For a team of 10 engineers with an average annual cost of \u20ac75,000 per person, this equates to between \u20ac112,500 and \u20ac300,000 annually lost maintaining legacy code instead of building new features. Technical debt accumulates due to deadline pressure, technical decisions made without evaluation time, and team turnover without proper documentation. Reducing it requires systematic refactoring, not complete rewrites: the cost of reducing technical debt by 601 times the total delivery time in a mid-sized company is between \u20ac90,000 and \u20ac240,000 over 6-12 months. Typical ROI is seen within 18 months due to increased delivery speed.

This technical independence means that the architecture is chosen based on suitability for the client&#039;s specific needs, not on commission. Every project is executed using the proprietary TCG-SAF\u2122 framework (17 dimensions of technical governance) and is protected by the Tormenta (100% refund if we don&#039;t deliver on time) and Hurac\u00e1n (coverage for critical post-delivery incidents) contractual guarantees. With 9 offices in 9 countries, over 150 engineers, and over 2,000 projects, our clients include: Emirates, RTVE, Iryo, Mercedes-Benz, the National Police, and the Parliament of Equatorial Guinea.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-7184\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"5\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-7184\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> How do I know if the current provider or CTO we have hired is really the right one for the next three years? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-7184\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fabd56 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6fabd56\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-113dc90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"113dc90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cloud Group offers three services designed precisely to address this concern: Technical Audit (a comprehensive review of code, architecture, technical debt, and processes in 2-4 weeks with an executive report defensible before a committee, priced between \u20ac8,000 and \u20ac22,000), Technology Due Diligence (for funds, M&amp;A, and funding rounds; 1-3 weeks with a quantified technical risk assessment), and External CTO or Advisory Committee (a senior profile with 13+ years of experience joining as an interim, fractional, or board advisor, priced between \u20ac6,000 and \u20ac12,000 per month).

There are over 150 engineers operating in 9 countries and zero paid partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Mistral: the model is chosen based on cost-performance measured in real-world evaluations, not on commercial incentives. A typical documented result: 801,000 enterprise AI projects fail according to public industry reports; projects executed with TCG-SAF\u2122 are anchored to a quantified business case and include Storm
