Technical architecture
You're building something new and want to pick the right stack, hosting, and database before writing code. We review requirements and recommend an approach, even if it doesn't involve hiring us.

You're building something new and want to pick the right stack, hosting, and database before writing code. We review requirements and recommend an approach, even if it doesn't involve hiring us.
You have developers (in house or outsourced) and you're not sure they're making the right calls. Code reviews, architecture assessments, process evaluations. Honest feedback, delivered with respect.
You have an idea but no spec. We help define what the product should do, what it shouldn't, and what order to build in. The output is a scoping document you can take to any development team.
Comparing proposals from multiple agencies? We review them. What's reasonable, what's inflated, what's missing.
Not every engagement starts with "build this." Sometimes it starts with "we have a codebase nobody understands," or "we're about to hire three developers and don't know what to ask them," or "we got a proposal from another agency and the price seems off."
We do consulting for companies that need technical guidance without committing to a full build. Fraction of the cost. Can save you months of wrong turns.
Focused: $3K-$5K
Full: $5K-$15K
Our technical consulting work usually covers architecture reviews, discovery workshops, migration plans, vendor evaluation, delivery rescue, and senior technical guidance before you commit more budget or engineering time.
Costa Rica gives US teams overlapping work hours, faster feedback, and senior perspective without the rate structure of a local US consultancy.
Smaller audits and discovery sprints are usually fixed-scope engagements. Longer advisory work depends on the depth of the review, the number of stakeholders, and whether we also guide implementation.
A focused consulting sprint often takes 1-3 weeks. Larger audits, roadmaps, or architecture reviews usually take 4-6 weeks depending on system complexity.
We work across React, Vue, Node.js, Laravel/PHP, mobile stacks, cloud infrastructure, analytics, and integrations. The point is to fit your stack, not force ours.
Yes. Most consulting work starts with an existing product, an inherited codebase, or a team that needs a second opinion before a major decision.
Yes. We regularly work with teams in the US and Canada, and Costa Rica gives us practical overlap for standups, reviews, QA, and quick decisions during the workday.
SaaS, fintech, media, health, ecommerce, and internal product teams.
Yes. Some engagements stay strategic, while others roll into implementation, staff augmentation, or ongoing support once priorities are clear.
We start with a working session on goals, constraints, timeline, stakeholders, and architecture. From there we scope the right audit, workshop, or advisory plan.
