# Business Consulting Strategic business consulting and SDLC assessment. --- ## How to engage FreedomDev for Business Consulting The path to a structured SDLC assessment, technical due diligence, or vendor selection engagement. 1. **Define the question** — Whether it is a buy-vs-build decision, vendor selection, or pre-acquisition technical due diligence, the engagement starts with a written question and decision deadline. 2. **Discovery interviews and artifact review** — We talk to your engineers, read the relevant code and infrastructure documentation, and capture the constraints — budget, team skill, timeline — that shape the answer. 3. **Findings and recommendation** — You receive a written report with findings, options ranked against your constraints, and a single recommended path with the reasoning behind it. 4. **Decision support and execution hand-off** — We stand behind the recommendation through the decision meeting and, if you proceed, hand off cleanly to the team that will execute (yours or ours). --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How is your consulting different from big firms? Our consultants are practitioners who write code daily, not career consultants with slide decks. You get actionable recommendations backed by hands-on implementation experience. ### Do you provide written deliverables? Yes. Every engagement produces documented findings, prioritized recommendations, architecture diagrams, and an implementation roadmap. These are yours to keep regardless of who does the implementation. ### Can you help us evaluate build-vs-buy decisions? Absolutely. We assess your requirements against available off-the-shelf solutions and provide an objective comparison factoring in total cost of ownership, timeline, flexibility, and risk. ### What does a typical consulting engagement look like? Most start with a 2-4 week discovery sprint: stakeholder interviews, system assessments, data analysis, and competitive benchmarking. We deliver a findings report and action plan you can execute immediately. --- **Canonical URL**: https://freedomdev.com/services/consulting _Last updated: 2026-05-14_
