What changes when it is e-commerce
A roadmap that ignores dependency order is a wish list. We sequence by what unblocks what, which frequently reorders the priorities people arrived with.
In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how it has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is search relevance, usually integrated against Shopify, Magento or custom storefronts. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector
How quickly can we see conversion impact?
Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.
Can you fix our catalogue data?
Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.
Do you resell any of the products you recommend?
No. We take no commission from any vendor, and we disclose any relationship that could colour a recommendation. That independence is the product.
Will you also implement it?
We can, and you are not obliged to use us. The advice stands alone, and we would rather you tested it against other quotes.
How long does an assessment take?
Two to four weeks for most organisations. Long enough to be thorough, short enough that findings are still current when you act.
