Service

CTO as a Service

Someone has to own the technical decisions, and an empty seat compounds quietly: architecture chosen by whoever was nearest, hires made without a bar, contracts signed by people who cannot read them. This is that seat, filled by the week instead of by the year.

What you get

  • A standing weekly slot with your founders or your board, not an inbox
  • Architecture and vendor decisions written down with their trade-offs, in plain language
  • A hiring bar on paper, and the technical interviews run against it
  • Delivery reviewed against what was promised, with the bad news arriving on time
  • A handover file from day one, so the seat can be filled permanently without a reset

What is not included

  • Writing your production code — that is a build engagement
  • Line-managing your engineers day to day
  • Being the on-call escalation

Each of these is real work and is quoted separately. A fixed scope without a written boundary is an open-ended project with a capped invoice.

Is this you?

  • You are making architectural decisions you cannot evaluate, and the people advising you are the ones selling.
  • You are about to hire engineers and have no bar to hire against.
  • You have a technical team and nobody whose job is to say no.

Every engagement runs the same five phases, whichever discipline it starts in. See the process
