Three formats

One-off or ongoing, depending on what you need to decide.

  • Fractional CTO

    A few days a month to own the roadmap, hire, make technical calls and manage the team or vendors.

  • Technical audit

    Code, architecture, security, cloud costs, organisation. Before a raise, an acquisition, a takeover, or when a project drifts.

  • AI advisory for leadership

    What to automate, buy, build or refuse. A concrete action plan anyone can execute.

How it runs

  1. Call

    30 min

    What you need to decide, and by when.

  2. Diagnosis

    1 to 3 weeks

    Interviews with the teams, code and infrastructure review, observing real work.

  3. Debrief

    One session

    A prioritised plan, presented to decision makers and the team, with what it takes and who can carry it.

  4. Ongoing support

    Optional

    We stay for the calls that follow, per session or monthly.

What you own

A plan, not a report that gathers dust.

  • A technical assessment, without needless jargon
  • Risks ranked by impact and effort
  • An action plan with owners and order
  • The decisions on your side
  • What is better left undone

Who it is for

  • Non-technical founders

    A senior technical partner before you can afford a full-time CTO.

  • SME leaders

    An independent view on a project, a vendor or an AI strategy.

  • Investors

    Clear technical due diligence before investing.

Questions about advisory

Do you earn commissions on the tools you recommend?

No. We resell no licences. That is what makes the advice useful.

Do we have to work with you afterwards?

No. The plan is written to be executed by your team, another vendor or us.

How long does an audit take?

One to three weeks depending on the size of the codebase and team. We set it on the call.

What if the plan says to do nothing?

Then it will say so. Stopping payment on a bad lead is still a good outcome.

A technical decision on the table?

Tell us what is at stake. We will tell you whether an audit or ongoing support makes sense.
