When is a fractional CTO useful?
When you need experienced technical ownership across several initiatives and a monthly engagement fits your team. Common decisions include choosing an AI approach, coordinating vendors, or turning a growing backlog into a practical roadmap.
How is the engagement scoped?
We agree priorities, responsibilities, working cadence, availability, and fee before starting. The retainer is monthly. We do not publish a standard allocation of hours or promise a delivery date before reviewing the scope.
Can we start with a smaller engagement?
Yes. A two-week AI audit can clarify the starting point. A defined implementation project fits a specific workflow. Transformation consulting connects those decisions to the wider business.
