Retained CTO · Architecture · Engineers

A CTO, an architect, and the team to build it.

Retained technology leadership for firms too lean for a full-time CTO and too serious to guess. Take all three, or just the part you're missing.

No hourly rate card. No discovery phase that never ends.

What we do

Four ways in. None of them require the other three.

Monthly retainer

Retained CTO

Architecture ownership, vendor and platform selection, security posture, roadmap — and a named principal in the room when the decision gets made.

Fixed scope

AI & workflow builds

Document generation, intake automation, retrieval over your own knowledge, integrations into the systems you already run. Scoped, priced, shipped.

Monthly seat

Embedded engineers

Our own full-stack engineers inside your team — after a build with us, or on their own from day one. Led by our Chief Architect, working to your architecture or one we set.

One-time review

Governance & risk

Confidentiality, data residency, model and vendor risk, audit trails, acceptable-use policy. The permission structure for everything else.
