Fight the Hidden Margin Erosion Inside Your Technology Platform
The technology that got you to product-market fit is now working against you. Margins shrink, the platform breaks at the worst times, and engineering delivers less despite mounting spend.
We embed inside your organization to diagnose and remediate the systemic technical problems that leak profitability and value across your entire software lifecycle. Then we exit, and your people carry it forward.
When the Technology That Got You Here Starts Holding You Back
Companies that have built their business around a technology platform hit a wall where the very technology that got them to product-market fit starts working against them. Operating partners, CTOs, portfolio company leaders, and founder-led technology teams turn to Aligned when:
- Margins keep shrinking and no one can clearly explain where the money is going.
- The platform keeps breaking at the worst possible times, eroding customer confidence.
- Engineering works harder than ever yet delivers less, with nothing visible to show for mounting spend.
- Risks lurk under the surface that leadership cannot see today.
- A growing disconnect between what leadership is told about the technology and what is actually happening.
- Growth has hit a ceiling no one can fully explain.
- One or two key people leave and the whole operation grinds to a halt.
- Getting anything into customers' hands takes weeks instead of days.
How We Help - Diagnose and Fix What Is Leaking Value
The speed and stability with which a company delivers software are among the strongest predictors of its business performance and valuation. Most leadership teams cannot measure or fix either one. That is exactly the gap we close.
- Systemic Risk Diagnostics.Surface hidden structural fragility, compliance gaps, and margin-draining inefficiencies. Map technical debt directly to financial risk and valuation impact.
- Platform Remediation & Hardening.De-risk your platform with phased, disruption-free re-architecting that eliminates security risks, improves margins, and builds scalable architecture.
- Margin Expansion & Exit Readiness.Unlock EBITDA by removing the operational drag and cost inefficiencies that compress profitability. Position technology as a valuation driver.
- Embedded Execution & Team Enablement.Work shoulder-to-shoulder with your engineers, continuously upskilling them to own and evolve the platform after we exit.

What Makes Us Different
We Speak Plain Language at the Leadership Level
No jargon-laden status reports. We translate what is actually happening inside the technology into blunt, clear business terms your board, your operating partners, or your executive team can act on.
Practitioners, Not Theorists
We get into the codebase, the pipelines, the architecture, and the team dynamics. We bring your engineers with us every step of the way. We model it, your team learns it, and when we leave they own it.
We Embed, Not Advise
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with your team. Not to do the work for them, but to elevate their ability to do it themselves. We are not arms-length consultants who hand over a slide deck and disappear.
You Will Get the Truth
About your platform, your processes, and your people. If something is structurally broken, we will say so, plainly and early. We look leadership in the eye and tell them what is really going on.
We Build to Leave
Our engagement is designed to end. We systematically upskill your existing engineers so your team owns the platform. No long-term dependency, no lock-in.
It Is Personal
When you engage us, we behave like our livelihood depends on your outcome, because it does. We are not running a bench model looking for the next placement. Your growth, your timeline, your team: that is what we are measured by.
“We partnered with Aligned to assess our technology stack and co-create a strategic roadmap aimed at maintaining Aspire as the leading EHR solution for chiropractors and allied health professionals. They swiftly identified critical areas for improvement and designed an ambitious plan to accelerate innovation while enhancing performance, scalability, and cost efficiency - achievements many other providers dismissed as unattainable or overly complex. Remarkably, Aligned delivered results in under six months and within budget, all without disrupting our ongoing operations. Their expertise not only transformed our platform but also positioned us for sustainable growth. Today, they continue to support us as we fulfill our commitment to clients with a modernized foundation built for the future.”
