Consulting
Independent AI and technology advice — as a focused engagement or ongoing technical leadership.
Not every question needs a build. Our consulting practice helps you decide what to do with AI and technology — and how — before you commit budget. Choose a focused strategy engagement with a clear deliverable, or bring us in as fractional technical leadership that stays with you over time.
What this covers
AI Readiness Assessment
Evaluate your data, systems, processes, and team to understand where AI is viable today and what needs to change first.
Opportunity Mapping & Roadmap
Identify and prioritize the AI use cases with the clearest return, and turn them into a sequenced, realistic roadmap.
Build vs Buy & Vendor Selection
Compare off-the-shelf tools, platforms, and models against a custom build — with an honest view of cost, risk, and lock-in.
Architecture & Code Reviews
Independent review of an existing AI system, platform, or codebase, with prioritized findings and fixes.
Fractional CTO
Part-time technical leadership: own the architecture, set engineering standards, and guide product and technology decisions.
Team & Hiring Support
Define the roles you need, shape job specs, assess candidates, and set up the processes that let a new team ship.
How we approach it
Discovery Call
Understand the decision you're facing, your context, and whether a focused engagement or ongoing leadership fits better.
Scope & Proposal
Agree the questions to answer, the deliverables, the timeline, and how we'll work together.
Assess
Interview stakeholders, review systems, data, and code, and analyze the options against your constraints.
Recommend
Deliver clear, prioritized recommendations and a practical roadmap — written for decision-makers, not just engineers.
Ongoing Leadership
Optionally, stay on as fractional CTO or advisor to guide execution, whoever ends up doing the build.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a strategy engagement and a fractional CTO?
A strategy engagement is time-boxed with a defined deliverable — an assessment, a roadmap, or a review. A fractional CTO is ongoing, part-time technical leadership that owns decisions and guides execution month to month.
Do we have to hire you to build what you recommend?
No. Recommendations are independent of who does the build. Many clients execute with their own team or another partner; we're happy to support either way.
How long does a strategy engagement take?
Focused assessments and reviews typically take 2-6 weeks. Fractional CTO arrangements usually run for several months, with the time commitment agreed up front.
