What this covers.
Fractional CTO
Technical leadership for founders who need judgement and direction, but not yet a full-time executive salary.
Technical due diligence
Buying a company or funding one? We assess the codebase, the infrastructure and the delivery risk, and put it in writing.
Embedded specialists
Engineers and designers from the collective joining your standups, your repo and your tooling for a fixed period. You interview them, and they leave documentation behind.
Build, buy or integrate
Whether to build it, buy it or wire two existing products together — costed over three years rather than three months.
Team enablement
Workshops on React, AWS, testing and AI integration, taught against your own codebase rather than toy examples.
What you receive.
- Architecture and code review with written findings
- Technology selection with a three-year cost comparison
- Scalability and security roadmap
- Technical screening for engineers you are hiring
- Fortnightly steering calls
- Embedded part-time capacity on a monthly retainer
Typical stack
Before you ask.
Yes. Specialists from the collective can embed in your sprints, your repo and your tooling for a fixed period — and you interview them first. What we will not do is quietly substitute someone you have never met, which is the thing that makes most staffing arrangements go wrong.
Tell us what you are trying to build.
A first call is thirty minutes, costs nothing, and ends with a straight answer about whether we are the right group for it — plus the names of the specialists who would actually do the work.
