Frequently Asked Questions
No. Every engagement starts with a diagnostic sprint (A$5k–$8k, 2 weeks). This serves as both an assessment and a trial of working together. You get a written deliverable regardless of whether you continue.
Project-based work (rescues, automations, builds) is fixed-price with clear scope. Fractional CTO engagements are monthly retainers. We don't bill hourly. It incentivises slowness, and we value speed.
Engagements are structured in 2-week sprints. We re-scope at the end of each sprint based on what we've learned. If priorities shift, the next sprint reflects that. No change order bureaucracy.
Yes. Clients combining multiple services (e.g., fractional CTO + automation) receive adjusted pricing that reflects the reduced overhead of a single relationship. Discuss in the discovery call.
Bug fixes, minor feature development, performance monitoring, dependency updates, and priority response (within 4 hours during business hours). Major feature requests are scoped as separate projects.
