Engagement snapshot

Fractional lead

"We finally had a plan finance, product, and engineering could rally around."

Who we work best with

LabSevn is a good fit if:

  • You have a product in market (or nearly there).
  • Tech debt, rising cloud costs, or slow delivery are painful.
  • Leadership wants clearer plans, timelines, and risk visibility.
  • You don’t want to hire a full-time CTO or engineering team yet.

If you’re thinking "we’ve outgrown our quick hacks, but we’re not a big engineering org," you’re in the right place.

Problems we fix again and again

Cloud & reliability

"Cloud costs are climbing and nobody can explain why."

You see: bills grow every month, outages are awkward to explain, dashboards don’t match finance.

What we do:

  • Map where money is going
  • Add clear dashboards and guardrails
  • Set simple rules for scaling and environments

Result: Predictable spend, fewer surprises, and a story your CFO and board understand.

Delivery speed & quality

"Shipping changes feels risky and slow."

You see: releases are manual, testing is inconsistent, everyone is nervous on deploy day.

What we do:

  • Introduce automated pipelines and checks
  • Standardise how services are built and deployed
  • Make “what’s going out when” visible to leadership

Result: Faster, safer releases that don’t hijack your week.

Product & roadmap clarity

"We have ideas, but no clear plan."

You see: a long list of “must-haves” from sales, support, and leadership with no prioritisation.

What we do:

  • Turn requests into a realistic roadmap
  • Quantify impact, risk, and effort
  • Align tech work with revenue and customer outcomes

Result: One plan everyone can point at—from engineers to the board.

How we help (without you hiring a full-time team)

Plays you can start quickly

Each engagement combines architecture, delivery leadership, and hands-on build. We can own delivery across products, internal tools, integrations, or cloud migrations—you get both a plan and real progress, not just a slide deck.

Need a solution architecture step before hiring a build partner? We map the design, costs, and cloud plan, then hand over clear documentation other teams can execute.

See recent outcomes

Fix the foundation so growth doesn’t break you

A 4–6 week sprint to untangle legacy systems, stabilise the core, and give you a clear path forward.

What’s included:

  • Map revenue-critical flows and failure points
  • Design a target architecture your team can reach
  • Prioritised backlog your engineers (or ours) can execute

Ideal for: SaaS teams preparing for bigger customers, audits, or new product lines.

Make every release boring (in a good way)

We set up pipelines, monitoring, and runbooks so deployments stop being a fire drill.

What’s included:

  • CI/CD pipelines (automated build/test/deploy) configured for your stack (.NET & Azure)
  • Monitoring and alerting mapped to business impact
  • Runbooks so incidents don’t depend on one hero engineer

Ideal for: Teams scaling headcount or entering regulated markets.

An honest health check on your platform

Independent assessment of where your platform stands—risk, spend, and upside—explained in business language.

What’s included:

  • Scorecard across reliability, security, and delivery speed
  • Clear explanation of trade-offs and options
  • Executive-ready report plus Q&A session with leadership

Ideal for: Board updates, fundraising, diligence, or new tech leadership.

Client results

Real work, real numbers. Here are examples of what changed for customers, revenue, and teams after we got involved.

Healthcare SaaS

Connected care launch

Challenge: Needed to onboard hospital partners without risking PHI.

Approach: Mapped intake journey, added zero-downtime deployments, and built audit-ready API gateways (secure entry points for your system).

Result: First enterprise deal signed in 45 days, 99.95% uptime, security review passed on first attempt.

Operations platform

Cost transparency for COO

Challenge: Cloud budget doubled YOY with no shared view of levers.

Approach: Built live cost dashboards, auto-scaling policies, and a playbook for finance and engineering standups.

Result: 32% lower monthly spend and CFO-approved runway plan.

B2B marketplace

Real-time data handshake

Challenge: 24-hour data lag created support escalations.

Approach: Introduced event-driven architecture (real-time events instead of nightly batches), resilient retries, and executive dashboards.

Result: Updates now land in under 2 minutes and support tickets dropped 40%.

About LabSevn

Product-minded engineering leadership without the overhead.

LabSevn is led by a principal engineer and solution architect with 12+ years building .NET and Azure platforms for B2B SaaS, financial services, and industrial IoT.

I sit between product, engineering, and the board: I speak "roadmap" and "runway" with leadership, "incidents, pipelines, and tech debt" with engineers, and turn it into a plan everyone can follow. This is not just advice—I design the plan and help your team (or mine) implement it.

Think of LabSevn as a fractional cloud & product partner: senior experience, without the full-time headcount. Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect.

How working together feels

No long-term lock-in. We start small, prove value, then decide what’s next.

  1. Quick intro

    20–30 minutes

    We talk through goals, constraints, and time pressure. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll say so.

  2. Assessment & options

    3–5 days

    Short summary of what’s going on, with 2–3 ways we can tackle it (including “do nothing” if that’s valid).

  3. Sprint or engagement

    4–8 weeks

    Execute the agreed plan: regular check-ins, visible progress, and clear metrics.

  4. Hand-over or ongoing support

    As needed

    Documentation and training so your team can run with it, plus optional fractional support if you want continued leadership.

Engagement models

From focused workshops to multi-month builds, we right-size the approach to your roadmap.

  • • Fixed-scope sprints for clarity and quick wins
  • • Small, focused engineering teams for sustained delivery
  • • Fractional leadership or advisory retainers

We’ll align on budget, timelines, and staffing during discovery. We’re flexible on size and honest if another partner is a better fit.

FAQ

Quick answers for busy leaders

If something is not covered here, mention it in the form or email and we will tailor the engagement.

Do you replace our engineers?

Only if you want us to. We normally augment or lead a workstream, but we can embed as contract engineers to close talent gaps while keeping ownership with your team.

Can you work with agencies or vendors?

Yes. We often partner with product, design, or data vendors and act as the technical lead who keeps everyone aligned—even when the engagement is structured as a multi-month contract.

What if we only need advice?

Fractional advisory retainers are available after a short engagement, and we can spin those up alongside contract execution so leadership keeps a single point of accountability.
