How our part-time CTO accelerates your roadmap

Technical diagnosis

Technical diagnosis

Our engineers examine your code and architecture, as well as the organisation and costs that support them. You receive a written assessment, risks classified by severity, and a costed action plan. The deliverable belongs to you and remains usable by any service provider.

Ideal if a committing decision awaits you and you want an independent review before making a pronouncement.

Recurring technical directorship

Recurring technical directorship

A senior Technical Director intervenes a few days a month in your company. They arbitrate your architecture choices, manage your developers and service providers, and take charge of your technical recruitments. The number of days increases during a structuring project, then returns to the monthly rhythm once the service has been put into operation.

Ideal if your digital tools are critical and no technical directorship arbitrates them today.

We have delivered over 800 projects since 2017: business software, applications, platforms, and integrations into existing systems. Your technical director has already made decisions in these situations on other systems, and Galadrim's security, data, and AI experts advise with them on what falls outside their scope.
Decisions independent of our order book

Your technical director can recommend another provider, or your internal teams. The continuation of their mandate remains independent of the development volume you entrust to Galadrim.
