Is your stack built on quicksand?
Review the information available about vendor dependencies, data portability, scaling constraints and recovery options.
Understand your dependencies
Agree the tools, evidence sources and dependency questions the review will cover.
Vendor risk assessment
Review available vendor documentation and public information. Private finances and future shutdowns cannot be established from those sources.
Lock-in & data portability check
Check documented export options and identify what needs a representative data-recovery trial.
Scaling bottleneck analysis
Map documented quotas, usage billing and integration limits against a stated workload. Unknown capacity needs a separate test.
Replacement recommendations
Compare possible alternatives against your access, portability and workflow requirements, including the costs of switching.
Prioritised questions
Separate documented constraints, open questions and proposed checks so you can decide which dependencies need attention.
Plan a dependency review in 3 steps
Share your current stack
Email me your tool list. Include anything you rely on - hosting, payments, email, analytics, everything.
Agree the review scope
Review the proposed deliverables, exclusions, access requirements, price and payment terms before committing.
Receive the agreed deliverables
Receive the agreed dependency notes and proposed checks on the delivery schedule confirmed in writing.
Don't wait for a tool to shut down to find out
Common questions
What counts as a "risk"?
How do you assess shutdown risk?
Can a review establish that a stack is safe?
Can you help me actually migrate if I need to?
How many tools can I include?
Discuss your stack dependencies
Send an enquiry first. Availability, price and delivery depend on the agreed scope.
