Getting an independent review of your composable or headless architecture
Fidget Labs runs the Architecture Review for mid-market and enterprise teams that want an independent read on a composable, headless, or agentic architecture before more budget goes in: two weeks, €7,500 or $10,000 fixed. We score it on five pillars (Composable, Connected, Incremental, Open, Autonomous), rank the risks, and hand over a prioritized roadmap. The fee is credited in full against Stalled Program Rescue, Platform Selection, or the AI Impact Audit if one starts within 90 days.
You are probably here because
- A decision worth six figures is on the table and nobody senior enough to make it is on the program
- Your integrator designed the architecture and is also the one telling you it is fine
- The board or procurement wants a second opinion before the next phase is funded
- RFPs now ask whether an AI agent can use your platforms safely, and nobody can answer
What we do
- Read the architecture, integrations, and backlog, and talk to the people building it
- Score it against five pillars, benchmarked, with the evidence written down
- Rank the risks by what they will cost you if left alone
- Hand over a roadmap your team can start on, in a 90-minute walkthrough
How you can engage us
Architecture Review
€7,500 or $10,000 · 2 weeks
You are inside a live program and need a technical decision diagnosed before you spend more.
Scope and termsFixed priceStalled Program Rescue
€12,500 or $17,500 · 2 weeks
Your program is behind, the integrator is still billing, and the decisions that would unblock it are architectural.
Scope and termsFixed pricePlatform Selection
€15,000 or $20,000 · 4 weeks
You have to choose a platform, stack, or model, and every firm advising you has a reason to prefer an answer.
Scope and termsWhere we have done this
- NVA: 1,000+ veterinary practice sites on one governed headless platform, 85% faster
- Trimble: a stalled engagement re-ignited into $1.8M of expanded scope
- Avoiding headless heartache: the failure patterns we look for first
Questions
How much does an independent architecture review cost?
€7,500 or $10,000 fixed for two weeks, remote. It is credited in full if a main engagement follows within 90 days, so if the work proceeds the review was free.
Will you recommend replacing our integrator or platform?
Only if the evidence says so, and it rarely does. We provide architecture, not delivery, and earn nothing from any platform, so we have no reason to push a change.
Who does the review?
Kerrigan Baron, CTO of Fidget Labs, who has led enterprise composable delivery for organizations including NVA, Trimble, and J.P. Morgan Chase.
