From £2,500

Give your team a build plan they can actually execute.

Before your developers, agency, or agents write a line of code, Canarlo designs the system they need to ship. A production-grade architecture, technical specification and delivery roadmap — scoped, documented, ready to hand over. Fixed scope, clear output, no open-ended consultancy drift.

What you get

Everything in scope, written down.

Every tier delivers real documentation your team can work from — the exact deliverables scale with the tier, the output type stays consistent.

Scope & system design
Technical scope document, system architecture design, recommended stack and tooling.
Data & logic
Data model and schema plan, auth and permissions model, API surface and integration map.
Delivery plan
Feature map with priorities, implementation roadmap and phases, risk register with mitigation notes.
Handover
Acceptance criteria per phase, testing strategy, handover documentation.

How it runs

Plan. Govern. Build. Operate.

The same four stages run every engagement. The service decides the scale, not the method.
