Who this is for
Founders and general managers who already ship software, yet lack a consistent senior technical partner for hiring, architecture trade-offs, vendor selection, and engineering culture. It also suits CTOs who want a confidential peer for hard calls before they land with the board.
What you receive
- A fixed weekly advisory slot plus async written notes after each session
- Preparation of decision briefs: options, risks, and a recommended path
- Coaching for engineering managers on feedback, planning hygiene, and hiring bars
- Optional attendance at planning forums or leadership offsites (scoped separately)
What we deliberately leave out
We do not write production code, operate your cloud accounts, or replace your engineering managers. If implementation work is required, we help you brief the right contractor or hire—not perform the build ourselves.
How delivery works
Most clients begin with a four-week diagnosis retainer, then move to a lighter monthly cadence. Sessions are held by video; Perth-based teams can book half-days at our office when a whiteboard conversation is worth the travel.
Preparation we ask of you
Share org charts, recent incident summaries, and the last two planning artefacts before the first session. Name the single decision you most need help with in the opening month.
Next step
Request a discovery conversation and mention “Fractional CTO advisory.” We will reply with availability and a short questionnaire so the first call is useful.
