This is a sample plan
It’s modeled for a typical 250-person company. Your real plan starts with the free two-minute verdict on fatsaas; it lands back here with your numbers, and you decide whether to apply.
On cuts: if I don’t identify at least 3× my fee in cuttable software spend within 6 months, you pay nothing.
On builds: a fixed fee, quoted in writing before any work starts, and the code is yours. Vendor-neutral: I don’t resell anyone’s software, so the only number I’m chasing is yours. I take a limited number of clients, and only ones whose stack I’ve already diagnosed, so I never guarantee blind.
Eleven years across data and enterprise software, the last seven in solutions engineering: scoping integrations, building proofs of concept against real customer systems, and getting buyers confident in new software. Knowing exactly how a stack gets sold is what lets me see the overlap inside one. I scope it, build it, hand you the code, and back the cuts with a guarantee.

I don't push a specific tool — the right survivor depends on your workflows. Picking it, and the migration order, is the work we do together.
