Clear ways to get the right level of support

Built something with AI? Get it reviewed. Have an idea? Get technical clarity before you build. Technology central to the business? Get ongoing Fractional CTO support. Need something built? Let's scope it properly.

AI-Built Product Review

For founders who have built an MVP, SaaS product or app with AI tools or vibe coding, and want an experienced technical second opinion before launching or investing further.

£500

  • Fixed scope
  • Paid to reserve a slot
  • A review of your product, codebase, architecture and setup, where relevant
  • The security, reliability and maintainability risks that actually matter
  • Honest challenge on technical decisions that don't make sense
  • What needs fixing now, and what can safely wait
  • Your next 3–5 technical priorities
  • The technical concepts behind each decision, explained so you understand them

You leave knowing whether what you've built is technically sensible, where the real risks are, and what to do next.

Product Clarity Sprint

For founders who have an idea but haven't built yet, or have an early prototype, and need proper technical direction before committing serious time or money.

£1,995

  • 7–10 days
  • Fixed scope
  • Paid to reserve a slot
  • The business problem and your intended users, properly understood
  • What the MVP actually needs, and what should not be built yet
  • Whether the answer is AI tooling, existing SaaS, automation, integrations or bespoke software
  • Architecture and technology direction, with the trade-offs made clear
  • The major technical and product risks, identified early
  • Sensible milestones for getting it built
  • What you can realistically build with AI yourselves, and where you need experienced help

You'll know what to build, what not to build, how to approach the technology, and where to spend or save money.

Fractional CTO

For startups and SMEs where technology matters to the business, but a full-time CTO isn't needed or can't be justified yet. We make the difficult technical calls and stand behind them.

from£2,000/mo

  • Monthly
  • Senior technical ownership
  • Paid upfront
  • Senior technical ownership and decision-making
  • Technology roadmap and priorities: what gets built, what gets dropped, and why
  • Architecture and technical decisions made, and stood behind
  • Oversight of your developers, agency or technical suppliers, with code and quality review where appropriate
  • Support for your team to make sound technical decisions
  • AI, automation and integrations introduced where they genuinely improve the business
  • Unnecessary technology, complexity and spending stopped early
  • Delivery kept aligned with business outcomes

Bespoke software development is not included in the retainer. If something needs building, we scope it separately.

Bespoke Software Development

For startups and SMEs that need a custom SaaS product, web application, internal business system, integration, automation or other bespoke software.

Custom scope

  • Priced per project
  • Not a fixed-price package
  • We start by understanding the business problem, not the feature list
  • Then we scope the software that actually solves it
  • Custom SaaS products and web applications
  • Internal business systems and tools
  • Integrations and automation between the systems you already use
  • Scope and price agreed before any build starts

Not sure yet what should be built? The Product Clarity Sprint is often the right first step.
