Frequently Asked Questions

A fractional CTO is a part-time technology executive who provides strategic leadership without the full-time cost. Instead of hiring a $300K+ CTO, you get the same expertise on a fractional basis — typically a few hours per week or month. Perfect for startups, small businesses, and growing companies in Alberta who need technology leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire.

Advisory focuses on ongoing strategic partnership and trusted guidance over time. Rather than delivering a one-time project or report, we work alongside you as your technology advisor — helping you make smart decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and build technology that scales. Think of it as having a trusted technology expert in your corner long-term.

Engagements vary based on your needs. Most clients start with a Technology Review — a focused assessment of your current stack, security posture, and opportunities. From there, many move to ongoing fractional CTO support (a few hours per week), project-based work (cloud migrations, AI readiness), or team training. We always start with a free strategy call to understand your situation.

Pricing depends on the scope of engagement. A Technology Review starts at a fixed project rate. Ongoing fractional CTO support is typically structured as a monthly retainer based on hours needed. Most small businesses find fractional support costs 80-90% less than hiring a full-time CTO. Book a free strategy call to discuss your specific needs and get a custom quote.
