How it works
Intake
You fill the short form below (about 2 minutes).
Assess
I review across the 6 dimensions, at your access level.
Report
You get a 6-10 page PDF: snapshot, findings, 90-day plan.
Session
An included 45-minute session with your team or tech lead: walk the roadmap, ask questions, get quick feedback. Deeper sessions on request.
250 EUR
fixed, per solution (one codebase, pipeline + its infra)
Includes the PDF report and at least one 45-minute session with your team or tech lead. Deeper sessions on request.
More than one product? Ask for a bundle. Need more depth (security, QA, or hands-on implementation)? Ask for a quote.
I personally produce every report and take a maximum of 3 at a time.
Questions tech leads ask
Is this an audit? Are you grading my team?+
No. It is an independent, honest read on where your DevOps stands today, plus a prioritized plan to improve it. It is written to help a busy team move faster and safer, not to judge anyone.
Will it disrupt my team's work?+
No. Your time commitment is a short questionnaire and at least one 45-minute session with you as the lead. I do not pull your engineers into a drawn-out audit.
Do you need access to our code and infrastructure?+
You choose. Level (a) needs no system access at all and still produces a useful report. Levels (b) and (c) add read-only repo/CI access or an infra walkthrough for a sharper read. Access is least-privilege and read-only wherever possible.
How do you protect our data and IP? Do you sign an NDA?+
Yes. I sign your NDA, or provide a short mutual one, before any access or sensitive details are shared, and I sign any other legal documents you require. Credentials are never stored, and access is revoked and data deleted after delivery.
What exactly do we receive?+
A 6-10 page PDF: a maturity snapshot across the six dimensions, findings ranked by impact, quick wins, and a 90-day improvement roadmap, plus at least one 45-minute session with your team or tech lead.
Can this help with a security or compliance audit?+
It is not a formal audit and does not replace one, and it is not a certification. But because it checks your setup against the same engineering best practices a security or compliance audit examines, it surfaces most of the technical gaps a formal audit would flag. It is a fast, low-cost way to see where you would stand and fix the obvious issues before a formal SOC2 or ISO audit.
What if we have more than one product, or want help implementing?+
The 250 EUR covers one solution. More than one product? Ask for a bundle. Want hands-on help implementing the roadmap, or a deeper security or QA session? Ask for a quote.
Are we locked into anything afterward?+
No lock-in. You own the report and can act on it entirely on your own. If you would like help implementing it, that is a separate, optional engagement.
