A FIXED SCOPE.
A FIXED FEE.
A FINISHED THING.

THREE WAYS TO GET A SPECIFIC TECHNICAL PROBLEM SOLVED,
ON A TIMELINE AND BUDGET
YOU KNOW UPFRONT.

Whether you need a straight answer on where things stand, help making your first engineering hire, or real process behind a team that's outgrown ad hoc coordination — pick the one that matches where you are.

Three ways in

Each one is fixed-fee, fixed-scope, and ends in something tangible; never just advice. Pick the one that matches what you actually need right now.

The Diagnostic

AUDIT

You've been 'close' for months. The team says yes to everything, but what you asked for isn't quite what you got. You're still the safety net.

$5,000 · 2–4 Weeks

A fixed-fee, deep-dive diagnostic into your codebase, your team, and your vendor relationships. No recommendations before the diagnosis, just a straight answer on where things actually stand.

Includes:

  • Stakeholder interviews across your team and vendors

  • Full assessment of codebase health, team structure, and technical risk

  • A written, prioritized roadmap, yours to keep regardless of what happens next|
     

Good fit if: you're spending real money on development and can't tell whether it's being spent well.

The First Hire

FIRST-HIRE SPRINT

You know you need an engineer. You don't know how to hire one, what to pay them, or how to make sure they don't quit in month three.

$10,000–$15,000 · 4–8 Weeks

I run the entire hiring process alongside you — job description, interview design, the actual interviews — then set up just enough process for your new hire to land into structure on day one, not chaos.

Includes:

  • Job description and interview process, run directly with you

  • Contract-vs-FTE recommendation

  • A "Day 1" onboarding plan and basic tracking setup

  • Career ladder and growth path documentation


Good fit if: this is your first technical hire and you can't afford to get it wrong.

The Process Fix

PROCESS-SETUP SPRINT

Your team says yes, but deadlines still slip. You're still the quality filter. The roadmap changes every month.

$8,000–$12,000 · 4–6 Weeks

For a team that's outgrown ad hoc coordination. I define a workflow sized to your team (not enterprise process for five people), implement the actual tooling, and train the team to run it without you.

Includes:

  • Workflow and decision framework installation

  • Real tooling: project tracking, code review, CI/CD, basic on-call if relevant

  • Team training so the process runs without ongoing hand-holding


Good fit if: you have 2+ engineers and no real process behind them yet.
 

This Is Not For You If…

  • Ongoing, hands-on partnership where I'm building and operating month to month (that's Embedded)

  • A standing relationship for judgment on whatever comes up (that's Advisory)

  • Anyone wanting a recommendation before the diagnosis is done. Each of these starts with looking, not guessing

  • Founders not ready to act on what the diagnosis or process reveals

He consistently emphasized the importance of quality code improvements, instilling a mindset of excellence and attention to detail in our team.

Scott F.

Rarely have I seen a developer that can align the technical requirements of a team, the business needs that drive that team's success, and the rapport of the team for repeatable success.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Start with the Audit if you're not sure what's actually wrong. It's the fastest, cheapest way to get a real answer, and the roadmap it produces often points directly to whether First-Hire Sprint or Process-Setup Sprint is the right next step.

  • Most founders start with one and add another later if the roadmap calls for it. It's rare to need all three at once.

  • That happens. If a project reveals you need ongoing, hands-on partnership rather than a bounded fix, we'd talk about whether Embedded makes more sense, and any work already done carries forward.

  • No. The form below asks what's prompting you to look for help — that's enough to start the conversation and figure out the right fit together.

  • So you know the cost and timeline before we start, not after. No meter running, no surprises when the invoice arrives.

Start With a Clearer Picture

These questions aren’t about scoring you. They help me understand where clarity is missing and whether this audit is the right next step.
