Senior judgment, without the hire — a fractional CTO, or a faster team
Senior engineering advice from 8 hours a month: fractional-CTO cover, running the department, training the team, and making your engineers faster with AI. We usually start with an audit, so the advice rests on findings.
What You Get
The numbers that matter for your stage, reviewed on a regular cadence that sets goals and plans the work.
One senior person for whatever the month needs: decisions, hiring input, or training your team.
What was decided and what moved, written for your board, investors or CFO.
When It’s Worth It
Someone senior runs engineering a few days a month: priorities, vendors, architecture and hiring.
We measure delivery today, fix what the tools depend on with your team, and measure again, in numbers a board reads.
The same hours go into working sessions with your team, so the skills stay when we leave.
Questions Buyers Actually Ask
How much does it cost?
Senior hours from 8 a month, recurring, with a 2-month notice. Below 8 hours, nothing compounds.
Do we need an audit first?
It isn’t required, but we usually start with one, so the advice rests on findings. The audit is free for now.
Can the consultant write code?
Light hands-on work, yes. If you need people building every week, team augmentation costs less, and we’ll say so.
We rolled out AI coding tools and delivery barely changed. Why?
Usually the codebase absorbed the gains: no tests, CI or proper review. We fix that with your team and measure before and after.
