Thirty minutes with an engineer, not a salesperson.

Tell us what is stuck. We will tell you what we would do first, what we would not bother with, and whether we are the right people for it at all.

No deck. No discovery sequence. A straight answer, including “not yet”.

What happens on the call

Thirty minutes, in this order
You describe what is stuck — a review you cannot pass, a pilot that will not ship, a bill that has crept, or a team that needs to get good at this
We ask the awkward questions — who owns it, what it touches, and what happens when it breaks
We say what we would do first, and in what order
We tell you whether AWS funding may apply to the work — at AWS's discretion, never guaranteed
You get a straight go or no-go — including “don't do this yet” when that is the honest answer
If it is not a fit, we say so on the call rather than in a follow-up three weeks later.

What we are likely to talk about

Four problems, and most calls start with one of them.

“It will not pass review.”

Identity, segmentation, encryption, logging and alerting — engineered as code in your repositories, then attacked by us before anyone else tries.

“Our pilot never shipped.”

One process, built, broken, secured and handed over running in production, with the evidence pack your security team needs.

“Our team has not shipped one.”

Hands-on workshops in your own codebase. Your engineers build an agent, attack it, harden it, and keep everything they wrote.

“We don't know what matters most.”

Start with the free Well-Architected Review instead. One workload, six pillars, a ranked fix list, and no fee.

We didn't read about this. We shipped it.

tMinus1 built Automatum — multi-tenant SaaS, metered billing, marketplace integrations across AWS, Azure and GCP. 80+ software companies run their marketplace revenue through it, with $120M+ transacted, and we still operate it.

Questions → Answers

Who will I actually speak to?

An engineer who builds and operates these systems. There is no qualification call first, and no handover to a second person before you get a technical answer.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. Bring the problem in your own words. If you have an architecture diagram it helps, and if you do not, we will sketch one on the call.

Will you quote on the call?

We will tell you the shape of the work and what drives its cost. A real number follows once we have seen enough to stand behind it, because a quote made from a thirty-minute description is a guess.

Can AWS fund part of the work?

It may. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner we can apply for proof-of-concept funding on qualifying projects, and we will tell you on the call whether yours is likely to qualify. Funding is at AWS's discretion and is never guaranteed.

What if we are not ready to buy anything?

That is a normal outcome and a fine one. Take the free Well-Architected Review instead — one workload, six pillars, a ranked fix list, and no fee.

Ready when your security team is.
