Client Sovereignty

Founder-led. Not founder-dependent.

Blast47 gives clients direct access to Andy Hayes' judgement, experience and implementation capability without leaving their systems dependent on one person. Access, documentation, client-specific source and operating knowledge are maintained so another competent specialist can take over if required.

You are protected by ownership and transferability, not the pretence of a large permanent team.

The value of Blast47 is in Andy's judgement, experience and problem-solving. The operation around that expertise is deliberately structured so the client is not locked into Andy personally.

The Blast47 Promise

You get senior personal delivery, while the information and access needed to operate, maintain and transfer your systems remain clear, available and properly documented.

Continuity is built into the way the work is delivered.

01

Client-controlled foundations

Domains, business data, production accounts and primary service access are held under client control wherever the platform permits.

02

Source continuity

Client-specific source is maintained in a client-controlled or mirrored repository, with the access another competent specialist would need to review and continue the work.

03

Operating knowledge

Architecture, integrations, dependencies, deployment requirements and important operating decisions are recorded in plain language.

04

Recovery and handover

Backup, restore, deployment and transition instructions are kept practical so continuity is possible during a planned handover or unexpected absence.

05

Honest ownership boundaries

Client data, accounts and agreed bespoke deliverables remain protected. Shared Blast47 core and reusable components are licensed rather than transferred, while third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licences.

What the continuity record contains.

  • Client and service account ownership
  • Source repository and access location
  • System architecture and integration register
  • Important dependencies and licence boundaries
  • Deployment, backup and recovery instructions
  • Current operational notes and known priorities
  • Last review date and handover readiness

A practical route to continuity.

  1. 01

    Confirm the client's authorised continuity contact and secure access route.

  2. 02

    Release or confirm access to the mirrored source and maintained handover record.

  3. 03

    Give the appointed specialist the architecture, dependencies and recovery context.

  4. 04

    Transfer operation without withholding client data, credentials or client-specific knowledge.

No lock-in language. No ambiguity.

Does the client control its data and accounts?

Yes. Client data, domains and primary business accounts remain under client control wherever the service provider allows it.

Is all Blast47 software open source?

No. Client-specific deliverables are handled as agreed in the engagement. Shared Blast47 core remains licensed, and third-party or open-source software remains subject to its existing licence.

Can another specialist take over?

Yes. The purpose of the mirrored source, documentation and handover record is to give another competent specialist a clear route into the system.

When is the continuity record updated?

It is reviewed at meaningful delivery milestones and whenever a material change affects access, architecture, deployment or recovery.
