Services · advisory + product + operations

One method.
Four motions.

Strategic clarity, engineering depth, and operational accountability — held by the same team from discovery to runbook. No handoffs between thinkers and builders.

Scope an engagement
01 · The motions

From the first conversation to the runbook.

Theta Transform is delivered as four overlapping motions, not a relay race. The team that proposes is the team that ships.

01

Analyse

Technical and business architecture review. Benchmarking, TCO modelling, risk posture. The discovery is real work — not pre-sales theatre. If you don't need us, we will tell you.

deliverables
architecture report · TCO model · risk register
cadence
2–6 weeks
level
CTO + senior engineers
Advisory
2–6 wks
Typical duration
Outputs: a decision, not a deck.
02

Design

Target architecture, migration plan, integration maps, service contracts. Every decision traceable to a business outcome. Each diagram is one a senior engineer would defend in a review.

deliverables
target-state arch · migration plan · API contracts
cadence
3–8 weeks
level
principal engineers + product
Design
3–8 wks
Typical duration
Format: co-designed with your team, in your stack.
03

Build

Senior pairs across cloud, AI, GenAI, and integration. The runbook is written before go-live — not after the first incident. Every commit traceable, every dependency owned.

deliverables
working software · CI/CD · runbook · monitoring
cadence
3–12 months
level
senior pairs · embedded
Build
100%
Client owns the IP
Stack: AWS · Android · NDC · GenAI.
04

Operate

24/7 production ownership. SLAs signed pre-launch, MTTR documented, incidents reviewed in the open. We stay until it performs — and we hand over a system your team can run without us.

deliverables
SLAs · MTTR · postmortems · handover plan
cadence
12 months+
level
on-call team · embedded
Operate
99.95%
Availability · contractual
Promise: no lock-in, by policy.
02 · Where we work

Born in travel and transport.
At home in any critical environment.

Theta's roots are in travel and transport technology — real-time inventory, zero-downtime migration, multi-system orchestration, regulated compliance. The rigour we bring is sector-agnostic. The expertise we arrive with is not.

Travel & Mobility

Real-time inventory, NDC distribution, offline-first POS. The terrain we were built on.

★ Primary sector

Transport & Rail

Regulated fare compliance, safety-critical systems, offline-capable field operations.

★ Primary sector

Regulated Industries

"Approximately secure" is not a category. Fintech, insurance, transport — auditable by default.

AI & GenAI in production

Not demos. Production deployments with audit trails, explainability, and the scars to prove it.

03 · How we engage

Three formats. One standard of work.

Whether you need a sharp opinion in two weeks or an embedded team for a year, the operating principles are the same.

Architecture review

Fixed-scope · 2–4 weeks
  • Independent technical & risk assessment
  • TCO model and target architecture
  • Signed-off report, defended in person
  • No obligation to engage further

Talk operations

Bring us a problem.
We'll bring the people.

45-minute discovery call. Response within 48 hours. No sales theatre — an engineering-led conversation about what you're actually trying to build.
