How it works
A fractional engagement is monthly, with a three-month minimum. Each quarter has a defined outcome we agree on in advance — usually one to three workflows shipped, plus ongoing support on whatever else comes up.
The retainer is tiered based on volume. A lighter tier is one working session a week plus async support. A heavier tier is multiple sessions, deeper build time, and faster response on incidents.
What this isn’t
It isn’t an open-ended “AI strategy” retainer where nothing measurable happens. It isn’t substitute headcount for a full-time engineer or CTO. It isn’t a way to outsource your operation.
It is a way to keep building, steadily, without hiring before you’re ready — with someone in the seat who’s done it inside their own company first.
Honest fit check
If you found me through this site and you’re not sure whether you need a fractional engagement, you probably don’t yet. Start with a Foundation Audit or an Implementation Sprint. Most fractional clients get there after working with me on something defined first.
