Fractional CTO and Architecture Advisory
Architecture reviews, hiring shape, vendor choices, delivery tradeoffs, due diligence support, and crisp technical narratives for CTOs, VPs, CIOs, founders, boards, and investors.
From £300/hour · Advisory route
Who it's for
Founders and executives who need principal engineer-level guidance now — for direction, hiring, vendor calls, or investor conversations — before committing to a full-time CTO hire.
What you get
- Architecture and technical strategy reviews with clear, prioritised recommendations.
- Hiring shape: what roles to hire, in what order, and what 'good' looks like for each.
- Vendor and build-versus-buy decisions with the tradeoffs made explicit.
- Due-diligence support for investors, and technical narratives boards can actually follow.
- A steady, principal engineer-level sounding board for the calls that are hard to make alone.
How it works
- Scope: the decisions in front of you and the cadence of support you need.
- Engage: reviews, calls, and written recommendations at an agreed rhythm.
- Adjust: scale the involvement up or down as the permanent CTO shape becomes clear.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this ongoing or one-off?
Either. Some engagements are a single architecture review or diligence exercise; others are a recurring fractional arrangement until the permanent CTO shape is obvious.
Can you support an investor doing diligence?
Yes. Technical due diligence for boards and investors — assessing architecture, team, and risk — is a core part of this route.
How is this priced?
From £300/hour for fractional CTO and principal architecture advisory, scoped to the cadence you need.
