Who it's for

You need a CTO's judgement, not a full-time CTO.

AI is in use, but not in your numbers

Your team uses AI tools. Nobody owns turning that into more revenue or lower costs.

No senior technology leader

A full-time CTO isn't justified yet, but the decisions in front of you need one.

Vendors and developers without direction

People are building. No one senior is deciding what gets built, and checking it pays off.

What's included

Technology and AI leadership, measured in revenue and costs.

  • AI and technology strategy

    A plan for where AI and technology will make or save money, ranked and kept current as the business changes.

  • The next uses of AI

    Choosing, scoping and leading the build of the Claude AI agents that pay off next, across sales, marketing, customers, operations and costs.

  • A scorecard of results

    A monthly scorecard of what each use is delivering, so decisions rest on numbers.

  • Tools and vendors

    Which software and vendors to use, what to pay for them, and what to cut.

  • Your team

    Leading developers and vendors, and helping you hire when it's time for in-house technical people.

  • A seat at the leadership table

    A senior technical voice for owners and leadership teams when technology decisions come up.

Questions

Fractional CTO, answered.

What is a fractional CTO?

A senior technology leader who works with your company part time. You get the judgement and experience of a CTO for the decisions that matter, without hiring one full time.

How is this different from hiring an AI agency?

An agency builds what you ask for. As your fractional CTO I decide with you what's worth building, lead the work across the company, and measure whether it shows up in your revenue and costs.

Where do we start?

With an AI Profit Review: your AI level, and a ranked plan of where Claude AI will make or save the most. That gives the fractional CTO work a clear target from the first month.

How is it priced?

Monthly, with the scope and fee agreed up front before any work starts.
