Very cool. I even noticed this disconnect with bigger and big companies a lot. And also would offer help, however not for free. I do software for 40+ years and I've seen things go well and go south... Worked in a company with 4 customers and in a company with 25M customers and lots with numbers inbetween...

100% regarding the big companies, it gets so much worse the bigger the company gets. I had this experience when I worked for a company of 6k+ employees.

Ps I’m not offering to build for free, but the pre build consulting and post handover limited time support I don’t mind

I'm quite out of illusions here. Small startups I'd also help (consulting-wise) for free. Bigger companies however already did so much harm to their employees with how they manage change (hint: they don't) that there's a fee attached...

Yeah, makes sense in your case, personally I wasn’t planning on working with big companies, a David and Goliath battle I’m not willing to face at this point in my life
