Clarity Before Commitment.
Independent production risk assessment for indie development teams.
What I offer.
Independent risk assessment for high-stakes moments in the development journey.
Because you can’t plan around what you don’t know.
When it matters.
If you’re about to make a major project decision, clarity matters. My service is designed for projects acquiring funding, scaling to full production, seeking an outside view, or trying to weather a storm. It pressure tests processes, assumptions, delivery schedules and alignment. Designed to identify issues long before they become expensive problems.

Technical due diligence.

About Me.
I’m a games production and project lead with 5 years’ industry experience, including 8 shipped mobile titles, 2 delivered PC MVPs, and direct responsibility for team building, production systems, stakeholder management and delivery risk across teams from 6 to 150 people. Having worked with both private investors and publishers, I can identify risks that often go unnoticed until critical moments.

The BIAS Mission.
Small teams often discover risks too late. They become scheduling problems, funding problems or delivery problems, I’ve been there. This service was built to help surface issues early, while they are still cheap to address.
