Engagement Models
Serious Expertise, Structured for Your Stage.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. Every engagement is scoped individually. Below are the four primary ways we can work together.
How We Work Together
Paid Discovery
Clarity before commitment
Project Engagement
Defined scope, flat rate
Fractional CTO
Ongoing strategic leadership
Equity Hybrid
Selective partnership model
Paid Discovery & Technical Roadmap
The Smartest First Step Before Any Major Build.
Before committing to a complex project, get absolute clarity on what needs to be built, how it should be architected, and what it will realistically take to get there.
What's Included
- Deep-dive technical assessment (codebase, data infra, or concept review)
- Documented architecture roadmap with prioritised recommendations
- Risk and bottleneck identification
- 1-hour debrief session with Q&A
- Discovery fee credited toward full project execution if you proceed
Value-Based Project Engagement
A Defined Outcome. A Flat, Agreed-Upon Investment.
For complete, scoped builds — an MVP, an analytics platform, a custom machine learning model, or a full-stack application. We agree on the outcome and the investment upfront. No billing surprises. No scope creep excuses.
What's Included
- Full end-to-end project delivery to agreed specifications
- Architecture, development, data modeling, and deployment
- Regular progress updates and transparent milestone tracking
- Post-launch support window included
Monthly Retainer — Fractional CTO & Advisory
Executive-Level Technical Leadership on Your Terms.
For companies that need ongoing strategic technical oversight without the commitment of a full-time executive hire. As your embedded Fractional CTO or Senior Advisor, I provide monthly capacity for architectural decisions, team mentoring, roadmap planning, and hands-on development.
What's Included
- Set monthly hours of strategic advisory and/or hands-on execution
- Architecture reviews and technical decision-making support
- Engineering team oversight and mentoring
- Data strategy alignment with business goals
- Priority response times and async availability
Cash + Equity Hybrid
When You're Building Something Worth Betting On.
For early-stage founders with a compelling vision but limited immediate cash flow, I selectively offer a blended model: a reduced cash rate plus a small equity or revenue-share position. I'm not just building your product — I'm investing in your success.
What's Included
- Everything in a standard project engagement
- Reduced upfront cash rate
- Equity or revenue share negotiated per project
- Long-term strategic alignment — I want you to win
This model is offered on a highly selective basis. Apply via the Discovery Call.
Every engagement is scoped individually to ensure the right solution for your specific needs, stage, and goals. Pricing reflects the value and ROI of the outcome — not an hourly commodity rate.
No pressure. No pitch. Just a focused conversation about your specific situation.
