Tech Truth Audit

A $4,000, two-week engagement. We audit your technology and you keep the written report whether or not we work together again. You can also use this package for one of four other deliverables: AI workflow mapping, scoping technology for a new space, a security audit and penetration test, or a clickable prototype. Fully credited toward any retainer if you continue.

We audit your technology

Architecture, debt, team, vendors, and a 90-day roadmap. That is the default. You can also choose one of the four deliverables below instead.

Review

Architecture and code review, technical debt map, team capability, and vendor spend including the server and cloud bill, scored against what a buyer or board would expect.

Gaps

Investor-readiness gap list: what would stall due diligence, a security review, or a hire you cannot afford to get wrong.

Roadmap

A prioritized 90-day technology roadmap your team can execute, with or without us in the seat.

You can also choose one of these four

Same $4,000. Same two weeks. We audit your technology, or we deliver one of these instead. On the call we pick which one matches the decision in front of you.

AI workflow / automation mapping

We map your core workflows — sales, operations, finance, HR — and hand you the AI-native version of each: which tools, which automations, in what order, with documented steps your team can execute without us.

Scoping technology for a new space

Opening a new location, product line, or market? We scope the technology it needs: systems, vendors, integrations, budget, and a sequenced plan so you do not buy the wrong stack before the doors open.

Security audit / penetration testing

Vulnerability scan, access and permissions review, dependency and patch audit, backup and recovery test, cloud configuration, OWASP fundamentals, and penetration testing. Written findings, ranked by severity.

Clickable prototype of the technology

An interactive prototype of the product or system so founders, buyers, and the board can see it, sell it, and lock scope before you fund a full build.

Who This Is For

✓ Founders who need a senior CTO opinion in writing before they keep spending on the current stack.
✓ Companies preparing for fundraising, a board review, or an acquisition conversation.
✓ Teams that suspect technical debt, vendor waste, or security gaps but cannot get a clean picture internally.
✓ Operators opening a new location or product line, mapping AI and automation, or needing a clickable prototype before they fund a build.

Expected Outcomes

→ A written deliverable you keep: a full technology audit, or one of the four other outputs — an AI workflow map, a new-space technology scope, a security and penetration-test report, or a clickable prototype.
→ A clear go / no-go on whether to continue with Advisory, Embedded, or CTO + Build.
→ Full credit of the $4,000 toward any retainer if you engage after the audit.

Why We're Different

This package does not exist anywhere else. The market sells a tech-debt audit, a security engagement, an AI mapping project, and a prototype as four separate vendors and four separate invoices. Here it is one $4,000 front door.

→ You get a real technology audit, or you pick one of four other CTO-level deliverables: AI workflow mapping, scoping technology for a new space, a security audit and penetration test, or a clickable prototype. Same price. Same two weeks. Nobody else puts those five options in one package.
→ Competitors split this work across a $15K–$25K assessment firm, a security shop for pen testing, an agency for the prototype, and a process consultant for automation. You would spend months coordinating them. We sit in one seat and ship one file.
→ Most audits are a sales document to close a retainer. This one is a deliverable: you keep the report, the map, the scope, the findings, or the prototype even if we never work together again.
→ Ryan has sat in the CTO seat through two acquisitions. The audit, the security findings, and the prototype are written the way a buyer, a board, or a diligence team actually reads them — not the way a vendor writes a proposal.
→ If you continue, the $4,000 is fully credited toward Advisory, Embedded, or CTO + Build. You did not buy a teaser. You bought the first two weeks of the relationship.
→ Vendor spend includes the server and cloud bill. The default audit names idle environments, oversized instances, and what you can recover without hurting performance.
