Start with a fixed-scope project.
A named piece of work, fixed price, clear deliverable. The simplest way to get value fast and see how we work.

Fractional delivery & requirements lead for regulated and fintech teams.
Senior requirements, decisions and documentation — retained monthly, or as fixed-scope projects. 17+ years in banking, regulated finance and complex software, without a full-time hire.

The problem
The gap is usually upstream of the build.
When delivery slips, decisions stall, or your documentation would not survive an audit, the cause is usually upstream of the build — no one senior owns the requirements and the decisions.
If you run delivery, product or a transformation: capable people handle requirements and stakeholders in the gaps, but no senior owns the thread. Decisions wait. Rework piles up. Audit-readiness slips.
If you carry capability or regulatory pressure: you need senior rigour your team keeps — not a generic training day, and not a slow, expensive full-time hire you only half-need.
Two ways to work
Start with a project, or retain senior capacity monthly.
Retain senior capacity monthly.
Ongoing access for requirements, decisions and documentation across your work — about three senior days a month, used where the gap is.
Move when it pays off.
Most clients start with a project and move to retained once it is paying off.
Fixed-scope products
Fixed scope, fixed price, senior delivery.
Buy one on its own — or use it inside a retained month.
Best first step
Delivery Readiness Review
£1,950
A senior look at where your requirements, decisions and delivery are quietly costing you, with a prioritised plan to fix it. Credited to your first month if you go retained within 30 days.
Start with a Readiness ReviewRegulation into Requirements
from £5,850
Turn a regulation — DORA, KYC/AML, or a new rule from your regulator — into clear business rules and a team-by-team list of what changes. The complex made usable.
Discuss this projectRequirements Reset
from £3,900
Get clear, testable requirements and a shared definition of ready, so your team stops re-arguing the same things and rebuilding work twice.
Discuss this projectDecision Paper
from £1,950
Take one decision that has been stuck for weeks to clear options, honest trade-offs, and a recommendation your team can actually act on.
Discuss this projectOr retain senior capacity monthly
For ongoing need, hold senior capacity each month.
Pick a tier.
Core, Pro or Prime — same service, three levels of priority and scope.
Agree the month’s mix.
Within ~3 senior days: a document, a workshop, on-call advisory, decision support.
Keep everything.
Documents, templates and methods stay inside your company.
You are paying for retained access and priority, not hours. Capacity is deliberately limited, so quality stays high. Unused time does not roll over; we hold the capacity for you.
Pricing
Retained monthly support, priced for access and priority.

Questions
Common questions before we talk.
Do I have to commit to a subscription?
No. Start with a fixed-scope project — the Readiness Review is the usual first step — and move to retained only if it makes sense.
Is the subscription just three days a month at a day rate?
No. It is retained access — priority, availability and senior delivery across the month. The value is reliable senior capacity on demand, not a discounted day rate.
What if we do not use the time one month?
It does not roll over. You are holding senior capacity ready for when you need it.
Can you work in our hours?
Polish working hours overlap almost the entire UK and European business day — real-time when you want it, asynchronous when that suits.
Can you handle regulated or sensitive work?
Yes — banking, KYC/AML, audit-trail design and operational-resilience regulation. NDA as standard; clients kept anonymous.

Ready?
A 30-minute call, or a fixed-scope Readiness Review — whichever fits.
Either way, you will get an honest read on where the gap is.
