Ongoing Advisory
A thinking partner who knows your system.
Not every team needs a full build engagement. Sometimes you need someone who understands the technical and strategic landscape deeply, who you can call when the big decisions come up. We offer ongoing advisory relationships for exactly that.
This is for you if…
- —
CTOs who want a senior peer to think out loud with and pressure-test ideas
- —
Founders who are the de facto CTO and need a trusted technical sounding board
- —
Engineering leaders navigating a critical transition (scaling, re-architecting, AI adoption)
- —
Teams who have finished an engagement but want continuity and ongoing support
What the relationship looks like
Regular Cadence
A standing monthly or bi-weekly call to review what's happening, think through upcoming decisions, and maintain context between conversations.
On-Demand Access
Between calls, you have direct access for time-sensitive questions, document reviews, or architectural gut-checks.
Strategic Decisions
We help with the choices that shape your system for years: build vs. buy, technology bets, and agentic engineering strategy.
Organizational Guidance
We advise on team structure, hiring strategy for critical roles, and managing technical debt while scaling.
To be clear about what this isn't
- ×
Generic consulting where we come in cold and give pre-packaged advice
- ×
A replacement for your engineering leadership team
- ×
Staff augmentation or hands-on development (that's our build engagement)
- ×
Endless workshops that result in more slides instead of better decisions
What this is: a direct, ongoing relationship with people who know AI-first engineering deeply, who care whether your organization succeeds, and who will tell you the truth when you need to hear it.
How we get started
Advisory relationships almost always start with a Strategy Session. That gives us both a chance to see how we work together and make sure the fit is right before committing to anything ongoing.
If you've already worked with us on a build engagement, we can move straight to discussing what ongoing support would look like.
