Halo Lab’s IT consulting starts with a specific question your team needs answered — which architecture to choose, which vendor to select, or which technical direction to take before investment is committed.
We deliver architecture reviews, technology assessments, vendor evaluations, and CTO-level technical advisory — with a clear recommendation and an implementation path your team can act on, not a generic framework report that sits in a drawer.

No framework for vendor
Tools selected on demos and pricing — not evaluated against actual technical requirements.

No senior tech voice
Founder-led tech decisions without senior advisory — expensive mistakes made early.

Late architecture decisions
Stack decisions made after build starts — debt accumulates from the first sprint.

FAQ
Why invest in branding services?
Why invest in branding services?
What does IT consulting include?
Architecture review, technology assessment, vendor evaluation, CTO-level advisory, technical due diligence, toolchain review, security posture review, and an implementation roadmap based on the findings.
What is CTO as a service?
Fractional CTO advisory — senior technical leadership available on a part-time basis for teams that need architectural direction, engineering team structure advice, and technical decision-making support without the cost of a full-time CTO hire.
How long does an IT consulting engagement take?
Most advisory engagements run 1 to 4 weeks depending on the scope of the question — architecture reviews typically 1 to 2 weeks, vendor evaluations 2 to 3 weeks, ongoing CTO advisory on a monthly retainer.
Do you do technical due diligence?
Yes. Technical due diligence for acquisitions, investments, or partnerships — codebase quality, architecture soundness, team capability, and technical debt assessed and reported before any decision is made.
Do you recommend specific vendors?
Yes. Vendor recommendations are specific — we evaluate options against your technical requirements, team capability, and budget, and recommend the best fit with a clear rationale and the trade-offs of alternatives.
Can you review an existing architecture?
Yes. Architecture review is a standalone engagement — we assess the existing system against scalability, maintainability, and security requirements, and deliver a prioritised improvement plan.
Do you work alongside our engineering team?
Yes. Advisory can be structured as embedded engagement — attending planning sessions, reviewing pull requests, and participating in architecture decisions as an ongoing technical partner for your team.
Can you help us prepare for a funding round?
Yes. Technical preparation for fundraising — architecture documentation, technical roadmap, security posture summary, and tech stack justification prepared for investor technical diligence.
Do you offer ongoing IT consulting?
Yes. Ongoing monthly advisory retainers are available — covering architecture reviews, technology decisions, vendor evaluations, and CTO-level input as your product and engineering team grow.
