should be rotated and the commit purged before the next investor diligence cycle.
Consolidate three overlapping email tools
Customer.io, Mailchimp, and Loops are each used by different teams for similar flows. Recommend retiring two and centralising onto Customer.io with workflow templates.
Move background jobs off the web process
Long-running exports are blocking the same Node process serving requests. We'd move them to a dedicated worker on Inngest before the next traffic spike.
Build a single onboarding workflow inside Studio OS
Onboarding is spread across Notion checklists, Slack DMs, and a spreadsheet. We'd consolidate into a single Studio OS process with auto-assigned owners.
Meetings on a rhythm, not a guess.
As a Studio client, you get a real cadence: weekly check-ins, monthly Studio OS reviews, and quarterly strategy sessions. You always know when the next conversation is and what it's about.
Audit walkthrough
Live review of the chart and report. We answer everything and agree the first set of priorities to action together.
Operating check-in
A short standup with the engineer and ops lead working on your systems. Status, blockers, and decisions needed from you.
Studio OS review
We walk through what changed inside Studio OS — new automations, integrations, vendor changes, and live metrics.
Business review & roadmap
A strategic session: how the systems performed, what to invest in next, and how to pitch new software for the next quarter.
We quote and pitch the next software you'll need.
When the audit shows software that should be built or replaced, we put a real proposal in front of you — scope, timeline, cost. No mystery line items, no surprise rates.
Customer Portal v1
A self-serve portal so existing customers can manage subscriptions, see invoices, and submit support requests — replacing three SaaS tools we recommended retiring.
- Customer.io
- ChurnZero (partial)
- Manual Stripe portal
Your 360° Audit fee is credited toward this build. You'll see it on the first invoice.
Approve, request changes, or skip — there's no pressure. Studio only builds what you sign off on.
After the audit, your business lives in Studio OS — the control layer where every system, vendor, request, and AI agent we set up actually runs. This is what you log into.
Acme Inc
Good morning, Sam. Here's where Acme stands.

LiveTwo vendors haven't renewed integrations this month. Want me to draft the renewal questions for the next operating check-in?
Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Simple explanations for your most important questions
Most founders we work with aren't technical, and that's completely fine. The audit is there to catch the things that are easy to miss: security issues, architectural choices that get expensive later, tools you might not need. Everything is tailored to your specific product and situation. The fee is also fully credited toward any development work, so it really just becomes part of getting started.
