Common questions
Fractional CTO, answered.
- What does a fractional CTO actually do each month?
- Senior technology leadership on a part-time, month-to-month basis — the experienced voice a small business needs in planning conversations, vendor decisions, and roadmap calls, without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
- How does the retainer work?
- You get ongoing access scoped to your needs: monthly strategy sessions, vendor evaluations, roadmap maintenance, on-call advisory, and meeting attendance as needed. Retainers run $1,500–$5,000 per month and flex as your priorities change.
- Is there a long-term contract?
- No. Advisory is month-to-month. We earn the relationship by being useful, not by locking you into a long agreement.
- Is this the same as IT consulting?
- It is the strategy side of IT consulting: technology direction, software and vendor selection, and planning for small businesses across Oakland County and Metro Detroit. We are not a break-fix help desk — and if day-to-day device support is what you actually need, we will point you toward the right managed IT provider rather than sell you the wrong thing.
