A CTO, two days a week.
The technology decisions keep landing on your desk and nobody in the building owns them. A full-time leader costs $20,000 a month loaded and takes two to four months to find. Same judgement, on retainer, one or two days a week.

Technical Advisor
You already have someone building things — an agency, a contractor, a nephew — and you need a second opinion you can trust.
- Weekly 60-minute call: decisions, vendor quotes, hiring, "is this a good idea"
- Email and Slack access, answered the same business day
- Any contract, SOW, or quote reviewed before you sign it
- A standing one-page "what I'd do next", kept current
Not included Writing code · Running your projects · On-call · Managing your vendors

Fractional CTO
Technology has become the bottleneck and nobody in the building owns it.
- Everything in Technical Advisor
- I own the technology roadmap and the budget that goes with it
- I manage your existing vendors and contractors directly — you are the escalation point, not the owner
- One improvement project a month, run to done: automation, integration, cleanup
- I sit in leadership meetings as the technical voice
- Monthly written report: what changed, what it cost, what's next
Not included 24/7 on-call · Helpdesk · Bulk implementation work (quoted separately as a project)

Embedded CTO
You are mid-transition — an acquisition, a system migration, a compliance deadline — and you need a technology leader in the room, not on a call.
- Everything in Fractional CTO
- 1.5 days a week of genuinely reserved time, on-site in the DMV when it helps
- I hire and manage the technical team, and own the performance conversations
- Direct delivery work, not just oversight
- Board and lender-ready technology reporting
Not included An exclusivity clause — I keep other clients
The first 30 days — every week ends with something that exists
- Week 1 Access, and the one number we are moving.
- Week 2 Your technology, written down.
- Week 3 A plan with prices and an order.
- Week 4 One thing lands, then it is a rhythm.
How it works
Invoiced monthly in advance. After the initial term, either of us can end it on 30 days’ notice — no penalty, no exit conversation. No exclusivity either way. Published rates, the same for everyone. Packages start in a week or two unless a date is flagged above.
