Start with the pressure you need to address. Explore the question, the evidence and the next decision.

02

Every decision comes back to you.

Clarify ownership, decision rights and escalation so a growing software company can move with less dependence on its founder.

Your first engagement

Start with a Check Up.
Leave with your GamePlan.

A focused advisory diagnosis to understand what is getting in the way and decide what your team should do next.

WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY

A diagnosis connected to action.

  • Constraints identified from conversations and the evidence available.
  • Priorities and trade-offs, including what to defer or stop.
  • Practical next actions, ownership and points for reviewing progress.

Your GamePlan is yours to use with your team, whether or not you continue with Axelerant.

FIXED-FEE CHECK UP

Know the first commitment.

Essentials · €1,500 one-off
For founder-led software companies.

Growth · €3,000 one-off
For structured engineering organizations.

Prices exclude VAT. We agree the question, participants, evidence, timing and scope before work begins.

Explore the Check Up

Speak with us first to check the fit. The Check Up is our usual delivery starting point; the initial conversation does not commit you to a purchase.

Choose your context

Support that fits the organization you lead.

ESSENTIALS / FOUNDER-LED SOFTWARE COMPANIES

Deliver without every decision coming back to you.

For founders and small leadership teams facing recurring delays, unclear ownership and too many decisions at the top.

GROWTH / ESTABLISHED ENGINEERING ORGANIZATIONS

Resolve constraints that cross team boundaries.

For technology leaders aligning teams, dependencies and business expectations around a focused improvement.

After the diagnosis

Put one priority into practice.
Keep learning from what changes.

IMPROVE / FOUR-WEEK SPRINT

Work on one agreed improvement.

Advisory, workshops and practical working materials help your team implement a focused change and review progress.

Essentials · €4,500
Growth · €9,000
Per four-week Sprint, excluding VAT.

Explore the Sprint ↗

CONTINUE / IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP

Keep priorities and action connected.

A scheduled rhythm of guidance, priority review and bounded asynchronous support helps you adapt the GamePlan over time.

Essentials · €1,500/month
Growth · €3,000/month
Initial three-month commitment. Excludes VAT.

Explore the Partnership ↗

Continuing after the Check Up is optional. Your team owns implementation; software development is scoped separately.

How the work gets done

Experience to interpret the evidence.
A plan your team can act on.

GamePlan connects business priorities, organizational practices and technical constraints. We combine conversations, existing delivery data, documentation and technical observations, according to the question and the evidence available.

Our experience and proprietary software support the analysis where relevant. Advisors work with your people to choose actions and review what changes.

Axelerant · Method example

A working GamePlan: evidence to action.

Connect evidence, priorities, ownership and review in one working plan.

    Choose a constraint and make trade-offs.


  3. Act

    Name an owner and test one scoped change.


  4. Review

    Compare outcomes: keep, adapt or stop.

QuestionWhat needs to improve?EvidenceWhat supports the diagnosis?PriorityWhat should happen first?OwnershipWho takes the next step?

Review what changed, then choose the next constraint. Keep reliability and recovery in view.

Illustrative example. Working materials are adapted to the question, the evidence available and the agreed engagement scope.

Continuous Tech Improvement

Your tech organization should get better every week.

Turn engineering insights into meaningful improvement.

The first diagnosis gives you a starting point. A regular rhythm of focused action and review helps you keep improving as priorities and constraints change.
