FAQ

Fractional CTO for Professional Services — questions

Why does Professional Services need Fractional CTO services?
Professional-services firms sell expertise — and lose margin to manual, repeatable work. Fractional CTO directly addresses that: a technical strategy your board and investors trust, and a roadmap tied to commercial milestones, not hype.
How much time does a fractional CTO commit?
Engagements typically run one to three days a week, scaled to what the business needs. Enough to lead and be accountable, without the cost of a full-time executive.
When should we hire a fractional CTO instead of a full-time one?
When you need senior technical leadership now but the role — or the runway — cannot yet justify a full-time executive. A fractional CTO also helps you define and later hire the permanent one.
