Offers
Pick your starting point
Every engagement below can be scoped as a fixed price - so you know the cost before we start - or as a sweat-equity / success-fee where I share the risk with you. Start small with a free diagnostic, or go all the way to an end-to-end build. You choose the level of commitment.
No matter where you're stuck
A productized ladder, from a 10-minute check to a full build
Most teams I meet are not short on ideas - they are stuck somewhere between a promising MVP and a platform that actually earns its keep. The offers below are deliberately ordered by commitment. Take the smallest step that moves you forward, and step up only when the value is obvious.
There is no obligation to climb the whole ladder. Many teams get exactly what they need from the free diagnostic and a single fixed-price sprint.
The offer ladder
Five rungs, in ascending order of commitment
Free - entry point
Stuck Diagnostic
A 10-minute check plus a 30-minute readout
Answer a short set of questions about where your AI or data project has stalled. I review it and we spend 30 minutes on a call walking through what I see and what I would do first. No slides, no pitch - just a senior, honest read on your situation.
Launch & GTM
Go-Live Partner
Score your readiness, then pick your support
Bringing a software or AI product to market? Pressure-test your architecture, delivery, compliance and go-to-market before you go live - as a quality check, a proposal, or hands-on to the finish line.
Fixed fee, quoted after your diagnostic
Target State Sprint
When you've outgrown your MVP or POC
A focused 2 to 4 week architecture and target-state assessment for teams whose proof-of-concept has hit its limits. You walk away with a clear, sustainable target architecture and a pragmatic roadmap to get there. Fixed price - you know the cost before we start.
Fixed fee per milestone, or retainer
AI & ML Extensions
When models & agents come calling
Your base platform is solid - data, API, process and UI are all fine - but you are missing the genAI or machine-learning capability that takes you to a state-of-the-art product. We add exactly that missing piece, priced fixed per milestone or on a retainer.
Monthly retainer
Engineers Ignited
When tech is not the problem at all
Fractional-CTO leadership to converge a fractured or distributed engineering team and pull a scaling project straight. Drawing on decades of transformation and governance experience, I get your people working as one - on a monthly fractional retainer.
Sweat-equity / success-fee
Target State Build
End-to-end build and turnaround
The full journey - from target state through to a working, production platform. This is where I put skin in the game: a sweat-equity or success-fee engagement means I share the risk and am paid when you succeed. Reserved for teams ready to commit to the outcome together.
