TDX · ALIGNMENT ADVISORY
Technology clarity for scaling CEOs. Evidence over decks.
For non-technical CEOs scaling or optimizing a business on technology they can't fully evaluate — whether it's built in-house, outsourced, or run without a CTO. We deliver evidence, scored and senior-validated.
- 0–100 Business-IT Alignment score
- 90-day executive roadmap
- Senior validation on every finding
- Fixed scope. Fixed timeline. Written rationale per finding.
From idea to fundable in four months.
1
Week 1–2
Stress-test the idea.
Kill bad assumptions before we kill 4 months of work. Market sizing, customer pain, timing, competitive risk. If it doesn't survive week 2, we say so.
2
Week 3–6
Talk to 50+ real customers.
Patterns, not opinions. Evidence, not enthusiasm. Founders sit in every interview.
3
Month 2–3
Build the MVP.
Senior team. Real users from week one. Weekly iteration loops. No spec-then-build waterfall.
4
Month 4
Investor-ready, or honest pivot.
Traction signals. Investor-ready data room. Or we tell you the truth and pivot together.
The market changed. The operating model changed with it.

Talent is abundant. Capital is cautious. AI multiplies small teams that have the discipline to use it. The next decade rewards operators, not narrators. We built TDX for that environment.

Architecture review cycles
Every output is human-validated. Every advisory score has a written rationale. Every architecture decision gets peer-reviewed by a senior. AI compresses the work that doesn't need a human. Humans do the work that does.

TRACK RECORD
Most of our team built an embedded-finance platform serving 200+ financial institutions across the US, Canada, and UK — through to its acquisition in 2024 — then stayed to build AI agents on the acquirer's platform.
THE TEAM
Product, design, engineering, QA, and DevOps under one roof, a decade-plus each in financial software.
HOW WE WORK
Every venture and advisory engagement runs on our AI-native methodology: AI agents execute the build cycle from requirements to release, senior engineers decide at every critical gate.
