Iurii Advises: Technical Consultation
€200Stuck on an architecture decision, a tech choice, or a tricky problem? Describe it in writing – I’ll study it, prepare, and come to the call with a concrete solution proposal.

Most ‘quick calls’ aren’t quick – and they’re not useful, because the person on the other end is improvising. I do it differently: you send me the problem in writing first, I take time to actually think about it, and we meet when I have something useful to say.
This is for founders who need to make a technical decision without a CTO, for teams stuck on an architectural problem, or for anyone who needs a second opinion from someone who’s actually built these systems before.
I’ll tell you honestly what I think – including if I don’t think the problem is what you think it is, or if I’m not the right person to solve it. No upsell, no vague recommendations designed to make you hire me again.
What’s included
- You submit the problem in writing (I send a template)
- I research and prepare – no improvising on the call
- 50-minute video call the next day with my concrete recommendations
- Written summary with action points after the call
How I approach this
01
You describe the problem in writing
I’ll send you a short template. The act of writing it down often clarifies the problem itself.
02
I prepare
I read your description, research the specifics, and think through the options. No improvising.
03
We meet the next day
A focused 50-minute video call where I present my analysis and recommendations. You ask questions.
04
Written summary
After the call I send a written summary of what we discussed and what I recommend.
Terms & conditions
100% prepayment – I book time only after payment is received.
If I review your problem and conclude I can’t help, I’ll tell you before the call. No refund in this case – I still spent time preparing. This keeps the incentive honest: I only take consultations I think I can add value to.
