Off-the-Shelf Tech North Stars

Hand-crafted, turn-key solution architectures for different project archetypes.

When you struggle to keep the velocity on a project, when you know the tech is lagging behind under you, but you don't know how "good" looks like.

Take one of our packages, drop it into your project or team and spare weeks off from everyones times spent on endless alignment meetings.

Small-scaleAvailable now

Sales funnel

Convince, check out, deliver — the whole path from a landing page to an automated download, as one architecture. User stories, C4 diagrams down to component level, the security architecture around the containers, and the decision records behind every choice you need to make.

€399.00VAT included

Medium-scaleComing soon

Logistics management platform

Warehouse levels, purchase and sales contracts, delivery methods, deadline - manage all from a single convenient admin UI, not from your burdensome Excel that never scaled with you.

Enterprise-scaleComing soon

Current account banking microservices

When scaling is not about the code throughput anymore, but organizational: over dozens of engineers, hundreds of professionals working in your product arm, you need a brand new vision to reclaim velocity and your market leading position.

The value of a Tech North Star

Almost every software project runs over budget and past its deadline, and most of the time it is because nobody shares one picture of what is being built. This is what a Tech North Star fixes.

A record of the decisions that matter

Stop re-litigating all basic technological decisions mid-project and let engineers pick up on the decisions.

Why that language? Which communication/API/integration patterns preferred?

Move your team from endless debates into shipping focus with recorded decisions.

An up-to-date map of the tech landscape

Forget the endless thousands of components on a single architecture diagram, no-one updates those.

Instead, use a top-down, zoom-in approach with C4 model and the smaller, self-contained cuts of the system remain maintainable with low effort.

Context, container and component diagrams communicate clearly even for non-tech stakeholders.

Requirements traced to implementations

No tech for the sake of tech, each decisions tracks from business needs and solutions.

Reason from the customer's viewpoint in the user stories. Solve the requirement and focus on the affected components. Add a new ADR where new rule needed for the system's HOW. Track feedback and analytics, learn and repeat.

Trace each change back to the original need.

One shared mental model for the whole team

It stops them pulling to each individual direction, instead organizational velocity improves.

Engineers are proactive problem solvers, their buy-in is essential for every org avoiding chaos.

Best buy-in won over clear and written reasoning. Challenges have burden to prove a better option.

From: diverging visions

To: one direction

Every engineer has a different expectation of code quality, future functionality and abstractions to be implemented today.

Code merging and deployment becomes more predictable, engineers know what to expect from each other, rework and refactor ratio drops.

Every onboarding engineer has the same questions, why this, why that, and their first real impactful code push doesn't come until weeks later.

Time to first impactful code push drops to days, hours. Thoughtful questions arise early from new onboarding engineers, not the same patterns again and again.

Fixing one bug in one place breaks multiple others or just simply doesn't fix everywhere, your code became a spaghetti with higher maintenance costs.

Fixes applied are permanently fixing the targeted problem at first try.

Months off the start of your next initiative

While you could start from genAI conversations, the mean distribution of their corpus leads to thousands of micro-decisions inherited from the depth of obscure forums.

With a Tech North Star, you can instill guardrails and "what good looks like" from the first prompt. With no months of alignment.

Shave off months of the start of your next initiative: using as a template, kick-off with well-thought out decisions inherited instead of LLM liability.

Requirements

Designed solution

Code changes

Release, deployment

Tech North Star

Quantitative and qualitative info collected informs the next requirements to be delivered (remains deep work).

Process feedback

Enterprise and solution architecture, engineers working out the "how" (this gets 2-3x faster!).

Architecture

Coding, generating, configs, all changes done (this gets 2-10x faster with a high-quality vision!).

Implementation

Highly automated and circumstantial or exploratory testing (automation can improve 3-4x of your velocity!).

CI/CD and QA

Future plans

On the roadmap, not yet in production. Each has a page with a waitlist, and the waitlist is what decides the order they get built in.
