Technical Strategy
The CTO perspective without the full-time salary.
Most founders and ops directors reach a point where they need a senior technical perspective — but not a full-time CTO. The decision is too important for a consultant who will be gone next month, and too occasional for someone at a CTO salary.
Our technical strategy retainer gives you a senior engineering voice on your most consequential decisions. Platform selection, vendor contracts, build vs buy, team structure, compliance architecture. We attend the meetings that matter and give you the perspective that comes from having built and run production systems in regulated industries.
We are not a strategy consultancy. We are engineers who also think about strategy. The difference is we can follow up the recommendation with the implementation.

- Architecture decision records (ADRs) for major choices
