FAQ

Before we work together

Is this only for companies without a CTO?

No. We can also support existing technical leaders with an independent review or focused specialist help.

Can we start with one decision or review?

Yes. A focused engagement is a good way to address an immediate question before deciding on ongoing support.

Do you also implement the recommendations?

When appropriate, yes. We can scope hands-on engineering separately from advisory work.
