FUNCTION · TECHNOLOGY

You bought SaaS to scale.
Now it is the thing that does not.

Service management, developer platform, observability, security — every internal workflow on a licence charged per user or per host. You do not have to start by replacing one. Start with the work your on-call engineers repeat every incident.

  • You own the code from commit one
  • No per-user or per-host fee
  • Runs on infrastructure you control

Why this domain exists

Every tool solved a problem.
Together they are the problem.

The technology function is the one that buys the most software and owns the least of it. Three forces, none accidental.

The technology function — internal IT, developer experience, service management, observability, security — bought SaaS as the answer to scale, and then SaaS became the constraint. ServiceNow, Atlassian, GitHub Enterprise, Datadog, PagerDuty, Splunk, Snyk: each licensed per user, per host, per repository.

Priced per user, per host

The bill tracks the two things a growing engineering organisation produces: more engineers and more infrastructure. Success in either direction raises the invoice before it raises anything else.

The estate outlives the knowledge

The systems still carrying the business were written by people who have moved on. What the code does is discoverable only by reading it, and nobody has the weeks that would take.

Your runbooks, their platform

The incident knowledge your engineers accumulated lives inside a service-management product, in a shape that product defined — which is exactly what makes leaving it expensive.

STAGE 01Ignite

Start with something your engineers have been asking for.

New agents beside the tools you already run. Nothing retired, nothing migrated — every vendor product keeps doing what it does today. Confidence starts here, in weeks.

Runbook agent

Turns your incident history into a first responder that drafts the diagnosis and the fix for engineer review.

Built on your own incident history and runbooks

Legacy-comprehension agent

Reads the Java and .NET estate and answers what the code actually does, with citations to the code.

Reads the source you already hold, in your own repositories

STAGE 02Reforge

The platform you already run, rebuilt AI-native.

The delivery pipeline, the golden paths and the change record: built by your platform team, licensed back to you. Same logic, modern substrate, every change traceable — every line yours.

IN — what you run today
  • Service management suite
  • Developer platform licences
  • Delivery pipeline subscription
  • Observability platform
  • Security tooling
  • Audit evidence tooling

OUT — what you own afterwards
  • Owned service desk
  • Golden paths you control
  • Pipelines on your own runners
  • Telemetry on open standards
  • Security workflows you tune
  • Change and approval ledger

Product categories are the ones you already run. What comes out the other side is yours — source, models, data and pipeline, transferred on commit one.

Developer-platform rebuild

Service catalogue, scaffolding and golden paths rebuilt on infrastructure your platform team operates, so adding a path is a change they make rather than an add-on they buy.

Rebuilt on your own platform infrastructure

Delivery-pipeline rebuild

Pipelines, artefact management and deployment orchestration on runners you own, so the cost of shipping stops being metered by the minute.

Rebuilt on tooling your platform team already runs

Change and approval ledger

Every change, approval and model call logged with provenance, so evidence for an audit is a query against your own record rather than an exercise in collection.

Built across the delivery systems you already operate

Coverage

Six areas. The same pattern in each.

Wherever the licence is charged per head or per host is where it bites hardest. These are the areas we work in, and what sits inside each.

Service desk & ITSM
  • Ticket triage against your own runbooks
  • Change and incident workflows your team edits
  • On-call approval before anything is actioned
Developer experience
  • Service catalogue and scaffolding on your own infrastructure
  • Golden paths defined by your platform team
  • New paths added as a change, not as an add-on purchase
Delivery & platform engineering
  • Pipelines and artefact management on runners you own
  • Deployment orchestration your engineers can read
  • Build capacity that is infrastructure, not a meter
Observability & incident
  • Logs, metrics and traces on open standards
  • Alerting tuned to your own service levels
  • Incident history retained as your own record
Security workflows
  • Alert triage against your own security telemetry
  • Vulnerability and identity workflows your team tunes
  • Nothing actioned without a security engineer approving it
Change & audit trail
  • Every change and approval logged with provenance
  • Model calls recorded alongside the change they served
  • Evidence answered by query rather than by collection
Platforms this domain replaces
STAGE 03Liberate

The per-seat tools come out. The engineers keep shipping.

Liberation is earned, not sold. By the time we replace a tool your engineers live in, they have watched us build. Then the per-seat licence stops pricing a hire.

The licence ledger

Illustrative

The commercial shape of an internal-technology stack, as a buyer reads it

Basis of charge
Per user, per host, per repository, per build minute. Four different meters across one function, and every one of them counts growth.
Growth condition
A hire and a new service both raise the bill across several products at once. Neither reduction removes the same lines before the term ends.
Tier condition
The capabilities a platform team actually needs frequently sit in the top tier, so the price step is taken for a small part of what the tier contains.
On exit
Runbooks, incident history and pipeline definitions sit inside the vendors' schemas — not in an asset you hold.
Cost of staying————

Shape only — the direction of travel, not a quantity. Your own curve comes from your own renewal schedule.

Illustrative. This is our reading of a commercial pattern common to internal-technology software, not a quotation from any vendor agreement — no contract text, no clause references, no figures.

Owned service desk

Ticket triage, change management and incident workflow rebuilt on your own runbooks, with agents drafting and on-call approving, replacing the suite licensed per agent.

ServiceNow ITSM · Jira Service Management

Owned observability

Logs, metrics, traces and alerting rebuilt on OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, so retention and cardinality become infrastructure decisions rather than billing events.

Datadog · Splunk · New Relic

Owned security workflows

Alert triage, vulnerability management and identity workflows as agents your security engineers tune and approve, rather than add-ons priced per host.

Splunk SOAR · Snyk · Wiz

How it is built

Glass-walled from brief to transfer. Nothing behind a black box.

SAIF is our delivery method and it runs in the open. You watch the build as it happens, read the evals that gate every release, and keep every artefact — including the ones that record what did not work.

  1. 01

    Brief

    One workflow, scoped against your own data and your own renewal position.

  2. 02

    Build

    Agentic delivery against your systems, visible while it runs.

  3. 03

    Evals

    Every release gated on tests you can read and re-run yourself.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Into infrastructure you control, alongside the system it stands beside.

  5. 05

    Transfer

    Your team runs it. We do not leave until they can.

You own it from commit one

Source, models, prompts, evals and pipeline. Not a licence to use what we built — the asset itself.

Two weeks to a working build

A working build against your own systems in two weeks. Fixed scope, fixed bill.

It runs beside the vendor tool first

Nothing is retired on faith. The vendor tool goes when the replacement is carrying the work.

Proof

Not a claim. Terms we sign up to.

Our commitment

Every engagement starts with a scoped working build against your own systems. If it doesn't convince you, you pay nothing — and you keep the code either way.

The ask

Bring the tool that grows with every hire.

Ten working days. Which capability to build first, what the next renewal actually costs, and what owning the replacement takes. You keep the analysis.
