Partnerships
Partner on the hard part.
Four ways to work on a technology problem, three ways to build something lasting together, and a start that costs nothing but a conversation.
Start a conversation →01 / Engagements
Ways to work together
- 01Weeks, not months
Architecture review
Best whenA platform is straining, a build is about to start, or a big decision is coming.
- Where the real risks are
- Which decisions are expensive to reverse
- A prioritized, practical roadmap
- 02Embedded with your team
Product engineering
Best whenAn idea needs shaping into something buildable, or a product needs to go further.
- Hands-on architecture and delivery
- A working system in real hands early
- A team able to run it afterwards
- 03Staged, never a big bang
Modernization & integrations
Best whenLegacy software holds the business rules, but not the future.
- A migration path that keeps the business running
- Payments, devices and third-party systems connected reliably
- Rules carried across, not lost
- 04One scoped use case first
Practical AI & automation
Best whenThere is a workflow where AI could help, and no clear place to start.
- The right first use case
- Validation and human review built in
- A testable result before wider rollout
02 / Technology partnerships
Building together, beyond a single project
Platform partners
Businesses and agencies that want a proven product under their own name, such as POS, payroll or case management, configured for their market.
Implementation partners
Firms with clients who need serious software delivered, and want an architect who can stand beside their team.
Product co-builds
Founders and organizations with domain expertise and a product idea, looking for the technology side to be done properly.
03 / How it runs
From first call to handover
- 01
Conversation
Goals, constraints and what a good outcome looks like. No pitch, no price list.
- 02
Scoped discovery
A small, defined piece of work to learn the system and de-risk the plan.
- 03
Build in stages
Clear checkpoints, running software and honest status the whole way.
- 04
Handover
Documentation, knowledge transfer and a system the team owns.
- 05
Stay close
Optional ongoing architecture support as the product grows.
04 / Fit
Who this suits, and who it doesn't
A good fit
- Founders turning an idea into a product
- Owners whose software has stopped keeping up
- Technology leaders wanting a second, experienced view
- Agencies and firms looking for a delivery partner
Probably not
- Fixed-price lowest-bidder builds
- Pure staffing with no ownership of outcomes
- Work where speed matters more than soundness
05 / Questions
Before reaching out
Does this involve advising only, or building too?
Both. Architecture and consulting are taken on directly, and larger builds are delivered together with the Zettaz Global team.
Can an early-stage idea be brought in?
Yes. Early decisions shape everything after them, so a short architecture conversation is often the cheapest one available.
Where does the work happen?
From St. Louis, Missouri, with organizations worldwide, in a time zone that suits you.
How is work priced?
Engagements are scoped to the problem after a first conversation, rather than from a generic rate card.
