Technical strategy and architecture review, CTO-level sparring
Technical strategy, architecture review, and team scaling — for CTOs and product leadership. Engagement-sized from weeks to ongoing.
What we deliver
CTO-level sparring
Architecture review
External read on your current stack, biggest risks, and the 3-5 changes that pay back fastest.
Technology selection
When you have narrowed it to two options and need someone who has shipped both to break the tie.
Scaling teams
Hiring rubrics, team topology, IC ladders. The org-design questions that follow the tech ones.
Vendor selection
RFPs, technical due diligence, contract review. We translate vendor talk into operational reality.
Build-vs-buy
Honest read on whether the thing you are about to build is actually differentiating.
Fractional CTO
For pre-Series B teams: 4-8 hours/week of staff-eng-level partnership. Reduce later when you hire.

Frequently asked
What clients usually ask first
How long does a typical engagement take?+
For mid-market clients, six to twelve months end-to-end is typical — including discovery, architecture, build, and cutover. We optimise for time-to-meaningful-launch rather than feature parity on day one.
Do you work as an embedded team or end-to-end build partner?+
Both. Most engagements start as a focused build and evolve into an embedded partnership. Some are explicitly capacity augmentation from day one. We are explicit about which mode an engagement is in.
Which technologies do you recommend, and when?+
Honestly, it depends. We will never recommend a stack we would struggle to operate ourselves, and we will tell you when the boring choice is better than the trendy one.
How do you protect SEO and conversion during cutover?+
301 mapping, structured-data parity, performance baselines, phased traffic ramps, and a documented rollback. The first launch we ever did taught us all of this the hard way.
What does engagement cost typically look like?+
Engagements typically run between €100k and €500k for the initial build, with ongoing partnership work charged monthly. We will give you a scoped estimate after a one-hour technical conversation.
