Giroteam / Solutions
§ The catalogue

Six disciplines.
One way of working.

Most of our work falls into one of six shapes. The boundaries blur in practice — a custom build often arrives with integration, automation, and a piece of strategy attached. Pick the one that's closest to your problem and we'll calibrate from there.

§ 01 / The through-line

Six labels.
One operating principle —
senior hands
on the work.

Whichever discipline you start in, the engagement runs the same way. One senior architect owns the project end-to-end. Specialists from a trusted network join per phase, then step back when their craft isn't needed. No account managers, no junior teams hidden behind a logo, no bench cost passed through.

Always

Senior-led, named

The same person on day one as on day 180.

On demand

Specialists, per phase

Frontend, backend, DevOps, design, data, QA.

Structural

No middle layer

You talk to the builder. Always.

§ 01 Build

Custom Software
Development

SaaS platforms, ERPs, CRMs, and bespoke systems — built around your operation, not a vendor's roadmap. The thing your business becomes.

From discovery brief to production hand-off
Two-week build cycles, demoable from week four
Code is yours · no licensing, no lock-in
Tiers
Sprint · Build · Operate
Lead time
2–24 wk
§ 02 Automate

Workflow
Automation

Replace manual steps with reliable, silent infrastructure. The plumbing your team needed yesterday — durable enough to forget about.

End-to-end process redesign before any code
Event-driven flows, monitored, replayable
No brittle no-code spaghetti — production-grade
Tiers
Audit · Build · Operate
Lead time
2–12 wk
§ 03 Connect

System
Integration

Make every tool in your stack speak the same language. APIs, ETL, event buses, data contracts — the invisible glue that holds an operation together.

Single source of truth across CRM, ERP, finance
Data contracts & idempotent pipelines
Replaces brittle webhooks with durable plumbing
Tiers
Map · Wire · Operate
Lead time
3–10 wk
§ 04 Scale

Cloud &
Infrastructure

Scalable foundations designed for predictable growth — chosen for fit, not fashion. AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Cloudflare — picked for the workload in front of us.

Infrastructure-as-code · Terraform / CDK
Observability, cost shape, recovery rehearsed
No vendor lock-in beyond what's necessary
Tiers
Audit · Migrate · Operate
Lead time
2–16 wk
§ 05 Decide

AI & Intelligent
Automation

Judgement-class automation for the work that actually moves the business — measured on the cost-of-being-wrong, not on demo theatre.

Honest readiness audit before any model spend
Right-sized models · DistilBERT to Claude
Guardrails, monitoring, fallback paths native
Tiers
Audit · Build · Steward
Lead time
3–14 wk
§ 06 Plan

IT Consulting &
Architecture

Strategic design before a single line of code is written. Often the most valuable work we do — and sometimes the only work you'll need.

Written brief · architecture · TCO model
Stress-tested by a second senior architect
~ 1/3 of clients stop here, brief in hand

Brief · Architecture · CTO
Lead time

§ 03 / Picking the right one

Not sure which
discipline fits your
problem?

Most engagements start with the wrong label and end up somewhere more useful. Here's a rough map — match the symptom on the left to the likely shape on the right.
"Our operation runs on Notion, Excel, and tribal knowledge — and it's starting to fail."
"Half my team's day is copy-pasting between systems that should talk."
"We have all the tools — none of them know about each other."
"Our cloud bill keeps growing and we're not sure why — or whether we'd survive an outage."
"I keep hearing 'AI'. What's actually worth building and what's noise?"
"We need to make a build-vs-buy call — and we want a senior view that isn't trying to sell us something."

↪ Still unsure? Send the brief. We'll suggest the shape on the first reply — and won't take an engagement that isn't the right fit.

§ 04 / Method

Whichever discipline,
the same four phases.

We run every engagement through the same arc. Tight at the start, careful in the middle, unhurried at the end.

Phase 01 — 2 weeks

Diagnose

We sit with the team, watch the work, and document what's really happening. Output: a written brief you keep.

Phase 02 — 2–4 weeks

Architect

Systems design, data model, integration map, build sequence. Decisions made on paper before they get expensive in code.

Phase 03 — 2–6 months

Build

Two-week cycles, demoable from week four. Senior hands only — no outsourced delivery.

Phase 04 — ongoing

Operate

We stay on as the system grows: tuning, evolving, transferring knowledge — until you no longer need us.

We'll point you at
the right shape.

Send a few honest sentences about the work. We'll reply within a working day with the discipline we'd start in — and an honest read on whether we're the right team for it.
