FAQ

Advisory questions

Why is this custom scoped?
Fractional CTO engagements vary widely — some clients need 1 day/month plus a quarterly board report, others need weekly exec sessions and active vendor negotiations. We scope against your decision cadence. Typical retainers land $5,000–$10,000/month.
How much CTO time do I get?
Typically 1-3 days/month of senior time, plus async support between sessions. We size this in scoping based on your decision cadence.
Can we engage just for a strategy phase?
Yes – a 6-12 week strategy engagement to deliver the roadmap, with the option to continue on retainer afterwards.
Do you replace our current CIO?
More often we sit alongside an internal IT manager or augment a board, providing the AI/strategy depth they don't have. We're explicit about boundaries upfront.
Is there a minimum term?
3-month minimum so the engagement has time to produce value, then month-to-month. Annual commitments unlock discounted rates.
Where are your advisors based?
Australia, with regular travel to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. Most sessions are remote; on-site for board meetings and strategy offsites.

Ready to scope an advisory engagement?

Most clients begin with an AI-Readiness Assessment so the first advisory month starts with a real plan instead of discovery.
