SERVICE
Senior technical judgment on call — strategy, architecture direction, hiring and vendor decisions, board-level translation.
What we deliver
Not a full project, but a recurring strategic presence. Architecture reviews, technology choice guidance, vendor and team oversight, decision support for leadership. Weekly or monthly cadence, so tech decisions are made proactively rather than reactively.
Regular 1–1.5 hour meetings with leadership and/or the tech team. Continuous presence, not ad-hoc firefighting.
Documented design-decision reviews, ADRs (Architectural Decision Records). Reviewable decision history.
Supplier, SaaS platform, or consultant evaluation. Technical due diligence — we look behind the marketing.
Quarterly and annual priorities, milestones, dependencies. The board and the team see the same picture.
Architecture training, code reviews, 1-on-1s with key people. Your team grows.
Concrete tech input for leadership decisions. Translating technical issues into business decisions for board and exec.
When you need this
#01
As a leader or founder, you've reached the point where tech decisions don't feel confident: which system to choose, who should build it, how much to invest. You don't have a full-time CTO, but you need someone who decides alongside you.
#02
You have to choose between a dev shop, a SaaS platform, or a consultant. The proposals all look good, but you can't tell which is real value and which is marketing. An independent expert can spot the issues in hours.
#03
You have an in-house dev team, but the problems they face go beyond day-to-day development. Architecture, security, scalability — decisions that need a seen-this-before senior perspective.
A concrete example
Anonymised, illustrative project example.
Starting point
A Hungarian manufacturer's leadership wants an AI transformation; no CTO, just an IT manager.
Weeks 1–2
Business workshop with leadership, stakeholder mapping. Three main tech goals identified: production optimisation, customer-facing AI, internal automation.
Weekly cadence
Weekly 1-hour meeting, documented ADRs, board-level roadmap. Vendor evaluation for the deciding moments.
Quarterly
Comprehensive strategic review each quarter — what keeps focus, what drifts, recalibrate priorities.
6+ months
The IT manager confidently leads the initiated projects, with board approval and independent vendor contracts.
Outcome
Multiple AI projects launched, vendor traps avoided, leadership more confident in tech-strategy decisions.

Often these go together — adjacent services we also handle.
FAQ
Usually a weekly or bi-weekly 1–1.5 hour meeting plus a deeper monthly review. Plus ad-hoc Slack/email for urgent decisions.
Architecture reviews, technology choices, vendor evaluation, team mentoring, decision support for board/exec. Strategic tech-level work — not day-to-day developer tasks.
Usually a minimum of 3 months so the framing is meaningful. Monthly flexibility after that — we continue or pause based on need.
Within any one industry I work with at most one anchor project at a time. NDA and exclusivity terms recorded separately before we start.
