Engagement Options
Choose the model that fits your situation. Both options include a clear scope, defined expectations, and no surprises.
Fixed-Scope Project
You have a specific initiative, evaluation, or deliverable in mind. We define the scope together, agree on a flat fee, and deliver within a defined timeframe. Ideal for technology audits, process assessments, hiring framework builds, or any well-defined engagement.
- Defined deliverable and timeframe
- Flat-fee pricing, no hourly surprises
- Typical engagement: 4–8 weeks
- Executive-ready deliverable at completion
Monthly Retainer
You want a fractional CTO in your corner on an ongoing basis. Monthly availability, async communication via Slack and email, and structured attendance at your key weekly meetings. The closest thing to a full-time CTO, without the full-time cost.
- Asynchronous availability via Slack and email
- Attendance at key stakeholder and engineering meetings
- Ongoing architecture, team, and hiring advisory
- Predictable monthly billing
Many retainer clients start with a fixed-scope project before moving to an ongoing arrangement, but both options are available as standalone engagements with no required sequence.
