What's included
- A paid requirements-gathering phase: your business, your tools, your numbers
- Build-vs-buy analysis and vendor pruning
- A one-page roadmap your team can actually execute
- Plain-English answers, not consultant-speak
- Fractional CTO support for teams without senior technical leadership
How we work
It starts with a quick call — that one's on us. From there, a paid requirements-gathering phase: we review your challenge fully and develop the plan. Then, no long paperwork — we set targets, get a working prototype in your hands fast, and iterate until it delivers. Every engagement ends with working software, written down and handed off so your team can run it without us.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an AI strategy engagement or should I just start building?
If you can name the number you want to move and how you would measure it, you may be ready to build. If you cannot, a short paid review usually saves far more than it costs — and sometimes the honest answer is to not build yet.
