Some companies don’t need a project. They need somebody in the room who can tell them what to build, what to ignore, and what it will actually cost — before the money is spent.
Somebody picks a tool because a friend uses it. A build gets quoted by the people who’d be doing the building. A subscription renews for the fourth year running because cancelling it is somebody’s job and nobody’s priority.
None of that is incompetence. It’s what happens when a business has no one whose actual job is to hold the technical picture — and can’t justify a full-time CTO to do it.
You already know what you want. I build it, hand it over, and we’re done — fixed price, fixed dates, no obligation to continue.
You don’t always know what you want — that’s the point. I hold the technical picture with you, month to month, and build the parts worth building.
I keep an accurate map of what you run, what it costs, and where it will break next. Most companies have never had one.
Before you sign a platform, brief an agency, or hire a developer — a straight answer from someone with no stake in the outcome.
The role isn’t advisory only. Part of every month goes into building the things worth building.
Renting five tools that half-fit is usually more expensive than owning one that fits. That maths gets checked.
This goes straight to me, not to a sales team. If a two-week build is the better answer than a monthly arrangement, I’ll say so on the call.
