Challenge
Your current infrastructure is holding back your product delivery. Scaling is slow. Change is risky. Your engineers are spending more time managing tooling than building features. You know a cloud-native approach is the way forward, but turning that strategy into something real, tested, and team-ready can feel out of reach without the right partner.
Approach
We work alongside your team to understand the specific business pressures you face - from lost opportunities to escalating operational costs. Through structured workshops, we design a reference architecture that addresses your unique constraints while establishing measurable outcomes that matter to your business. Rather than theoretical recommendations, we build a working foundation that validates your platform approach and identifies any show-stoppers before they become costly mistakes.
Our pilot focuses on solving the real pain points your teams experience daily. We implement your representative application using platform engineering best practices, capturing concrete evidence of operational improvements and development workflow changes. Your engineering teams work directly with the new platform, providing immediate feedback that shapes the solution to fit your organisation's needs and technical constraints.
The pilot delivers comprehensive documentation of findings, live demonstrations of deployment capabilities, and a clear assessment of transformation requirements. You receive not just technical assets, but practical answers to critical business questions about investment, risk mitigation, and implementation sequencing. Your teams gain the confidence and evidence needed to make informed decisions about your platform engineering journey.

Product FAQ
How do we know when our platform is ready to support our customers at scale?
Solution: Comprehensive validation through practical testing
We meticulously test all scenarios relevant to your use cases during the pilot. Your team experiences the operational workflows firsthand, while we document performance characteristics and scalability patterns. By week three, you'll have concrete evidence of whether the platform meets your requirements, along with a clear understanding of any prerequisites needed for broader adoption.
How will platform standardisation affect our teams' ability to choose their own tools and approaches?
Solution: Balance discovery through team participation
Your teams participate in defining the platform's golden paths during the technical workshops. We facilitate discussions about which standards serve everyone versus where flexibility should remain. The process helps teams understand the trade-offs between autonomy and consistency, with decisions emerging from collaborative design rather than top-down mandates.
What happens if we invest time in this pilot and discover our team isn't ready for the cultural transformation that platform engineering requires?
Solution: Readiness assessment and realistic planning
The pilot includes structured evaluation of your team's transformation readiness through hands-on participation in platform design workshops and technical implementation. We assess skills gaps, cultural barriers, and organisational constraints as part of the process. If readiness challenges emerge, we provide clear recommendations for addressing them, including training requirements and change management strategies. The pilot's value lies in discovering these realities early, when adjustments are still manageable and cost-effective.
