Playbooks

These are the frameworks I actually use on engagements — written up so you can see how I think before we ever talk.

They’re deliberately practical. No theory for its own sake; just the questions I ask, the trade-offs I weigh, and the checklists I run when a real decision is on the table. If you’re evaluating whether I’m the right fractional CTO for you, this is the most honest preview I can give.

What’s here​

  • Technical due diligence — how I assess the technical health of a company, and what I’d look for in yours.
  • The first 90 days — what I do when I step into a technology function, week by week.
  • Build vs. buy — a decision framework for one of the most expensive calls you’ll make.

New playbooks land here regularly. For shorter, more timely pieces, see Insights.
