Pricing

One fixed price. No surprises, no “starting at” language. If we agree on scope and you pay the deposit, the engagement is locked in.
Questions
Can we book multiple sessions?
Yes — they can be standalone or sequenced. If you're running more than 2–3, consider the Fractional CTO engagement instead.
What if the question is too big for 90 minutes?
I'll tell you up front and recommend a better-scoped engagement.
Can you bring the whole team?
Yes, up to 6 people on the call.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes.
