Sometimes you don't need
a team. Just an answer.

1–2 weeks

Idea Verification

Pressure-test the idea before you spend a quarter building it.

We talk to your would-be users, tear apart your assumptions, and write back with a written point of view. Sometimes the answer is “keep going.” Sometimes it’s “rebuild the pitch.” Either way you’ll know.

What you get

• ↳User & competitor research
• ↳Risk and assumption map
• ↳Written recommendation
• ↳Optional clickable prototype

Ongoing

Project Management

We run the cadence so your team can stay heads-down.

Two-week sprints, Friday demos, weekly written updates. We work in your tools — Linear, Jira, GitHub, whatever — and we don’t hide behind status meetings.

What you get

• ↳Sprint planning & retros
• ↳Weekly written updates
• ↳Risk & blocker tracking
• ↳Stakeholder communication

1–3 weeks

Design Validation

Get an honest second opinion before shipping the redesign.

We audit your flows, your design system, and the gap between intent and execution. You get a written critique with prioritised fixes — not a rebrand pitch.

What you get

• ↳Heuristic audit
• ↳Design system review
• ↳User session synthesis
• ↳Prioritised fix list

Monthly retainer

Startup Consultancy

Senior judgement on the calls that don’t have right answers.

Architecture, hiring, fundraising prep, vendor selection, the dozen things a first-time CTO has to figure out alone. We’ve done it before and we’ll tell you what we’d do.

What you get

• ↳Weekly leadership sync
• ↳Hiring & interview support
• ↳Architecture reviews
• ↳Slack channel access

Project-based

Deployments

The boring infrastructure that decides whether you sleep at night.

We set up CI/CD, observability, on-call rotations, and the security hygiene that audits will eventually ask for. AWS, Vercel, GCP, or whichever cloud you’re already on.

What you get

• ↳CI/CD pipelines
• ↳Observability & alerting
• ↳On-call setup
• ↳Security review

2–4 weeks

AI/LLM Strategy

A written view on where AI should actually show up in your product — and where it shouldn’t.

We map the places in your product where language models earn their keep, the places they don’t, and the eval and guardrail work that turns a demo into something you’d put a customer in front of.

What you get

• ↳Use-case map with cost & risk per surface
• ↳Model & provider recommendation
• ↳Eval harness plan
• ↳Written strategy document
