How We Work

Embedded leadership, not external advice.

We don't send you a deck and disappear. We join your team, attend your standups, and own outcomes alongside you.

The Process

From discovery to delivery.

01

Discovery

Week 1

We start with a deep-dive into your business, product, technology, and team. No generic questionnaires — we conduct working sessions with your leadership to understand the real challenges, not just the symptoms.

Deliverable: Assessment document + recommended engagement scope

02

Strategy

Weeks 2–3

Based on the discovery, we build a concrete plan: technology roadmap, team structure recommendations, architecture decisions, and a prioritized backlog. Everything is tied to business outcomes, not technical vanity metrics.

Deliverable: Technology roadmap + 90-day execution plan

03

Execution

Ongoing

We embed into your team and start building. We attend standups, participate in code reviews, make architecture decisions, and ship code. We're not advisors watching from the sideline — we're in the trenches with your team.

Deliverable: Shipped product increments + team capability growth

04

Transfer

Planned

Every engagement is designed to end. We build systems, documentation, and team capabilities that outlast our involvement. When you're ready to bring leadership in-house, we help with the transition and stay available for advisory.

Deliverable: Documentation + hiring support + transition plan

Engagement Models

Flexible to fit your needs.

Fractional Leadership

Part-time CTO, CPO, or VP Engineering embedded in your team. Typically 2-3 days per week, with full access and accountability.

Best for: Companies that need senior leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire

Project Delivery

End-to-end product development with a dedicated team. We handle architecture, engineering, QA, and deployment.

Best for: Specific product builds, platform migrations, or MVP launches

Technical Advisory

Strategic guidance on architecture, team building, vendor selection, and technology decisions. Lighter touch, high impact.

Best for: Boards, investors, or founders who need a trusted technical voice

Pricing

Transparent and value-aligned.

We don't publish fixed prices because every engagement is different. A fractional CTO for a seed-stage startup looks very different from one for a Series C company scaling to IPO.

What we can tell you: our pricing is designed to be a fraction of what you'd pay for a full-time senior hire (salary + equity + benefits + recruiting fees), while delivering comparable — often greater — impact from day one.

We offer monthly retainers for fractional leadership, fixed-scope pricing for project delivery, and hourly advisory for strategic guidance. Every engagement starts with a clear scope and transparent pricing before we begin.
