Frequently Asked Questions
How does the team extension model work?
You identify a capability gap in your team — a specific technology skill, domain expertise, or additional capacity for a time-bound programme. We provide one or more experienced consultants who embed with your team, working within your processes. IR35 status is determined on a case-by-case basis for each engagement, reflecting the specific nature of the work, the degree of professional autonomy involved, the deliverable structure, and the contractual arrangements in place. You retain full control, visibility, and intellectual property ownership throughout the engagement.
What types of specialists can you provide for financial services projects?
Our specialist consultants cover card payment platform engineers with hands-on experience in OpenWay Way4, ACI Base24, TSYS Prime, and BPC SmartVista; Rust developers for high-performance financial systems; core banking integration engineers; database administrators for Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL; security and compliance specialists covering PCI DSS, DORA, and FCA requirements; business analysts with fintech domain expertise; and solution architects. Each specialist brings deep domain experience accumulated across multiple client engagements in regulated financial services.
What is the minimum engagement duration and how quickly can you mobilise?
Engagements are typically structured for a minimum of six months to allow sufficient time for a specialist to scope their contribution, establish working patterns, and deliver meaningful outcomes. Most engagements run six to eighteen months depending on programme scope. Mobilisation for most specialist profiles takes two to four weeks. All specialists engage under clearly defined statements of work that set out scope, deliverables, and the basis of the independent professional relationship.
What is the difference between team extension and outsourcing?
Outsourcing transfers ownership and management of a function to a third party. Team extension brings independent specialist professionals into your programme on a business-to-business basis — each operating with professional autonomy, using their own methods and exercising their own judgement, while working towards outcomes aligned with your programme objectives. Unlike permanent employment or managed service arrangements, specialists are engaged for defined scopes of work and retain the right to substitute appropriately qualified professionals where needed. This model provides flexibility and specialist depth while maintaining a genuine arm’s-length commercial relationship.
How do you ensure knowledge transfer at the end of an engagement?
Knowledge transfer is scoped as a defined deliverable within the statement of work from the outset — not treated as an afterthought. Specialists document their work, contribute to technical documentation, and deliver structured handover outputs as part of their professional obligations under the engagement. The scope and format of knowledge transfer deliverables are agreed upfront, ensuring your organisation retains full capability and documentation ownership after the engagement concludes. Where appropriate, specialists can provide structured technical briefings to your permanent team as a discrete, separately scoped deliverable.
