Technical consulting
Architecture reviews, integrations and platform strategy, from one advisory session to an embedded technical lead who acts as your CTO.
From
$200/hr
By the hour, $1,500 for a single session, or a retainer of $3,500/mo for 20 hours, minimum 3-month commitment.
Who it’s for
Platform and vendor choices get made by whoever pitched last, and undoing a wrong one costs far more than making it well.
You need senior technical judgment, but not a full-time CTO, while your team has become the integration layer, re-keying data between tools that don’t talk. That’s the gap we fill.
Senior judgment, when you need it.
Every session ends with written recommendations.
Architecture reviews
A plain-language map of your systems: what talks to what, and where the risk sits.
Platform and vendor choices
Tools, platforms and proposals weighed before you sign.
Code and system audits
What’s at risk, and what to fix first, in writing.
Integrations
API integrations built and maintained, so your team stops re-keying data.
Technical leadership
An embedded lead who owns the architecture and the roadmap, and guides your hiring.

What people ask about consulting.
All questionsAdvisory or a retainer: which do we need?
Advisory is for a decision: an architecture question, a vendor choice, a second opinion. A retainer is for ongoing work: someone senior building and reviewing every month.
What does a $1,500 session include?
A working session on one problem, our preparation before it, and written recommendations after. No retainer needed.
Can we move between them?
Yes. Many clients start with a session, move to a retainer as the work ramps up, and to Dedicated when they need someone to own it.
How is Dedicated different from hiring a CTO?
You get senior technical ownership, weekly executive alignment and same-day replies, for less than a full-time executive, and you can scale it down when the heavy lifting is done.
