Perch Consulting
Consulting · design · build

We figure out what to build, then build it.

Perch Consulting works with small businesses, nonprofits and enterprise teams on IT, AI and machine learning, product design, and the engineering that turns those into something real and running.

Where we're useful

You know the problem, not the solution
A process still runs on spreadsheets and screenshots
AI is on the roadmap and nobody can say why
Something was designed but never got built
Capabilities

Four practices, one team, in that order.

01

IT consulting

Systems, integrations, migrations and the unglamorous plumbing between tools you already pay for. We start by auditing what exists before recommending anything new.

02

AI & machine learning

Where a model genuinely helps and where it is an expensive detour. Scoping, evaluation, and shipping the narrow version that works before the ambitious one that might.

03

Product design

Interfaces, flows and the decisions underneath them. Design far enough that the build is obvious, and no further.

04

Creation

We build. Working software, hosted and maintained, handed over with the keys — not a deck describing what someone else should make.

How we work

Small engagements, clear scope, working software at the end.

Step one

Understand

A conversation, then a short written read on the problem, the constraints and what we'd do first — enough for both of us to know whether we're the right fit.

Step two

Design the smallest real thing

Scope down to the version that solves the problem this quarter. You approve what's in it and when it lands before anyone writes code.

Step three

Build, launch, hand over

We ship it, host it if you want us to, and train whoever owns it next. Ongoing support is a choice, not a dependency.

Solutions

Some problems we've seen enough times to productize.

When the same problem shows up across clients, we build it once properly and offer it as a product. Consulting work stays bespoke; these you can just buy.

A build of your own

Most of our work isn't a product yet. If the problem is specific to your organization, we scope it and build it — same three steps, same handover.

What we're watching

A problem becomes a product here once we've solved it by hand three times. Currently on the list: volunteer scheduling, grant reporting, and small-clinic intake.

Before you get in touch

Questions people ask first.

Do you work with organizations our size?

Yes. We take on single-owner businesses and enterprise teams; the difference is scope, not process. If your problem is small enough to solve in a conversation, we'll just tell you how.

Who owns what you build?

You do — code, data, accounts and domains. We hand over the keys at launch. Hosting and support are optional, never conditions of ownership.

What happens after launch?

We train whoever owns it next and stay available. Some clients keep us on a support retainer, others take it in-house on day one. Both are normal.

Can you take over something half-built?

Often. We'll read the existing code and tell you honestly whether finishing it beats restarting — the answer is not always the one that gives us more to do.

How do we start?

Send a description of the problem through the form below. You'll get a written reply from a person, usually within a business day.

Start a conversation

Describe the problem. We'll tell you what we'd do about it.

One reply, written by a person, usually within a business day. If it isn't work for us we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
