Focused diligence and architecture reviews from $10,000. Larger transaction or multi-system diligence engagements are scoped separately.
ballastIQ provides technical, product, operational, and capability assessment. We do not provide securities advice, financial valuation, or regulated investment recommendations.
Existing Clients
Existing engagements may continue with releases, integrations, configuration, system improvements, technical review, vendor coordination, and stewardship of systems ballastIQ already knows.
This is not general employee IT help-desk support.
Custom Scope
When the required scope is larger or materially different, the engagement can be structured accordingly.
