Barely viable. Deliberately effective.

Adequate is underrated. We help teams ship the simplest solution that actually works, then let real-world feedback decide what deserves more investment.

How we work

Understand the real constraint, design the smallest change that matters, ship it, learn, and then decide if it deserves more investment.

Who we are

A small network of senior practitioners across cyber, cloud, data and delivery who prefer progress over performance theatre.

Hype deflation

Strip out the buzzwords, keep the value. If we can't explain it simply, we don't ship it.

Ship-first mentality

Launch something that works, then iterate with real usage instead of endless internal debate.

Budget reality check

Spend where it changes outcomes; ignore theatre. Nice-to-haves go to the backlog, not the budget.

Industry reality check

Most teams don't fail for lack of ideas. They stall on scope creep, over-engineering and slide-driven decision making. Barely viable is how you get moving without lowering the bar.
