Technical Advisory

A trusted technical voice for high-stakes decisions.

Strategic technology guidance for founders, boards, and investors. We help you make the right architecture, team, and vendor decisions — without the commitment of a full-time hire.

Advisory Services

High-impact guidance from operators, not analysts.

Architecture Reviews

We audit your current tech stack, identify technical debt, evaluate scalability risks, and provide a clear remediation plan with prioritized recommendations.

AI & Automation Strategy

We assess where AI creates genuine value in your business — LLM integration, workflow automation, predictive analytics — and build a pragmatic implementation roadmap.

Due Diligence Support

We prepare technology documentation for fundraising, M&A, or IPO. We participate in technical due diligence sessions and help answer investor questions.

Build-vs-Buy Analysis

We evaluate whether to build in-house, buy off-the-shelf, or partner with a vendor. Our analysis has saved clients over $1M in avoided bad technology investments.

Team & Process Assessment

We evaluate your engineering team structure, development processes, and delivery velocity. We identify bottlenecks and recommend improvements.

Technology Roadmap

We create a 6-12 month technology roadmap tied to business milestones. Stack decisions, infrastructure plans, and hiring timelines — all in one document.

How It Works

Flexible advisory that fits your schedule.

One-Time Assessment

A focused 2-4 week engagement to audit your technology, assess your team, and deliver a written report with prioritized recommendations.

Ongoing Advisory

Regular check-ins (weekly or bi-weekly) for architecture decisions, hiring guidance, and strategic technology counsel. Typically 4-8 hours per month.

Board-Level Advisory

Monthly sessions with your board or leadership team. Technology risk assessment, due diligence preparation, and strategic oversight.

FAQ

Questions about technical advisory.

A technical advisor provides strategic guidance on specific decisions — architecture reviews, build-vs-buy analysis, due diligence. A fractional CTO is embedded in your team and owns day-to-day technical leadership. Advisory is lighter touch (4–8 hours/month), while a fractional CTO works 2–3 days per week.
Engagements range from one-time assessments (2–4 weeks) to ongoing advisory (monthly check-ins). We start with a technology audit, deliver a written report with prioritized recommendations, and can continue with regular advisory sessions.

One-time assessments range from $5,000–$15,000 for a 2–4 week technology audit with a written report. Ongoing advisory retainers run $5,000–$15,000 per month for regular check-ins and strategic guidance, typically 4–8 hours per month.
We have deep expertise in healthcare technology, fintech, and SaaS. We've advised companies across these sectors on architecture decisions, AI strategy, team building, and due diligence — from seed-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies like Mercer.
Yes, and this is a common path. Many clients start with a one-time assessment, then move to ongoing advisory, and eventually bring us in as a fractional CTO when they need deeper embedded involvement. The advisory phase helps both sides determine fit.
