Mochavi advises investors, boards, acquirers and technology leaders on technical capability, leadership, risk and execution. Each mandate starts with the decision, then tests the technical and organisational evidence behind it.

Where Mochavi is useful ## When an independent technical view matters. 1. 01 ### Investment An investment case depends on claims about technology, differentiation or the ability to execute. 2. 02 ### Leadership A senior technology appointment requires deeper technical scrutiny than a conventional executive interview. 3. 03 ### Board decisions Management is asking the board to commit to a significant technology programme, investment or change of direction. 4. 04 ### Transactions An acquirer needs to challenge existing diligence, management assumptions or post-close readiness. 5. 05 ### Software delivery A company needs senior help to design, build or harden software where the technical choices carry operational risk. Independent advisory ## Advisory areas Mochavi accepts mandates where independent technical judgment can materially improve a decision. The scope and form of advice depend on the question, the available evidence and the level of assurance required. 1. 01 ### Investor Technology Advisory Independent technical perspective for investment teams evaluating technology businesses, markets, products and leadership. Mochavi helps test the assumptions that matter to an investment case and identify where further evidence is needed.

The work considers the CTO and the wider technology organisation together.

The purpose is to separate evidence from assertion, clarify the available choices and give the board a defensible basis for its decision.

Mochavi is a senior-led practice with experience across software architecture, distributed systems, security-sensitive infrastructure, product engineering and technical leadership. The practice brings an operator’s perspective to decisions that cannot be resolved by presentation material alone. External mandates are accepted only after conflict, confidentiality and subject-matter review. [About Mochavi →](https://www.mochavi.com/about) How the work is approached ## Working principles 1. 01 ### Independent judgment Conclusions are not shaped to justify a transaction, appointment or technology programme. 2. 02 ### Evidence before narrative Claims are considered against the available technical, organisational and operational evidence. 3. 03 ### Direct senior involvement Analysis, interviews, judgment and client discussion remain with the senior adviser responsible for the mandate. 4. 04 ### Scope proportional to the decision Each mandate is defined around the question and the level of assurance required, rather than a standard package. 5. 05 ### Discretion and conflicts Scope, confidentiality and potential conflicts are established before sensitive material is exchanged. ## Discuss a mandate. Briefly describe the decision, transaction, leadership question or software project. Do not send confidential documents, candidate data, credentials or market-sensitive information through the public form. [Discuss a mandate→](https://www.mochavi.com/contact)
