Cost the roadmap before you commit to a platform.
Six weeks across your functions to a costed, sequenced roadmap and a preferred direction, before any platform or program is chosen. A structured assessment across strategy, operating model, technology and risk. Independent, evidence-based, fixed fee.
- Fixed fee, agreed at scoping
- Weeks, not months
- No obligation to continue
Where do we invest next?
Your technology strategy is set and you are ready to start delivering value.
Organisations facing transformation, platform replacement, cloud or AI adoption.
A program of work, costed and sequenced.
Most platform decisions are made before the options have been costed against each other.
Options nobody has costed
A shortlist of directions with no value, cost or effort against any of them. The loudest voice decides.
Months of consulting before a decision
Discovery, assessment, recommendation and business case run as separate engagements, each starting from scratch.
Advice from whoever sells the answer
A recommendation shaped by whoever is delivering it, with no independent view to test it against.
What you leave with.
Everything in Start, plus an executive assessment
One assessment across strategy, operating model, technology and risk, written for the executive.
Capability and operational maturity profiles
How each capability performs today, and what limits it.
Technology landscape assessment
The systems you run, what they cost, and the load they can take.
Opportunity heatmap and priority use cases
The use cases ranked by value and effort, so the argument for each is visible.
Target-state principles
The design rules that later decisions have to follow.
90-day, 6-month and 12-month roadmap
Three horizons with indicative cost, and the pathway that fits the chosen direction.
Six weeks, on a fixed timetable.
A structured assessment run across your leadership team and functional owners, ending in a costed, sequenced plan.
Indicative timings, confirmed at scoping. The decision points are yours.
- Weeks 1–2
Discover
Kickoff, executive interviews with the sponsor and eight to twelve people, and data and document gathering. You get a baseline across strategy, operating model, technology and risk.
- Weeks 3–4
Diagnose, options and priorities
Maturity profiles and the technology assessment, then future-state options and candidate use cases, costed and sequenced by value and effort. Decision point: you confirm the option set in week three.
- Weeks 5–6
Select and mobilise
The direction agreed with the sponsor and the target-state principles set, then the roadmap built across three horizons. Decision points: agree the direction in week five, approve the roadmap in week six.
Six stages, in a fixed order.
Discovery before design, decision before build. Scope for this sprint: multiple functions or business units.

Advice that stays independent, from the people who do the work.
Independent and vendor-neutral
We do not sell the platform. The recommendation is tested against the evidence, not a product list, and it stays independent whoever ends up delivering it.
Senior partners do the work
The people in the interviews are the people who write the findings. No leveraged team, and no handover between the pitch and the work.
One accountable team, from decide to run
When the evidence says build it or run it, Deployment and Managed Services take over with the same people. Nothing is lost between the decision and the delivery.
What people ask about Grow.
No. Grow includes everything in Start and you can enter here directly. Nothing is repeated, and scope builds from one sprint to the next.
Six weeks, on a fixed timetable agreed at scoping. Interviews fill the first two weeks, you confirm the option set in week three, agree the direction in week five and approve the roadmap in week six.
An executive sponsor and the function leads, an architecture owner, a finance contact for the cost assumptions, and a forum that can approve direction. We also need access to architecture and cost data.
An engagement lead and a lead consultant, plus architecture and risk specialists.
Planning and design, not build, integration or vendor contracting. Pilots and delivery run as separate pathways once the direction is agreed.
You leave with a costed roadmap you can take to any delivery team. If you want Kode-1 or a specialist partner to deliver, the recommended pathway says how. There is no obligation either way.
Six weeks to a costed direction, before you commit to a platform.
A fixed fee, agreed at scoping and sized to the decision in front of you. A fixed timetable, and no obligation to continue. The scoping conversation is free and takes 45 minutes.
