Five ways in.

All of them end with you not needing me. They differ in how deep the engagement goes, and how much of the work is mine versus your team's.

Engineering & Quality Assessment

A structured review of how your team builds, tests and ships — and what's costing you most.

A fixed-scope review of how work actually flows through your team, from the moment something is decided to the moment it reaches a customer. I look at the evidence rather than the process documentation, and I tell you what is genuinely costing you — which is rarely the thing people expect.

Who it's for

You suspect something is wrong but can't name it precisely
You're about to invest in tooling and want to know if that's the real constraint
A new engineering leader needs an honest baseline they didn't write themselves

Engineering Transformation

Rebuilding how work gets planned, split and handed over, so quality stops being something you inspect for at the end.

Most quality problems are structural. They live in how work is planned, split and handed over — not in how carefully it is checked at the end. This is the engagement that changes those structures, working alongside your team rather than presenting at them.

Who it's for

You already know roughly what's wrong and need help actually changing it
Previous improvement pushes started well and quietly faded
Your team is willing but nobody has the time to lead the change

Fractional Head of Quality

Senior quality leadership a few days a week, for teams that need the judgement but not yet the headcount.

Quality leadership without the full-time hire. I take on the decisions a Head of Quality would own — strategy, standards, hiring, and the awkward trade-off calls — for a couple of days a week, and I build towards the point where you no longer need the role filled from outside.

Who it's for

Quality currently depends on one or two people and that's becoming a risk
You need the seniority now but can't justify the salary yet
You're about to hire for the role and want it defined properly first

Coaching & Capability

Working directly with your engineers until the practice holds without me. This is the part that outlasts the engagement.

The part that outlasts the engagement. I work directly with your engineers — pairing, reviewing, running sessions on real work — until the practice holds on its own. If your team is no better at this when I leave, the engagement failed regardless of what else got delivered.

Who it's for

You want your team to get better, not just get audited
Good practice exists in one corner of the team and won't spread
You've bought training before and nothing changed the following month

AI Enablement

Embedding AI into how your team tests and assures quality, without handing it judgement it hasn't earned.

Most "AI in testing" efforts start with a tool and stall at a pilot. This is the engagement that starts with your test process — what's manual, what's brittle, what's actually worth AI's help — and builds the practice and the guardrails your team needs to trust it enough to keep using it.

Who it's for

Your team is experimenting with AI testing tools ad hoc, with no shared standard or review process
You want AI to speed up testing without losing coverage, judgement, or trust in the results
Leadership is asking "what's our AI strategy for quality" and nobody owns the answer

The method

The Brunt Way™

Five stages. Every engagement, every time. Every engagement above runs through it.

Discover

Understanding what you actually build, and how the work really flows.

Assess

Where the real constraints are — in the process, the tooling, the structure, or the habits.

Prioritise

Deciding what to fix first, and being honest about what to leave alone.

Enable

Making the change with your team, not to them.

Sustain

Making sure it holds after I leave.
