Consulting

Senior judgment where it changes the outcome

We work alongside teams that already have engineers but need a senior voice on the calls that shape the roadmap, the architecture, and the spend. Advisory by the hour, embedded by the month, or scoped to a fixed audit.

When consulting is the right call

Four moments where a senior voice pays for itself

Not every project needs a delivery team. Some need experience in the room before a line of code is written, or a second opinion before a commitment is made.

Engagement shapes

Three ways to work together

Pick the shape that fits the question. Advisory for ongoing judgment, fractional for an embedded senior, audits when the deliverable is a written answer.

Advisory

Engagement

Best fit · Open-ended judgment without an embedded role

A standing arrangement for the calls that matter: architecture, vendor selection, AI direction, prioritization. We meet weekly, review work async between sessions, and stay reachable for the questions that cannot wait.

Cadence
1 to 2 sessions per week
Duration
60 to 90 day minimum
  • Weekly working sessions with notes
  • Async review on docs, PRs, and decisions
  • Written recommendations when a call needs them

Fractional technical lead

Engagement

Best fit · Embedded as a senior in the room

We show up as part of the team for a slice of the week. Standups, design reviews, hiring loops, and the long-running calls about where the product is going. Built for teams that need experience embedded, not just consulted.

Cadence
2 to 4 days per month
Duration
3 to 6 month engagements
  • Standing place in standups and reviews
  • Roadmap, hiring, and architecture input
  • Mentorship for senior ICs and leads

Audits and workshops

Engagement

Best fit · Fixed-scope written deliverable

Discrete engagements with a clear question and a clear artifact at the end. AI feature audit, prompt and cost audit, modernization audit, or a half-day workshop with the team. Scoped before we start, delivered in writing.

Cadence
1 to 3 week turnaround
Duration
Fixed scope and price
  • Written audit with prioritized findings
  • Workshop deck and recording when in scope
  • 30-minute walkthrough with the team

Anatomy of an engagement

Every engagement ends with something written

Meetings are how the work happens. Memos and audits are how the work survives the meeting. Each engagement is scoped up front and closed with a written artifact your team can act on.

What consulting is for

Consulting earns its fee when it changes a decision, not when it fills an hour.
