Large-scale architecture.
Built to last, not to patch.
What breaks in big systems — and why
Enterprise projects fail at the handoff. Systems are built by one team, documented for another team that does not exist yet, and eventually maintained by someone who was not in the room when the architectural decisions were made. The result is layers of workarounds that nobody fully understands and nobody is brave enough to remove.
Most of the people on our team came from large software organisations. We have been the person inheriting the system with no documentation and a production incident in progress. We know exactly what "we will address the technical debt next quarter" looks like five years later.
We built WANTED.solutions to be a different kind of engagement — one where the architect who designs the system is the same person who can be called when something is unclear, not an escalation three levels deep.
Systems designed for the long run
Architecture decisions are explicit and recorded
Every significant decision has a rationale. Not because a process demands it, but because the engineer on call at 2AM eighteen months from now needs to understand why the system works the way it does.
No invisible handoffs
The person who scopes the engagement is on the team that builds it. No account managers, no translation layer between what the client said and what the engineers heard.
Designed for the maintainer, not the reviewer
Sprint reviews reward features. Production rewards reliability. We optimise for the system that is still running cleanly in three years, not the one that looked good at the demo.
Corporate pedigree, boutique accountability
We know how large systems fail because we have worked inside them. We deliver with the accountability of a small team that cannot hide behind process.
Why trust us with this
- Delivered inside large organisations — we know the politics, the legacy, and the pressure
- Team pedigree from large software organisations — we know what breaks before it breaks
- Same engineers scope, build, and support — no handoff surprises
- If we commit, we deliver — we have walked away from work that was not right for us
Inheriting a mess, or building from scratch?
Either way, the conversation starts with what the system actually needs to do — not what it was originally specced to do.
