Advisory
A senior technical partner — without a full-time hire.
Before you spend on a build, get an honest read: what to build, what to buy, whether AI helps, and what it actually takes. Fractional-CTO-style engagements for founders and teams that need judgment, not just hands.
What you get
Architecture & scoping
Turn a fuzzy idea into a scoped, sequenced plan — what to build first, what it depends on, and where the risk actually sits.
Build-vs-buy & vendor review
An honest read on whether to build it, buy it, or integrate something that already exists — and what each path really costs.
AI feasibility & roadmap
What AI can and can't do for your specific problem, what data you'd need, and what a realistic first milestone looks like.
Technical due diligence
An outside review of a codebase, team, or vendor deliverable before you commit money to it.
Fractional CTO retainer
Ongoing senior technical judgment on call — architecture reviews, hiring input, and roadmap pressure-testing.
Why this exists
Most expensive engineering mistakes are decisions, not code — building the wrong thing, buying the wrong platform, or starting an AI project that was never going to work. An advisory engagement is the cheapest place to catch that.
