Start free. Scale when you’re ready.

Every engagement starts with a free assessment call: 45 minutes where I listen, ask the right questions, and give you honest feedback on your biggest technical risks. From there, I recommend the right next step: a full audit, a build, multi-agent intelligence for teams scaling past direct visibility, or ongoing fractional CTO support.

Five stages, one clear path

01

Entry point

Free

Complimentary assessment call

What happens

  • We get on a 45-minute call and you walk me through what you’re building
  • I ask targeted questions about your architecture, team, and timeline
  • I give you honest, specific feedback on your biggest technical risks
  • You leave knowing what to focus on. No strings attached
You get: An honest assessment of where you stand and what to focus on next
Timeline: 45-minute call
02

Discovery

Scoped on a discovery call · ~2 weeks

AI infrastructure audit with prioritized roadmap

What happens

  • Building on the discovery findings, I run a full structured audit
  • I map your architecture, dependencies, and scaling risks in detail
  • I deliver a prioritized roadmap across 90-day, 6-month, and 12-month horizons, tied to specific business outcomes
  • You get remediation steps, cost estimates, and a plan you can execute independently
You get: A detailed roadmap that turns initial findings into an actionable plan
Timeline: 2–4 weeks
03

Connect & Teach

Scoped on a discovery call · milestone-based

Governed access plus your domain knowledge

What happens

  • I scope the connectors and knowledge packages with you and define milestones up front
  • I give your AI tools identity-aware access to your systems, then encode your workflows as skills and steering
  • Everything I build is yours: source code, infrastructure-as-code, documentation, deployment
  • I hand over infrastructure your team can maintain, with an onboarding session
You get: Governed AI infrastructure connected to your systems, running in production
Timeline: 4–12 weeks depending on scope
04

Orchestrate

By inquiry · 10–16 weeks

Multi-agent intelligence, powered by Operion

What happens

  • For teams scaling past direct visibility, I deploy specialist agents that read your engineering data
  • Each agent is grounded in behavioral research and activates on quantitative markers, not keywords
  • This is where Operion runs: it surfaces burnout, review fatigue, and knowledge concentration before they cost you
  • You get findings with evidence and recommended actions, not just another dashboard
You get: Early warning on the team risks that turn into attrition and bad launches
Timeline: 10–16 weeks
05

Retainer

Retainer · scoped on a discovery call

Ongoing fractional CTO advisory

What happens

  • I stay on as your fractional CTO on a month-to-month retainer
  • You get monthly strategy time, architecture decisions, and quarterly reviews
  • I keep connectors current and Operion monitoring live
  • Senior technical judgment on a subscription, not a support desk
You get: A senior technical leader guiding your architecture and surfacing risks, without the full-time cost
Timeline: Month-to-month, no lock-in

What is Operion?

As you scale, the team risks that cost the most become the hardest to see

Past roughly 25 engineers you lose direct line of sight into your team. Burnout builds, code review turns into rubber-stamping, knowledge concentrates in one or two people, and by the time it surfaces as attrition or a bad launch, it’s already expensive. The signals are in your Git and issue-tracker data the whole time. Nobody is reading them.

Operion is the engineering-intelligence layer I deploy at the Orchestrate stage. Specialist agents, each grounded in validated behavioral research, read that data and flag drift early, with evidence and a recommended action, so you can act before it becomes a crisis. It’s the diagnostic instrument behind the decisions, not another dashboard to check.

Every service stands alone. You hire me for what you need, when you need it.
