Your technology works. But is it delivering what your business needs?
Three formats, depending on your situation. Find the entry point that fits where you are.
Where are you right now?
We don't know if our architecture still holds up.
Decisions made years ago are being questioned, but you lack a reliable external assessment.
We have a diagnosis. Implementation is stalling.
There are recommendations and plans, but in day-to-day work, the team isn't making progress. Someone needs to roll up their sleeves.
Our team uses AI tools, but without structure.
Copilot and similar tools are in play, but results are inconsistent. Guardrails and a clear process are missing.
I'm not a technician and need an honest assessment.
You're responsible for budget or strategy and want to understand where your software development actually stands. No sugarcoating.
Three formats, one goal
Your technology works for your business, not against it. The right format depends on where you are right now.
Architecture Review
An external assessment of your software architecture with a concrete action plan. In 1-5 days.
When it fits
- You need clarity before making major technical decisions.
- Your team has been debating architecture for months without reaching alignment.
- You want an external assessment that isn't tied to internal politics.
What you get
- Evaluation of technology, processes, and team structure – not just code.
- A prioritised action plan with concrete next steps.
- Results presented for both technical and non-technical decision-makers.
Hands-on Support
I work alongside your team temporarily, bringing architecture decisions into daily practice.
When it fits
- You have a plan, but implementation isn't progressing.
- Architecture decisions get lost in day-to-day work.
- You want knowledge transfer, not long-term external dependency.
What you get
- Hands-on work within the team: decisions get implemented, not just documented.
- Knowledge transfer to your developers during the engagement.
- A clean handover so your team can continue independently.
Agentic Coding
AI-assisted development that delivers production-ready code. Not a proof of concept.
When it fits
- Your team is using AI tools, but code quality varies widely.
- You want results from AI-assisted development, not experiments.
- You're missing the guardrails to use AI tools systematically and safely.
What you get
- Production-ready, reviewed code that fits your existing architecture.
- Process and conventions so your team can use AI tools in a structured way.
- Real-world experience instead of vendor demos.
Is Backendhance the right fit?
Not every situation calls for an external software architect. This overview helps you decide.
Good fit
- You build your own software and have a team of 5+ developers.
- You sense that your software development isn't delivering the value your business needs.
- You're looking for an external perspective that considers technology, process, and team together.
- You want more than a report. You want support during implementation.
Not a fit
- You use only off-the-shelf software and need an interim CTO instead.
- You're looking for pure technology consulting with no intent to change.
- You need an audit that confirms existing decisions.
- You're looking for a tool selection or product recommendation.
