Senior Technical Expertise, Without the Agency Overhead

Whether you need an independent eye on your technology choices or someone to fix how your existing team operates, D-Factor's senior technologists work alongside you — not above you.

Strategic

Expert Eyes on Your Technology — Before You Commit

Our senior technologists and fractional CTOs work with your team to validate technology choices, resolve architectural challenges, and identify what is slowing your product down. Honest assessments, not upsells.

Domain-Specific Depth, Not Generalist Advice

We specialize in FinTech, EdTech, and Applied AI. Our consultants have shipped in these verticals — they understand the compliance constraints, the architectural pitfalls, and the scaling decisions that matter most.

Independent Assessment, No Conflict of Interest

Consulting engagements are scoped independently of team placement. If your current team can solve the problem, we will tell you that. Our incentive is your correct decision, not the largest engagement.

Fractional CTO Access

For companies without a full-time CTO, we provide fractional technical leadership — owning the technology roadmap, mentoring engineering leads, and representing the engineering perspective at leadership level.

1-2 weeks

Architecture Review

A structured assessment of your current system design. We identify risks, bottlenecks, and scalability constraints — and deliver a written findings report with prioritized recommendations.

1 week

Technology Selection

Facing a stack decision — framework, database, infrastructure, or platform migration? We evaluate options against your actual constraints: team skills, budget, timeline, and long-term maintainability.

Ongoing (minimum 3 months)

Fractional CTO

Ongoing technical leadership on a part-time basis. We attend your planning meetings, advise on hiring decisions, represent engineering to investors or board, and mentor your senior team.

Operational

Your Team Has the Talent. Let's Fix How They Work.

We audit your development process, identify the friction points causing missed sprints and delivery slippage, and implement the management frameworks that turn capable developers into a predictable, high-output team.

Independent Audit With No Agenda

We review your sprint cadence, communication patterns, code quality processes, and team structure. You receive a written findings report — specific, prioritized, and actionable — not a pitch for more services.

Hands-On PM Support Available

After the audit, you can engage D-Factor's experienced project managers to implement the recommendations. Ongoing PM support or a one-time intervention — your choice based on what the situation actually needs.

Measurable, Documented Outcomes

We baseline your current sprint predictability, velocity, and delivery metrics before engaging. Every recommendation is tied to a measurable improvement target so you can track the impact.

2 weeks

Development Process Audit

A two-week structured review of your team's workflow, communication, tooling, and delivery patterns. Output: a prioritized findings report with specific, implementable recommendations.

1-6 months

Interim Project Management

A D-Factor project manager embeds with your team to implement process recommendations, stabilize delivery, and mentor your existing PMs. Available as a time-boxed intervention or ongoing support.

Ongoing

Ongoing Delivery Monitoring

Regular review cadence — weekly or bi-weekly — to track velocity trends, surface risks early, and keep delivery predictable. Lighter-touch than embedded PM, more structured than ad-hoc check-ins.

Shared Foundations Across Both Services

Delivered by Senior Practitioners

Every consulting and audit engagement is led by experienced technologists — not junior analysts with a methodology template. Our consultants have built and led engineering teams in production environments.

EU-Based, Internationally Engaged

D-Factor is incorporated in Poland and operates under EU law. Our consulting team works across EU and US time zones. All engagements are covered by EU-compliant NDAs and IP agreements.

No Lock-In, No Minimum Commitment

Consulting engagements are scoped per project. Audit engagements are time-boxed. You engage for what you need and extend only if the value is clear. We do not sell retainers you did not ask for.

How an Engagement Starts

Discovery Call

30-60 min: A conversation with one of our senior technologists. We listen to the situation, ask the uncomfortable questions, and give you an honest first assessment on the spot — before any contract is signed.

Scope Definition

2-3 days: We document the engagement scope, deliverables, timeline, and success criteria. You review and approve. No ambiguity about what you are paying for.

Engagement

Per scope: Work begins. For audits, this involves access to your team, tooling, and documentation. For consulting, it involves structured workshops and async review. Regular check-ins throughout.

Findings and Handover

Final week: You receive a written findings report or recommendations document. We walk through it together and answer questions. For implementation support, we agree on next steps before closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need Consulting or a Team Audit?

If you are making a technology decision — a new stack, a platform migration, an architecture change — that is Consulting. If your team is already in place but delivery is unpredictable, sprints are being missed, or communication is breaking down, that is a Team Audit. If you are not sure, a discovery call will clarify it within 30 minutes.
