The service catalogue is preserved here as a clearer directory: start with a free consultation, or schedule the advisory route closest to the decision in front of you.
Three ways in
Fractional CTO & Architecture Advisory
When the work is not a one-shot rescue or build — ongoing technical guidance, architecture reviews, hiring shape, and board-ready cover for founders and executives.
From £300/hour
Discuss CTO support →Rescue or build
Build — something new to ship
AI Build
Book an assessment first: whether the idea should exist and who owns it in production. A specific product, agent, integration, or harness is a separate build booking after that.
From £200/hour
Start with assessment →Service routes
Service paths, split by the work that is actually in front of you.
AI Strategy Assessment
From £200/hour Assessment route
AI and ML use-case selection, architecture, evaluation, safety boundaries, operational ownership, and delivery path for executive teams.
Usual first step under the AI Build door — adoption, evaluation, safety, delivery path, and ownership.
Fractional CTO
From £300/hour Advisory route
Technical guidance for founders and executives that need principal engineer-level direction before the permanent CTO shape is obvious.
For founders, executives, boards, and investors needing executive technical guidance.
Custom AI and ML Build
From £200/hour Custom AI/ML enquiry
Design and delivery support for a specific AI or ML product, workflow, model, agent, integration, or automation that needs to become real software.
For a specific AI/ML delivery once the outcome is clear; start with assessment when it is not.
Production Rescue
From £200/hour Production rescue
Production-originated infrastructure, SRE, observability, incident, capacity, cost, and platform work for systems under real operational pressure.
For incidents, reliability, observability, cost, migration, platform, and infrastructure work.
