To keep whether or not you proceed.
Get what you already have working for the business.
You already have a system. Part of the business was meant to run on it, and it is half‑built, or it breaks.
We take on systems we did not build. We start from what you need yours to do, before what is wrong with it. Then a Technical Review puts two to three days inside your systems and comes back with a written list. Every item has a definition of done and a day estimate. You hold that list before any repair is bought.

‘Absolute godsend of team, helped us repair a lot of automations that we tried to build ourselves. Understood what made HVAC jobs so different!’

A review comes first, and takes two to three days
A Technical Review answers three things: what is there, what is broken, and what it would take. It comes first for any system we did not build.
At the end of it you hold:
- A prioritised backlog.
- A definition of done for each item.
- A day estimate for each item.
The fee for the review is credited against your first block of Engineering Days.
A definition of done says what must be true for an item to count as finished. With the estimates beside it, you can see the size of the work before a day of it is bought.

Engineering Days work down that list in order
Engineering Days are prepaid blocks of days. They suit software work that is not one job. It has no single accepted output, and a backlog defines it.
In a block you get:
- Work from the backlog, in priority order.
- A definition of done for each item.
- A short daily note.
- A weekly summary.
- Single days, once a block has run.

Sometimes the answer is a Build, or a Programme
If the review shows the work is one job with one output, we quote a Build. If the work is ongoing, it is a Programme.
We are on call only under Care for inherited systems
Care for inherited systems keeps something we did not build running, after we have fixed it. It is quoted after the Technical Review.
Outside that Care, we do not take on-call responsibility for a system we did not build.
The guarantee has a section for day-rate work
The written guarantee has its own section for Technical Reviews and Engineering Days.
The backlog shows the size before you pay for days
Every item carries a day estimate, so the size of the work is in writing first. Engineering Days are bought as blocks and paid for in advance. Care for inherited systems is quoted after the Technical Review.
