What we measure
Your entire tech and AI function, audited the way a top CTO would
Six assessments, each with a score out of 100, a dashboard and a clear set of actions.
Also on the platform
StackUp is for organisations worth scaling and protecting ($5m+ revenue).
How it works
Three steps to confident technology decisions
StackUp gathers the facts from three angles.
See where you stand and what the gaps are worth.
Turn findings into tracked progress.
On the platform you run these steps yourself. In a Sprint, a senior CTO runs them with your leadership team. See how the Sprint runs.
What you get
Evidence-backed confidence in your entire tech and AI function
No more hidden dangers. No more wasted spend. No more guesswork.
A score your board can interrogate
Every answer backed by evidence and analysed by AI, then benchmarked against organisations like yours. Findings that hold up in the boardroom.
- Technology health and AI maturity, assessed independently
- An evidence vault behind every finding
- Peer benchmarking against comparable organisations
- A board and exec-ready PDF report
Every gap priced in dollars
StackUp models what closing each gap is worth to your organisation, then turns the findings into a plan your team can track. You know what to fix first, and what it earns you.
- The annual value of closing each gap, by category
- AI discovery agents that interview your front line
- A prioritised action plan, tracked to done
- A vetted network of independent experts when you want hands-on help
Why StackUp
Everything a consulting review should have been
Fixed price, evidence first, and independence you can verify — whether you run the platform yourself or bring in a Sprint CTO.
A typical consulting review
- An open-ended fee that grows with the scope
- Weeks of workshops before the first finding
- Opinion-led findings that are hard to defend to a board
- A one-off PDF, and an incentive to sell the follow-on
The StackUp way
- Fixed, published pricing, with a free way to start
- Evidence and benchmarks from day one, on either path
- Findings your board can interrogate, down to the evidence
- A living platform and artefacts you keep. No follow-on incentive.
