What It Is

1722 Consultancy is a software consulting service provided by Steven Sharp, rather than a traditional developer tool or SaaS platform. The website highlights 20 years of software experience, spanning financial systems, mobile platforms, hardware integration, enterprise architecture, and more. Its core value is helping organizations make better technical decisions, fix problems, and move stalled projects forward.

Core Capabilities

Its services are mainly divided into four categories: Strategy, Advisory, Review, and Rescue. Strategy focuses on deciding what to build and how to build it, including architecture, technology choices, and roadmaps. Advisory provides embedded senior-level experience and support for teams. Review offers external reviews of code, architecture, or technical decisions. Rescue is aimed at situations where projects have stalled or teams are blocked, providing diagnosis and helping recovery efforts. The website emphasizes “one point of contact” and “no corporate wrapper,” meaning clients communicate directly with the consultant.

Pricing and Delivery

The website does not disclose its pricing model, rates, contract duration, remote or on-site delivery methods, or payment methods. For enterprise procurement, these details would need to be confirmed further by email. The public pages also do not list case studies, client names, or measurable outcomes, so additional due diligence is still needed when assessing the reliability of the service.

Pros and Cons

The strengths are its very clear positioning, targeting high-value scenarios such as architecture, technical decision-making, and project rescue. The 20 years of experience and direct communication model can help reduce the friction caused by intermediary layers. The drawbacks are limited information disclosure, with no standardized service packages, methodology explanations, case evidence, or support commitments. It is also not a self-service developer tool and does not provide APIs, SDKs, automated integrations, or self-hosting capabilities.

Who It’s For

It is better suited to organizations that already have software teams but need an external senior perspective on architecture choices, project momentum, technical debt diagnosis, or key decisions. It may be useful for early-stage startups, traditional enterprise digitalization projects, or teams facing delivery risks.
