Advisory & Delivery
Governance
We give boards, investors, and executives an independent view on a vendor, a plan, an acquisition, or a delivery. Fractional CTO support is available on a retainer basis.
When clients call us
People call when the stakes are high and the information they are getting is not enough. A vendor presents a plan and no one in the room can test it. A board is asked to approve a large investment and wants a second opinion. An investor needs to know whether a company’s technology can scale.
Our job is to tell you what we see, including when it is not what you hoped to hear. We work with boards, executives, and investors, in federal, healthcare, and commercial settings.
What the work includes
Independent assessments
We review a plan, a vendor proposal, or a delivery in progress, and report what is sound, what is risky, and what is missing. The review is written for decision-makers and ends with a clear recommendation.
Technology due diligence
For acquisitions and investments, we look at how the software is built and maintained, how mature the development process is, how much technical debt exists, and whether the team can scale the platform in the time the deal assumes.
Governance frameworks
We help set up who decides what, how issues are escalated, and what leaders review on a regular schedule. Good governance is mostly clear decision rights, written down and followed.
Fractional CTO advisory
Companies without a full-time CTO, or going through a period of change, can retain us for board-level technology leadership. That usually covers architecture, security and AI governance, vendor selection, and representing technology to investors.
Where we have done this
- Seven evaluated, two acquired. Led due diligence on seven potential acquisitions over 18 months, which resulted in two completed deals.
- Integration in six months. Ran post-merger integration for two acquisitions, more than doubled the field organization, and reached operational readiness within six months of closing.
- $1.4B in acquisitions. Led three healthcare-technology acquisitions with a combined value of $1.4B, which generated $200M+ in new revenue.
- Fractional CTO. Represents technology at board meetings and in investor due diligence on architecture, security, and AI governance.
