Fractional CTO for Your Business

How It Works

From first click to done.

Discovery

A free half hour call, then a paid discovery session if it makes sense. We listen, ask, and tell you whether we can help.

Scope in writing

Acceptance criteria, milestones, and the budget envelope, before anything is billed.

Cadence

Weekly advisory calls, written summaries after every call, daily async updates during a sprint. No tier-one ticket queue.

Production first

Engagements end with running software, not a report. We stay until it works in production.

Built, not just advised

The same people advising you built the marketing report, the phone system, the store, and the booking engine in the showcase. Advice comes from running systems, not slide decks.

A roadmap you can hold us to

Roadmap development, vendor evaluation, technical decisions, team mentoring, architecture oversight. Weekly progress checkpoints and no hidden scope expansion.

Running Today

Not a roadmap. In production.

The systems in the showcase were designed, built, and are run by the same team. Owner-led businesses and operations-heavy teams that need a technology leader part time.

Questions

Before you ask.

What are the three tiers?

Engagement level by hours per month, from ten to eighty. The tier is set in discovery against what your business actually needs.

Why a three-month minimum?

A roadmap takes a quarter to show results. Shorter than that is a consultation, which we also offer by the hour.

Can this start with a review?

Yes. A technical architecture review at $200 an hour delivers an assessment report, a risk analysis, and a prioritized action plan, and often becomes the roadmap.
