Lornets

When to call us

When the business changes, the engineering question changes.

You do not need to work out which service you need before speaking to us. These are the situations Lornets is designed for and the starting point that usually fits each.

The engineering question changes when the software becomes important.

The software may not have changed at all. What changed is what the business is now asking it to withstand. How the software was created may influence what evidence we examine. It does not determine the conclusion.

Assess first. Keep what works. Change only what the evidence justifies.

  1. 01

    The product has become important to the business

    What began as an MVP or rapidly built product now has real customers, revenue or operational dependency.

    The question being asked: Can we continue depending on this software as it is?

    Where this usually begins

  2. 02

    A serious customer is scrutinising the technology

    An enterprise buyer is asking about security, architecture, resilience, data handling, operational controls or technical commitments.

    The question being asked: Can we substantiate the technical claims we are making?

    Where this usually begins

  3. 03

    Fundraising or technical diligence is approaching

    Management expects investors or advisers to challenge claims about the technology, architecture, scalability, technical debt or AI capability.

    The question being asked: Does the technical reality support what we are about to represent?

    Where this usually begins

  4. 04

    A major rewrite or migration is being proposed

    The organisation is considering a significant rebuild, cloud move, backend replacement, platform transition or architectural decomposition.

    The question being asked: Is the change actually necessary, and what is the smallest justified intervention?

    Where this usually begins

  5. 05

    The system is beginning to show strain

    Incidents, performance problems, difficult deployments, maintenance friction or scaling constraints are becoming material.

    The question being asked: What is actually causing the constraint, and what should be changed?

    Where this usually begins

  6. 06

    An AI use case needs to move into real operations

    The intent is clear, but production requires integration, data access, permissions, evaluation, controls, observability and adoption before the workflow can depend on it.

    The question being asked: Is this use case viable, and what can we actually depend on it to do?

    Where this usually begins

  7. 07

    The organisation needs ongoing production stewardship

    The software continues changing and the business needs continuing technical challenge, assurance maintenance and support around material production changes.

    The question being asked: How do we maintain confidence as the system evolves?

    Where this usually begins

Lornets may not be the right fit if

Lornets is most useful when the software already matters and the organisation needs a defensible technical decision about what happens next.

  • You are still validating whether anybody wants the initial product.
  • You mainly need developers to build a first MVP.
  • You already know exactly what engineering work is required and only need additional coding capacity.
  • You are looking specifically for a penetration test, certification audit or SOC 2 / ISO certification body.
  • The software is non-critical and there is no meaningful commercial or operational consequence if it fails.

Not sure which applies?

Describe what has changed around the product. We will establish the right starting point, which is often an assessment rather than engineering work.
