What is included in Fractional CTO advisory?
A scoped read of how things work today, a written plan you can approve, and delivery checkpoints with one named lead. We do not hand you a deck and disappear.
Strategy · 04
The second opinion your board deserves.
Interim cover, investor weeks, and ongoing office hours for CEOs without a technical co-founder. Plain English, named lead.
Fit
If you only need a logo on pitch decks, wrong shape.
We show up when architecture decisions are made, not after. Hiring loops, vendor calls, incident postmortems: the work is operational.
One invoice, one accountable senior engineer.

FAQ
Questions leadership teams ask before they commit budget.
How long does Fractional CTO advisory usually take?
Most first delivery cycles run two to six weeks. Access to systems, decision speed, and any compliance sign-off are usually what moves the date.
How do you measure outcomes for Fractional CTO advisory?
We agree the number before build starts: hours saved, error rate, conversion lift, uptime, or cost avoided. If we cannot name it, we do not scope it.
Who should be involved from our side?
One person who can say yes on budget and one person who knows how the work actually runs. That keeps decisions fast and handoffs short.
