Senior, practical advice on AI, software, and technology decisions, from someone who has built these systems. Get a clear plan before you spend money, a straight answer about the system you already have, and technical leadership when you need it.
Four ways we help. Each is scoped and priced upfront.
Find out where AI and automation will actually pay off in your business before you spend money on it.
Fixed price, typically 2–3 weeks.
An independent, senior-level look at an existing system or codebase before you invest more in it, buy it, or hand it to a new team.
Fixed price, typically 1–3 weeks depending on system size.
Part-time senior technical leadership for companies that need a CTO's judgment but not a full-time salary.
Monthly retainer with a set number of hours.
Help choosing the right software, platform, or development partner, and avoiding expensive mistakes.
Fixed price per decision, typically 1–4 weeks.
Thirty minutes to understand the decision or problem in front of you. If consulting isn't the right fit, we'll tell you.
A short written scope with deliverables, timeline, and price, so you know the cost before any work starts.
A plain-English written report with prioritized recommendations, and a walkthrough meeting with you and your team.
We can implement the recommendations through custom software or done-for-you automation, support your team or vendor while they do, or simply hand over the plan.
Assessments, reviews, and vendor selections are fixed-price projects, quoted after a free intro call. Fractional CTO work is a monthly retainer. Either way, you know the price before any work starts.

We recommend what's right for you. Often that's an off-the-shelf tool, a configuration change, or another vendor. If we think we're a good fit to build something, we'll say so separately, and you're free to take the plan to anyone.
