Fractional CTO Advisory
Interim cover, investor weeks, and ongoing office hours for CEOs without a technical co-founder. Plain English, board-ready output.
Fit
If you only need a logo on pitch decks, start with a workflow map first.
We show up when architecture decisions are made, before they harden. Hiring loops, vendor calls, incident postmortems: the work is operational, the same operating cadence behind Delivery Roadmaps.
One invoice, one accountable senior engineer. Read more on what a fractional CTO covers compared to an interim CTO.

Monthly risk memo, one page.
What changed, what we worry about, what we need a decision on.
03
Incident postmortems without blame theatre.
Five whys until the systemic fix is funded or explicitly deferred.
Execution detail
What this engagement includes in practice.
These are the checkpoints we sign off before the next phase ships. Same criteria on every lane.
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.
