Start with a diagnostic or jump straight into a retainer. Clear deliverables, measurable outcomes, no long-term contracts. Every engagement earns its place.
Start with a Tech Check or Deep Dive. Get a clear picture of where your technology stands and what it's costing you.
Receive a prioritized action plan with specific dollar values attached to every finding and recommendation.
Transition into a retained CTO relationship. Diagnostic clients get 50% off their first retainer month.
Every diagnostic produces a dollar-valued action plan. You'll know exactly what your technology is costing you — and what to do about it.
I assess your operations, pipeline, product, stack, and team, then build an AI Opportunity Map with specific findings and next steps. Not "you should explore AI." More like "this process is your biggest bottleneck, here's the fix, and here's what it's worth."
Everything in the Tech Check, plus team interviews, process mapping, competitive analysis, and a 12-month roadmap. Built for businesses preparing for growth, acquisition, or major technology decisions.
Ongoing technology leadership tailored to your growth stage. No long-term contracts — upgrade, downgrade, or cancel any time. Every tier includes structured deliverables, priority access, and measurable outcomes.
Diagnostic clients get 50% off their first retainer month, any tier. Start with a Tech Check or Deep Dive, see the value, and carry that momentum into a retained partnership at half the cost for month one.
For retainer clients who need focused execution on a specific initiative beyond their monthly allocation. Commonly used for platform migrations, vendor transitions, or security remediation projects.
Critical incident support for retainer clients. Security breaches, outages, vendor emergencies — when you need your CTO now, not next Tuesday. Included at Growth and Scale tiers; available to Essentials clients at project rates.
Everything a full-time CTO does — technology strategy, vendor management, team oversight, architecture decisions, AI implementation — but on a retained, fractional basis. A qualified full-time CTO costs $350K–$600K in total compensation. You get the same caliber for a fraction.
Consultants hand you a report and leave. IT companies manage your help desk. A fractional CTO embeds in your business, attends your leadership meetings, knows your team by name, and owns the technology outcomes. The difference is accountability.
At the Growth tier, you can name specific competitors who are contractually locked out of working with MyChiefTech. At the Scale tier, your entire industry segment is exclusive — no one in your competitive space can hire your CTO.
No — you can start with a diagnostic or jump straight into a retainer. We recommend the diagnostic because it establishes a baseline, identifies quick wins, and builds confidence before committing to a monthly partnership. Diagnostic clients get 50% off their first retainer month, so there's a real incentive to start there.
Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the start of your next billing month — just let us know before the current month ends. No long-term contracts, no cancellation penalties. It's our job to earn your business every month.
Absolutely. Most clients have an existing IT provider or internal team. Your fractional CTO operates at the strategic level — setting direction, evaluating vendors, and making architecture decisions — while your existing team handles day-to-day operations.
In two weeks, you'll know exactly where your technology stands and what it's costing you. Diagnostic clients get 50% off their first retainer month.
