Independent CTO advisory · Energy & IoT
Bring one consequential architecture, reliability, or rollout question. I'll help you assess the evidence, make the trade-offs explicit, and decide what happens next.
Two ways to work together
The review is the default starting point. Advisory is for teams that need an experienced decision partner over time.
One critical system or product flow. Ten business days. A written decision memo and 90-day action plan.
10 business days from kickoff and agreed access
A regular sounding board for technical choices affecting your product, team, and runway.
Up to 6 hours per month · month to month
Prices exclude VAT, where applicable. Larger or different scopes are quoted separately.
The review process
The scope stays narrow enough to produce a useful answer, not a superficial tour of everything.
Agree the question, boundaries, people, evidence, and success criteria before kickoff.
Review selected architecture, code, telemetry, incident history, costs, and operating constraints.
Make the trade-offs and assumptions visible. Identify what must be verified before committing.
Deliver the memo, priorities, owners, acceptance criteria, and a 30 / 60 / 90-day plan.
Fit
Questions
We spend 30 minutes on the product, decision, deadline, and fit. If I can help, I send a written scope and fee. The assessment itself starts after kickoff.
Only what supports the agreed question: selected documents, code, diagrams, telemetry, or interviews. We agree access and handling before work begins.
Implementation is separate. Advisory can help your team review progress and make follow-on decisions within the monthly time budget.
Yes, where the question is a focused technical or product risk assessment in energy or connected products. Broader diligence is scoped separately.
