Most engagements start with a 2 week audit. €10K. Refundable after kickoff. Then integration, build, or retainer follow.
I help founders and CTOs ship the work that compounds. AI features that hold up in production. Platforms that survive the second year. Architectural calls that do not have to be unwound at Series A.
Three engagement shapes after the audit. AI integration from €25K. Build engagements from €30K, capped at €60K. Advisory retainer from €8K per month. Three to four engagements per quarter, no more.
Each shape is bounded, dimensioned, and priced before work starts. Below the floor or above the cap, the studio refers out with names. Public pricing reviewed quarterly.
Two weeks to a written brief on architecture, vendor stack, production cost, and a go or no-go. If the brief says ship, the integration build picks up where the audit ends.
End to end ownership through production handoff. Scope locked at the SOW; meaningful new scope is a written change order with a price delta agreed before work resumes. Working software at every milestone gate.
For founders or heads of engineering who do not need a full time CTO. Architecture reviews, hiring panels for senior roles, vendor evaluations, board prep on the technical narrative, and the calls outside the sprint board.
Four production platforms across HR, real time geospatial, content streaming, and consumer software. Architected end to end, operated long enough to learn what the first design got wrong.
Relocation aware HR and talent platform. Multi-deliverable engagement spanning audit, HR app v1 and v5, and the marketing site.
Real time matching and live tracking marketplace. 50K+ concurrent connections, sub-second match latency, geospatial indexing built for actual user movement.
Multi-portal content and live streaming platform. Web and mobile clients, distributed CDN, content rights model that maps to the trust's governance.
Headless CMS for a numerology consultancy with rule driven personalization. Phase 2 launches with extended content modules and subscriber tooling.
Pricing transparency. Fractional CTO mechanics. Replatforming framework. Cross-border hiring diligence. AI integration cost in regulated industries. Read what the studio actually does before booking the call.

The studio operates as a senior solo practice with AI tooling deeply integrated and senior contractors brought in on specific scopes. Continuity is built into the engagement model.
Thirteen plus years shipping production engineering. Architecture chops on real time systems, AI feature integration into shipped products, regulated-industry build constraints, and the senior hires that come with growing engineering teams from two to twenty.
The previous shape, an eighteen person team between 2022 and 2024, was deliberately wound down once AI tooling matured to the point where one senior operator and a tight contractor bench could deliver the focused work scale-ups actually need.
Continuity is contractual, not goodwill. Every retainer includes a written handover plan in the SOW. Every build engagement ships with documentation and runbooks the client team owns at handoff. Three to four engagements per quarter is the cap. The studio walks from anything outside that capacity, regardless of price.
