FAQ
A few common questions about the service and how it is delivered.
Is this the same as IT consulting?
No. Consulting is often episodic and advice-led. Fractional CTO is ongoing technical leadership embedded into the operating rhythm.
How is this different from Engineering Capacity Augmentation?
Fractional CTO provides leadership and governance. Capacity Augmentation provides specialist execution capacity. They can complement each other when needed.
Do you write production code in this role?
The focus is leadership, architecture, and delivery quality. Hands-on contribution may happen when it materially improves direction, but the role is not staff augmentation.
