Know what your content architecture needs before you choose the platform
A 2–3 week review that maps your current architecture, identifies the real risks, and gives leadership the evidence to move forward before committing to a platform.
Strategic partner for high-scale brands
This review is for you if
You're evaluating a replatform and need more than a vendor assessment to justify the investment.
Your CMS contract is coming up for renewal
AEM, Sitecore, or Kentico. The cost of staying is starting to outweigh the cost of leaving.
Content is slowing down your business
Slow releases, editor friction, and integration complexity have made content a bottleneck instead of an accelerator.
You're being asked to justify a replatform
Leadership wants a credible, evidence-led case, not a vendor sales deck or an internal hunch.
You've seen replatforms fail before
And you're not willing to repeat the same mistakes, scope creep, governance gaps, and missed migration risks.
What this review is
A structured engagement, not an open-ended consultation
The Content Architecture Review is a 2–3 week scoped engagement. It is not a discovery call. It is not a proposal dressed as advice.
It evaluates your content model, governance, integrations, and delivery workflows and produces a clear, executive-ready output your team can actually use to make a decision.
The engagement
What's included
Modules are selected based on your context. The core diagnostic is always included. Elective modules are added where the risk or complexity warrants it.
CORE | Always included
Current-state diagnostic
Stakeholder interviews, content model audit, integration mapping, and a capability maturity score across reuse, governance, delivery velocity, editorial autonomy, and AI readiness.
01 | Elective
Migration risk assesment
A structured analysis of migration complexity, data integrity risks, and phasing options giving leadership the full picture of what a platform transition involves before committing.
02 | Elective
Content model design sprint
A working session across one domain producing a validated content model prototype your team can use as a reference point for wider implementation decisions.
03 | Elective
Total cost of ownership comparison
A 3-year view of current versus target-state costs across licensing, integrations, maintenance, and team overhead structured for executive decision-making.
