Plan it before you build.
Systems Design and Operational Architecture. We map your tools, your data and how the work gets done, then hand you a blueprint and a roadmap for what to build first.
From approx. $250/hour, scoped per engagement.
Systems Design
From approx. $250 / hour
- Scoped per engagement
- A written blueprint
- A prioritized roadmap
- On its own, or the first step of a build
What we cover
Before you build, or for a setup you already have that needs a review.
Technical systems design
Your stack, how data moves, and how your tools connect. What to build and what to plug in.
Operational architecture
How the work gets done: processes, tools, written how-tos and team handoffs. Where it breaks.
Implementation roadmap
What to build first, what to buy, and what can wait.
Who it's for
Founders planning a build who want it mapped first. Teams whose current setup needs a review, a clear scope or a plan.
- Membership and community platforms
- Payments and billing
- Courses and learning platforms
- Client portals
- Internal tools and automation
- Online stores and digital delivery
What you walk away with
A blueprint
A written document covering how it all fits together, what's in scope, which tools to use and how the work should run.
A prioritized roadmap
Next steps in phases. Then a follow-up session if you want one, or a handoff to discovery if you want us to build it.
