What we do

Build, buy, or hire
The decision made with someone who has done all three.
Codebase reality check
An honest read on the architecture, the vendor, or the estimate.
AI feasibility
Product judgment on what AI can carry, without the strategy deck.
How we do it

What you'll achieve
The decision, made
Build, buy, pause, or hire, with the reasons written down.
Risk read honestly
You know what the codebase, the vendor, and the estimate are really worth.
Execution on tap
The same firm that wrote the plan can build it, so nothing is lost between deck and delivery.

Common questions
What is a fractional CTO?
A fractional CTO provides senior technical leadership part-time or for a defined engagement. The role usually covers architecture, roadmap, hiring, vendor decisions, technical risk, and delivery direction.
How is this different from technical consultancy?
Technical consultancy often stops at advice. Our fractional CTO work can connect directly to a forward-deployed pod that builds the plan when implementation is needed.
Is this only for non-technical founders?
No. It is also useful for technical founders who are overloaded, product teams exploring AI, and companies that need outside judgment on architecture or delivery risk.
Tell us what you need built.
A 20 minute call is enough to work out whether a pod fits. The first week of work is defined on that call.
