Swap Slideware for Software

Digital Transformations,

No

Waffle.

Less Powerpoint, More to the Point.

Most consultancies take too long, cost too much and deliver... only 30% of the time*
We skip the slide decks, trim the fat and deliver functional software on average 30% - 50% faster than most using evidence based best practice.

Lean Delivery

Fewer heads, greater ownership and a less anxious CFO

Hands On

We'll design an API in the morning, and take the C-Suite to lunch in the afternoon

Cost-effective

Pay on delivery payment terms*

Design And Lead

One consultant can lead your complex programme, and design the solution to meet your objectives. We're 'Player - Coaches'. Empirical evidence (DORA, CHAOS et al) confirms this is the most effective delivery method. Full Stop.

Conceptual Integrity

We preach conceptual integrity, popularised by Fred Brooks. You get actionable architecture: sequence diagrams, data models, and API specs that developers can actually build from. We design it, and lead it.

Vendor Management

We speak 'developer' and 'C-Suite.' We translate your business goals into technical requirements that suppliers can't misinterpret. We set the technical direction and ensure your vendors follow it, not the other way around.

Using the power of creativity to build better futures

Less Deck, more Deploy.

Evidence-Led Delivery

Every decision backed by DORA, CHAOS, Brooks, and NAO—not opinion or methodology theatre.

Single-Point Conceptual Integrity

One architect from vision to production. No hand-offs, no dilution, significantly less technical debt.

Technical Leadership That Ships

Player-coach who writes sequence diagrams and runs the programme—100 % on-time/on-budget track record.

Zero Lock-In Handover

You own the code, runbooks, and future. We exit cleanly—no retainers, no decks.

How we work

Don't eat the elephant whole

Digital transformation doesn't happen in a 100-slide roadmap or a steering committee. It happens when you empower a small team to ship one working process in 12 weeks.

Technical Authority & Architecture

We provide the "one technical mind" required to shape a coherent system. We ruthlessly consolidate models, kill ambiguity, and ensure the end-to-end system can be drawn on a single whiteboard.

Delivery & Turnaround

We stop the "governance theatre." We implement a "Microscope, not Telescope" approach: identifying one isolated domain, deploying a small team (3-5 people), and shipping a production release in 8-12 weeks.

Repeat (we are Recursive, after all)

We're digital bricklayers. From £2m to £30m, the process is the same, focus on a specific area, design, deliver, test and train. Move on to the next.

Meet the leadership team

Cross functional, experienced and full of can-do attitude.
