[CAPABILITY] · STRATEGY

The calls that should not be made in a vacuum.

Senior engineering judgement, available as a discrete engagement. We sit alongside technical leaders for the decisions that compound.

What's in.

  • 01Quarterly and annual roadmap review
  • 02Build-vs-buy and vendor selection
  • 03Senior engineering hiring loops
  • 04Due diligence for acquisitions and investments

  • 06Org design for engineering teams
[03]Approach

How we work inside it.

We write before we recommend.

Every strategy engagement produces a written artifact. Verbal advice ages badly. Documents survive the next reorg.

Decisions, not opinions.

Each recommendation comes with the trade-off, the dissenting view, and what to do if we are wrong.

Independent of the vendor.

We are not partnered with a hyperscaler, a model provider, or a recruiting firm. The advice is the product.

[05]Engagements

When teams reach out.

01

Fractional principal engineer

Two to four days a month with a CTO or VP, on the calls that should not happen without a senior engineer in the room.

02

Investor diligence

A technical read on a target company, delivered in writing, in under two weeks, that survives committee.

03

Hiring loop design

The interview process for a senior engineering hire — questions, rubric, calibration — built so the right person says yes.
