The full answer
Consulting is useful when a decision is expensive to get wrong: choosing a stack for a new platform, deciding whether to rebuild or refactor, evaluating a vendor's proposal, or understanding why an existing system is slow, unstable or costly to run.
A typical engagement starts with conversations with your stakeholders and a review of the relevant code, infrastructure and documentation. Creuto then delivers written findings and a recommended roadmap, ranked by impact and effort, so your team can act on it.
Because Creuto's consultants are working engineers who ship products, advice is grounded in what is practical to build and maintain. The team has delivered 150+ products over more than a decade, which informs judgement on trade-offs.
Consulting can stand alone, or it can lead into implementation by Creuto, your in-house team or another partner. There is no obligation to continue with a build.
Typical consulting outputs include an architecture diagram of the current and target state, a risk register, a technology recommendation with alternatives considered, and an estimate of the effort involved in each recommended change. These documents stay with you and remain useful whoever carries out the work.
