Senior IT Specialists · Technology Partners
Your business runs on a dozen pieces of technology. Most are working. Some aren't. None of them are talking to each other. We're the people who look at all of it — the senior IT thinking you can't justify hiring full-time.

The Name
From the Ancient Greek ἄκριτος. The Greeks watered down their wine. Akritos wine was full strength — uncut, undiluted, the real thing.
Most IT consulting is watered down. Padded hours. Unnecessary recommendations. Vendor kickbacks baked into the price. We don't do any of that. Full strength, or we don't show up.
The Gap We Fill
Pick the one that matches where you are. Most engagements end up covering more than one — the work is connected, the way your business is connected.
Where the business is going, and what technology has to be in place to get it there. Roadmaps, architecture decisions, build-vs-buy calls.
Learn moreVet new software before you sign. Audit what you're already paying for. Exit the vendors that aren't earning their keep.
Learn moreBuild it right the first time. Whether it's Google Workspace, Apple Business, identity federation, or migrating off something that isn't working.
Learn moreMonthly cadence, weekly cadence, or embedded — whatever your business needs. We stay with you, your team owns the day-to-day, and we back them up.

How we work
They're the rules we make every decision by. We publish them because you should be able to hold us to them.
No lock-in. Ever. If we disappeared tomorrow, you'd still have everything. Your domains, your accounts, your infrastructure — yours.
If you're about to make a bad decision, we'll say so. We'd rather lose the engagement than let you walk into something you'll regret.
Every vendor we recommend, every tool we deploy — you can walk away from any of it, including us. You stay because we earn it, not because we engineered it.
If a vendor charges $4 per device, you pay $4 per device. No markup, no hidden margin, no kickback fund. We show you the vendor invoice.
Specialty Areas
Three areas where we go deeper than typical IT consultancies. They show up inside most engagements — but you can engage on any of them standalone.
Apple Business setup, MDM deployment, Mac fleet management, training your Windows-native IT team on Apple. 20+ years of Apple in production environments.
Learn morePolished AI documents that beat your SME's veto in the conference room. We help you put guardrails on AI without becoming anti-AI.
Learn moreWe find what you don't actually own and help you take it back. Free Tech Debt Checklist included with every consultation.
Learn moreDay one
Your first consultation is free — a full hour. Here's what you walk away with, even if you never hire us.
What's working, what's broken, and what's costing you money. No sugarcoating.
Exactly what needs to happen, in what order, and what it costs. Our rate and vendor costs, separated.
Are you overpaying? Locked in? We tell you what your current vendors are actually charging vs. market rate.
Security gaps, single points of failure, vendor lock-in. The things that keep you up at night — or should.
Take the plan and do it yourself, hire someone else, or hire us. No guilt, no pressure, no follow-up sales sequence.
Everything we discussed, documented and emailed to you. Not a sales deck — a working document you can act on.
Fair pricing
Project work from $1,500 flat. Partnership retainers from $750 a month. Advisory hourly at $250. Vendor costs pass through at cost. Published rates, every line item visible on your invoice. We'd rather help a small business succeed than be the firm they couldn't afford.
Free one-hour consultation. We'll walk your environment with you, tell you what we see, what it would cost to fix, and whether we're the right fit. No sales pitch. No obligation.
