What it buys
Every technology decision, made with someone on your side
We take the vendor calls. We review contracts and quotes, flag renewals, and check new tools before you buy them. You stop making software decisions alone.
A plan for your technology and AI
What to build, what to buy, what to replace and what to leave alone. In order. AI included, only where it pays off.
Backup for your technology person
Maybe you named someone to lead technology or AI. We work with them, not around them. They keep the credit and set the direction.
A monthly review with you
Sixty minutes. What was decided, what is coming, what needs your call.
What you can count on
Every recommendation in writing.
The options, the cost, the risk, our pick and why.
A reply within one business day.
No renewal surprises.
A renewal calendar for your software. Every renewal flagged 90 days before its notice deadline.
A written summary within two business days
of every monthly review.
Everything stays in your name.
Documents, accounts, access and the decision log.
Your technology person keeps the credit.
We advise. They decide.
What it never includes
Building, integrating or automating anything. Those are builds, with their own spec and price.
Task work. It is not a pair of hands for this week's list.
Marketing, content, design, SEO and advertising.
When you want something built
Start small with one fix from our entry build menu. Entry builds start at $1,500. Each one goes live in 2 weeks. Your fractional CTO fee keeps running while it is built.
Anything bigger is a custom build, quoted per project. While a custom build runs, you pay no fractional CTO fee. A custom build also ends the three-month minimum.
After a build, the monthly takes over and carries the fractional CTO role. You never pay for both.
See the entry build menuNo stake in your software
We take zero commissions from any software company.
When we recommend a tool, it's because it's the right one.
Don't let AI make these decisions for you. Make them with someone accountable, who earns nothing from any vendor.
Term
Three months minimum.
Then month to month, with thirty days' notice either way. A custom build ends the minimum. An entry build does not.
