Fractional CTO Canada

Advice you can hold someone to.

The same person on every call, who has already built the thing you are about to build.

Senior judgment, without the hire.

What the retainer covers

  • Architecture decisions that are expensive to reverse
  • A roadmap tied to the business, not to a stack
  • Honest vendor and build-versus-buy assessments
  • Reviewing what your team or agency is actually shipping
  • Hiring: what to look for, and sitting in on the calls
  • Being the technical voice in the room with investors

When you should not buy this

  • You have a CTO and need another pair of hands
  • The decision is already made and you want it validated
  • Nothing technical is due for the next two quarters

I would rather lose the month than bill you for one you did not need.

Read, decide, then stay.

Decide

The expensive calls, made with you rather than for you.

Most technical decisions are cheap. A few are not.

Choosing a framework is reversible in a fortnight. Choosing how your data is modelled, who owns the accounts, or which vendor sits between you and your customers is not. Those are the ones worth paying someone to get right the first time.

The fork beside this is the whole job: the same starting point, and the difference between a call that holds up and one you pay for twice.

What accountable actually means here.

The same person
Not a match from a bench, and not a junior sent in my place after month two.
On the record
Decisions get written down with the reasoning, so a later team can see why.
Told early
If I think you are about to waste money, you hear it before the invoice.
Yours to leave
Month to month. No notice period designed to make leaving awkward.

If a build is the right next step, it is scoped properly first rather than guessed at, which is what an MVP Roadmap is for.

The thinking

The calls this exists to get right.

What founders ask before retaining anyone.

With me. Most of this market runs on a bench: you are matched with an available person, and the one who wrote your architecture review is often not the one on the call six months later. There is no bench here. If a build follows and needs more hands, my studio provides them, and I stay the person accountable for the outcome.

What you walk away with

One instrument. You own it.

Nothing held hostage, nothing locked to a platform you cannot leave.
