- Risk: Small team size (6) across 4 locations. Bandwidth and continuity concerns.
- Stance: Credible execution partner for scoped builds. Not a strategic growth partner.

Mid-level credibility. Partner title suggests decision-making authority but unclear if founder or hired. Brief, professional communication but lacks detail. Established presence at a small but legitimate agency.

Weighted (founders 2x)
6.0
Limited leadership visibility. Only Quintin Radford identified as Partner. No founder profiles or CEO information found publicly. This is a concern for a 9-year-old agency—suggests either very flat structure or limited transparency.

7.0
Legitimate specialist agency with strong Shopify/ecommerce focus and recognizable client roster. 9 years in business demonstrates staying power. However, very small team (6 people) across 4 locations raises delivery risk questions. No third-party reviews limit confidence. Strong technical positioning but limited evidence of strategic depth.

Taste / Design
7.0
- Best Fit Client
- Mid-market DTC brand with design partner already engaged, needs technical Shopify build partner for 3-6 month project.
- Portfolio
- Strong DTC ecommerce work with recognizable brands. Collaborations with notable designers (Lotta Nieminen, Ctrl+Alt+Del) suggest taste level. Portfolio skews toward clean, conversion-focused builds.
- Operator IQ
- Positioned as technical partner, not strategic advisor. Likely comfortable with clear briefs and established design systems. May lack bandwidth for discovery or iterative product work.
Key risks to probe
• Team capacity and bandwidth with only 6 people
• Distributed team coordination across 4 locations
• Unclear ownership structure and business continuity
• Lack of third-party validation or reviews
• Strategic depth beyond execution
