Engagement models
Flexible options depending on your needs
Product Architecture Review
Deep dive into your product and system design
8–16 hours over 2–4 weeks. We review your architecture, product decisions, identify bottlenecks and technical risks, and provide concrete recommendations with prioritization.
Ongoing Advisory
Recurring calls and async support for strategic decisions
1–2 calls per month plus async communication. Best for founders navigating hiring, architectural changes, new feature launches, or market pivots.
Deep-Dive Sprint
Focused engagement on a specific problem or milestone
2–4 weeks of part-time involvement on a concrete challenge: designing a new system, scaling a bottleneck, planning an integration, or evaluating a major architectural decision.
Pricing and specifics are flexible and depend on scope, depth, and your situation. The goal is to find an arrangement that works for both of us.
