Book

Pick a time. Tell us the decision you need to make: architecture, vendor, hire, contract, or investor question.

Call

A focused hour with a CTO who has shipped 400 projects and exited twice. You get a clear recommendation, not a pitch.

Leave

You walk with a decision and next steps. No retainer required. Come back when the next decision shows up.

Who This Is For

✓ Founders who need a senior second opinion this week, not a six-month engagement.
✓ Operators evaluating a vendor proposal, agency quote, build-vs-buy call, or a server and cloud bill that does not make sense.
✓ Teams prepping for investor technical Q&A or a board technology review.

Expected Outcomes

→ A yes / no / not yet on the decision you brought in.
→ A short punch list of what to do next, in the order that actually matters.
→ No leftover obligation. If you later take a retainer, the hours already told you how we work.

Why We're Different

→ Most fractional CTOs bury hourly under a discovery process. This is the front door: $200, one hour, a real answer.
→ You are buying pattern recognition from 400 projects, not a junior who needs a week to read your repo.
→ When hourly stops being enough, the path into Advisory or Embedded is obvious, with no re-sell.
→ Bring the cloud bill. In the hour we will tell you what is waste, what is architecture, and what to cut first. Most advisors need a week of discovery to say the same thing.
