Software architecture
Current-state architecture, system boundaries, dependencies, deployment patterns, cloud readiness, and areas where change is harder than it should be.
Services
The work starts where the business is actually breaking.
Sweat Mountain helps software companies understand the software architecture, operating model, people, process, and customer pressure behind growth problems.
What we inspect
A software company is more than a codebase.
The code matters, but the risk often lives where software architecture, customer workflows, support load, data, and team ownership meet.
Product and workflow
How users actually move through the product, where manual work hides, and where product decisions depend on founder or legacy knowledge.
Engineering execution
Release rhythm, technical debt, ownership, SDLC habits, escalation paths, and the practices that either support or slow growth.
Support and implementation
The customer-facing strain: onboarding gaps, support load, implementation drag, and recurring work the product or process should absorb.
Data and reporting
Where data lives, how it moves, what leadership trusts, and where reporting or integrations create operational risk.
Integration readiness
What needs to line up across people, process, data, and systems before an acquisition, merger, or platform integration can work.
Engagements
Focused help for companies under growth pressure.
Engagements are designed to produce clear decisions, not endless slideware. The goal is to find what matters, prioritize what to fix first, and help the team move.

If the product works but the company is getting harder to run, the problem is probably bigger than code and more fixable than it feels.
Start with the part of the company that feels harder than it should. Sweat Mountain can help map the architecture, operating model, and practical next steps.
