CASE STUDIES

How we work

We help leadership teams make sane technology decisions and execute them properly. The goal is simple: build systems that scale without collapsing — without unnecessary disruption.

What clients hire us for

—A roadmap that matches reality.
—Architecture direction you can trust.
—Delivery that stops restarting.
—Infrastructure that won't become a bottleneck.
—Reliability practices that reduce operational pain.

How we engage

Advisory

We guide. Your team executes. Best when you need clarity and steering.

Embedded

We join your team to drive outcomes with you.

Managed

We own delivery for an agreed scope and outcome.

What happens in an engagement

We clarify the real problem, constraints, and what success actually means.

We map what exists, what's risky, and what's slowing you down.

We present options, trade-offs, and a clear recommendation.

We agree on phases, ownership, milestones, and how decisions will be made.

We ship in controlled slices, keeping risk visible and progress measurable.

We leave you with systems your team can run: documentation, guardrails, and clarity.

How we make decisions

—Prefer reversible decisions early.
—Optimize for durability, not perfection.
—Reduce risk before adding speed.
—Document trade-offs. No hidden decisions.
—The simplest solution that works wins.

What you get

Direction & planning

Technology roadmap (priorities + sequencing).
Architecture direction (with clear trade-offs).
Decision notes (why we chose this approach).
Risk register (what can go wrong, and what we're doing about it).
Milestone plan (what ships, when, and why).
Requirements package (right-sized to your context).

Delivery & operations

CI/CD baseline improvements (safer releases).
Observability baseline (monitoring/logging/alerts that teams actually use).
QA strategy (risk-based, not bloated).
Runbooks & escalation map (who does what when things break).

How we keep delivery calm

We run a simple rhythm: clear ownership, clear updates, and no surprises.

—Weekly progress updates that highlight decisions, risks, and next steps.
—A decision log so important calls don't live in someone's head.
—Early escalation paths when something is blocked.
—Stakeholder alignment without endless meetings.

Our reliability baseline

We're not dogmatic. But we do insist on a baseline that prevents avoidable pain.

A clear Definition of Done.
Risk-based testing (test what can hurt you most).
Release readiness checks before production.
Monitoring in place before go-live.
Incident readiness: roles, escalation, and fast recovery.
Security hygiene applied practically (not theatre).

Modernization without drama

We don't rebuild for ego. We stabilize first, then modernize in slices.

Stabilize→Slice→Validate→Roll out

—Stabilize the hotspots before touching everything.
—Minimize blast radius with phased changes.
—Avoid big-bang rewrites unless unavoidable.
—Keep the business running while systems improve.

Where our work tends to land

Purpose

Define direction and make the right bets.

When this is needed

Priorities are unclear, architecture direction is shaky, leadership and engineering aren't aligned.

What you get

Strategic technology roadmap
Target architecture direction
CTO-level decision support

Outcome

Clear decisions, fewer false starts, reduced long-term risk.

Who does what

Area	CharCentric	Client leadership	Client engineering
Strategy decisions	Recommend, facilitate	Decide, own	Input
Architecture direction	Propose, document	Approve	Implement, feedback
Delivery ownership	Lead or support	Govern	Execute with us
Implementation	Hands-on when embedded	—	Primary or joint
Approvals	—	Own	Technical sign-off
Access & environments	Request	Approve	Provide
Stakeholder comms	Contribute	Own	Input
Support handover	Document, train	Own ongoing	Run ongoing

FAQ

Typically $250K+.

Sometimes, when scope and constraints are stable. Otherwise we prefer phased delivery.

Yes. Often that's the fastest path.

We'll validate it, surface risk, and improve it pragmatically.

We estimate in phases, based on constraints and risk—not wishful thinking.

Yes, when needed, with clear ownership and response expectations.

Sometimes, when incentives and scope are clear.

If you're investing seriously in technology, we should talk.

Tell us what you're trying to achieve. We'll be direct about fit and propose the simplest path that gets you real leverage.
