Do you only advise, or do you also build?

Both. Some clients want a written assessment only; others want us to execute. We are clear up front which mode we are in so expectations stay aligned.

Is this a substitute for a full-time CTO?

It can complement one—or stand in for early-stage teams that are not ready to hire. We focus on pragmatic decisions and documentation your future hires can use.

What industries do you work with?

We are stack- and problem-driven more than industry-specific. Fintech, logistics, e-commerce, and B2B SaaS are common, but the same principles apply across domains.

How is consulting priced?

Typically a fixed fee for a defined deliverable (e.g. review + report) or a monthly retainer for ongoing access. We quote after a short scoping conversation.

Technical consulting from engineers who still ship code

You may not need a full build yet—you need clarity. We help founders, product leaders, and engineering teams make better decisions: stack choices, team structure, estimates, risk, and what “good” looks like in production.

When consulting is the right first step

Use a consulting engagement when you are pre-funding, evaluating vendors, recovering from a stalled project, or planning a rewrite. Short, focused work reduces expensive mistakes later.

What we typically deliver

Architecture & roadmap: diagrams, trade-offs, phased plan.
Code / system review: security, performance, maintainability hotspots.
Vendor or hire support: interview rubrics, RFP review, estimate sanity checks.
Fractional technical leadership: steering meetings, backlog shaping, release discipline.

How engagements are structured

We start with a free 30-minute call to align on goals. Paid discovery is usually a small fixed package (e.g. a few days) with written outputs you own. Ongoing advisory can be monthly hours or tied to a delivery engagement.

Consulting plus delivery

Many clients begin with consulting and continue with Torq for mobile, web, or AI implementation—same senior engineers, no handoff cliff. You can also take our recommendations to your in-house team; we are not tied to selling unnecessary build work.
