🧭 FRACTIONAL CTO

You Were Never Hiring a CTO.
You Were Deciding Badly.

A €1M–€5M company does not have a CTO. It has vendor proposals, opinions that contradict each other, and €50,000 decisions made on the strength of whoever presented best.
We give you a senior with a track record on projects above €5 million to decide with you what to build, in what order, and what is not worth doing.

⚖️ THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, SETTLED

We Build Too. That Is Why This Is Written Down.

Anyone who advises you and sells you the work has a problem, and it is not solved by promising impartiality more loudly. It is solved with rules that cost money to whoever writes them.

The credit rule

  • If the recommendation is to build, and you choose us to do it, the month in which that recommendation is made comes off the project budget.
  • In practice, the month you decide to build with us costs you nothing. What you pay us for is the advice that leads to not doing the work.

What it costs us

  • Recommending that you build stops being a sale for us — it becomes a €2,990 discount.
  • Which leaves it worth our while to recommend what fits, including building nothing, or choosing another supplier when that is the one that fits. It goes in the reports, in writing, with our name on it.

What Stays on Your Side of the Table.

Who Is This Service For?

✅ Companies with €1M–€5M in revenue

With enough operation that a wrong decision is expensive, and no in-house technical team to guide it.

✅ CEOs/COOs with drive but no direction

Who know they need to digitalise but can't prioritise where to start.

✅ Companies after an implementation project

That have already implemented a CRM or ERP but want to make sure they are making the most of it.

✅ Managers receiving many proposals

And needing an independent technical filter to assess vendors and proposals with no conflict of interest.

💰 Consulting vs in-house CTO

Monthly consulting costs €2,990/month (plus VAT). Compare it with the cost of a full-time CTO.

Consulting or Subscription?

They answer different situations, and the difference is one thing: who does the building.

Monthly consulting — €2,990/month

  • You already have people who build. An in-house team, a supplier you trust, or both — what's missing is someone to decide what gets done and in what order.
  • You get strategy, not deliveries. A quarterly roadmap, a monthly maturity report, and a senior voice on the phone when the decision is expensive.
  • It's neutral. We recommend what fits your case, including when the answer is to build nothing.

Subscription — from €2,400/month

  • You don't have people who build. Or you do, and they can't keep up with the queue of projects that never leaves the whiteboard.
  • You get deliveries. Development, design, automation and integrations, with a milestone every 2 to 5 business days depending on the plan.
  • Strategy comes with it, in the review meetings — but what you're buying is execution.

If you're unsure, the €497 Operational X-Ray answers it for you — and the fee is credited against whatever you decide to do.

What Our Clients Say

Real results. Real names. No fine print.

DV

Duarte V.

Startup CEO, Lisbon

★★★★★

"I was about to invest €40,000 in a platform I didn't need. The consulting saved me from that mistake and pointed me towards an €8,000 solution that does exactly what I need. Immediate ROI."

RS

Raquel S.

COO, Coimbra

★★★★★

"The digital roadmap they designed for us gave us total clarity. We know exactly what to implement, in what order and why. In 6 months, operational efficiency rose by 38%."

MT

Marco T.

Founder, Viseu

★★★★★

"I had 6 tools working poorly. The consulting identified that 3 were redundant and helped us consolidate everything. We save €1,200/month on subscriptions and the team became more productive."

JP

Joaquim P.

Family Business Director, Évora

★★★★★

"47-year-old company running on almost artisan processes — I knew I had to modernise but didn't know where to start without breaking what works. The consultancy laid out an 18-month phased roadmap that respected the company's culture. We're halfway through and margin is already up 14% without letting a single person go."

Frequently Asked Questions

The standard format includes 2 monthly meetings of 60–90 minutes, with unlimited asynchronous support between sessions via email or Slack. For projects in a critical phase, we can increase to weekly meetings without changing the monthly fee.

Each session produces an action document with prioritised recommendations, an updated roadmap and progress metrics. Every quarter we deliver a full strategic report with sector benchmarking and identified opportunities.

Yes, no lock-in. You can cancel with 30 days' notice and receive all documents and recommendations produced up to that date. More than 85% of our clients renew because they see concrete results every month.

This service makes sense from around €1M in revenue. Below that, €2,990/month for advice — with no execution included — is too heavy for what the decision is worth: a €500,000 company would be spending 7% of revenue on someone to decide, and the right answer is almost always the subscription, which brings strategy along with the execution.

Impartiality is not asserted, it is proven. Two rules: we frequently recommend building nothing, and that is written into the reports; and if the recommendation is to build and you choose us to do it, the month in which that recommendation is made comes off the project budget. We gain nothing from selling you work you do not need — and we lose the client when they find out.

Sail with a Compass.

One wrong technology decision can cost years of recovery. A good one can drive 30% growth in 12 months.
