Services

The spark, the crosshair, the frame.

Each pillar takes one part of the mark because each does one job: the light itself, knowing where you are and where you are going, and the frame production has to fit inside. Take one or all three; the same person runs each.

Pillar 01

Process and AI implementation

Teams with a feature idea, a pilot that stalled, or a vendor quote they cannot evaluate.

Shape
A two to six week sprint, fixed scope.
Talk about process and AI implementation

For teams with a feature idea, a pilot that stalled, or an AI vendor quote they cannot evaluate. The work starts with the data you actually have and the failure cases that matter, and ends with a feature that has evals, cost telemetry and a rollback path.

What it covers

  • Process mapping and redesign before anything is automated
  • LLM features on Claude, OpenAI or Bedrock
  • Retrieval, embeddings and evals
  • Document and OCR pipelines
  • Agent-assisted workflow automation

What you get

  • Model and provider recommendation with cost model
  • Evaluation set and pass criteria
  • Production feature with monitoring
  • Handover notes your team can run with

Questions people ask first

Which models do you use?

Whichever fits the task and the budget. Claude and OpenAI most often, Bedrock when the data has to stay in a particular cloud. The provider is a configuration decision, never a lock-in.

What if our data is messy?

It usually is. The first week is spent on the data you actually have and the failure cases that matter, and the evals are written against those before any model is chosen.

Can you work with what a vendor already built?

Yes. The audit covers it, and the honest answer may be to keep it. Oryares is paid for the outcome, not for a rebuild.

Pillar 02

Technical advisory

Founders and operators who need senior technical judgement without a full-time hire.

Shape
Ongoing advice and oversight, scoped to what you need.
Talk about technical advisory

For founders and operators who need senior technical judgement on architecture, vendors, security and delivery without a full-time hire. You get one accountable person who makes the calls in writing and also reads the code.

What it covers

  • Technical audit and 90-day roadmap
  • Architecture, vendor and hiring decisions
  • Code review and delivery cadence
  • Security and POPIA-aware data handling

What you get

  • Technical audit with ranked risks
  • 90-day roadmap and budget
  • Weekly delivery cadence and code review
  • Hiring briefs and interview loops when the time comes

Questions people ask first

How is this different from a consultant who only advises?

An advisor talks. Technical advisory here means reading the code, sitting in the delivery cadence, making architecture and vendor calls in writing, and being accountable for them.

What happens when we hire a full-time CTO?

That is the goal. The handover is a folder: the audit, the roadmap, the decisions and why. Oryares helps interview, then steps back.

Do you work with existing developers?

Yes, and the engagement usually makes them faster: code review, standards and a clear roadmap do more than another pair of hands.

Pillar 03

Product engineering

Businesses that run on spreadsheets, a no-code tool that has hit its ceiling, or a legacy system nobody wants to touch.

Shape
Four to twelve week builds, milestone billing.
Talk about product engineering

For businesses that run on spreadsheets, a no-code tool that has hit its ceiling, or a legacy system nobody wants to touch. Internal tools, portals and integrations built on a stack you can hire for.

What it covers

  • Web applications on Next.js and Node
  • Internal tools, CRMs and portals
  • Auth, payments and integrations
  • Cloud setup on AWS, GCP or Vercel

What you get

  • Scoped build with a shipping date
  • Auth, payments and integrations wired
  • CI, deploys and backups in place
  • Source, accounts and documentation in your name

Questions people ask first

Which stack?

Next.js and Node, Postgres through Supabase or Prisma, AWS or GCP, deployed on Vercel or Render. Boring on purpose: a stack you can hire for and a buyer can read.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit. Repositories, cloud accounts and documentation are in your name.

Can you migrate us off a no-code tool?

Yes. 123tutors was moved off Bubble behind a feature flag with no downtime. The same method applies.
