Advisory for European energy trading
Architecture validation, platform strategy, and the market intelligence to make better technology decisions. From a team that's built the systems first-hand.
How we work
Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a proposal. We want to understand what you're building, where you think the risk is, and — more importantly — where you haven't looked yet.
Most relationships begin with architecture validation: a focused assessment of where a platform's real design risk sits. It's not an audit and it's not a code review. It's a senior practitioner asking the questions your internal team is too close to the problem to ask themselves.
From there, it depends on what you need. Some firms want ongoing strategic advisory — a trusted external perspective on platform direction, vendor decisions, and build-vs-buy trade-offs. Others need hands-on technical delivery. And increasingly, we connect trading firms with the right capital partners and technology talent — because in European energy, knowing who to work with matters as much as knowing what to build.
What we help with
A second opinion before you commit
Position aggregation models, P&L pipeline design, event sourcing patterns, unit-of-measure handling across markets — these decisions compound. We review architecture before it becomes a commitment, identifying the structural risks that only show up under production conditions.
Build, buy, or work around the vendor
Most ETRM systems handle trade capture well enough. Everything else — bespoke P&L views, real-time risk, multi-market reconciliation — is where firms get stuck. We help you decide what to build around the vendor, what to replace, and what to leave alone.
The network that comes with a decade in European energy
We connect trading firms with the right technology talent, capital partners, and market relationships. For investors entering European energy, we provide the on-the-ground intelligence to evaluate trading teams, assess technology risk, and avoid the mistakes outsiders make.
When strategy leads to execution
Exchange integration, real-time P&L systems, streaming data pipelines, automated regulatory reporting. When the advisory work identifies what needs building, we can deliver it — with strategic oversight, not as outsourced development.
