Consider this: A full-time CTO costs $250,000-$400,000+ annually (salary + benefits + equity).

Fractional Executive Tier: $43,200/year (20 hrs/month)

  • Savings: $206,800-$356,800 annually

  • You get: Strategic leadership without full-time commitment

Typical client ROI examples:

  • IT Cost Optimization: $8,000 assessment identifies $100,000+ in annual savings (12.5x ROI)

  • Cloud Migration: $16,000 strategy prevents $50,000 in migration mistakes (3x ROI)

  • Fractional CTO: $43,200/year enables $150,000 in operational efficiencies (3.5x ROI)
