Cut through the technology confusion holding your circular business back

A fixed-price offer for circular economy businesses that need an honest, expert view of their technology situation; what to keep, what to replace, what to build and what it will cost.

From £1,250. No open-ended commitment.

Is this you?

You have real customers and real operations, but the technology side is starting to hold you back. Maybe one of these sounds familiar:

Maybe one of these sounds familiar:

  • "We have customers and orders but we're managing everything in spreadsheets and it's starting to crack under the pressure."
  • "We have a platform in place but it doesn't quite fit how our circular model actually works, and working around its limitations is costing us time and money."
  • "I know we need a better solution but I have no idea whether to buy something off the shelf, customise an existing tool, or build something custom, and I can't afford to get it wrong."
  • "I'm spending more time on operational firefighting than on growing the business or focusing on the mission."
  • "I'm worried that as we grow, one mistake in our manual process will cause a serious problem with a customer or partner."
  • "I've had conversations with developers and software companies but I don't have the technical knowledge to evaluate what they're telling me or trust their recommendations."

If any of those sound familiar, Circular Tech Clarity is designed for exactly this moment.

What you get

  • A clear build versus buy recommendation based on your specific operations and circular model, so you stop going in circles on the decision.
  • A shortlist of relevant platforms or tools to evaluate if an off-the-shelf solution is the right path.
  • A realistic indication of time and cost if a custom build or customisation is needed, so you can plan with confidence
  • A prioritised view of your most urgent operational technology needs, so you know what to tackle first.
  • Confidence to have informed conversations with developers, platforms or investors about your technology roadmap.
  • The benefit of a team that already understands circular business models; you don't have to explain the context, and we bring our own circular economy expertise to complement yours.

How it works

  1. Book a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll understand your operations, your pain points and your goals, and tell you honestly whether this is the right fit.
  2. Session one: a structured deep-dive into your current operations, processes and technology situation.
  3. Session two: we present initial findings, explore options together and stress-test recommendations.
  4. You receive a clear written output with recommendations, options and next steps within 2 days.
  5. If it makes sense to continue working together, we can discuss next steps; but there's no assumption or obligation either way.

The standard Circular Tech Clarity engagement covers most businesses well. If your operations are more complex or you need a deeper dive, we can scope an extended version; we'll agree that upfront with no surprises.

We work exclusively with circular economy businesses. That means we already understand the operational complexity of circular models; the reverse logistics, the asset tracking, the customer lifecycle differences from a linear business. You don't have to explain why your operations are more complicated than a standard ecommerce shop

We're also honest about what we recommend. We won't suggest a custom build if an existing platform will do the job. Our goal is the right answer for your business, not the most expensive one.
