The difference between them is not the calibre of the people. It is who directs the work, and who carries the risk if it changes.
A dedicated professional embedded in your team, working under your direction. You set the priorities and run the stand-ups; we hold the employment contract, payroll, insurance and compliance. The right model when you want the continuity of a full-time team member without opening an entity or taking on the exit risk.

Fractional CTO and senior expertise →
End-to-end delivery of a defined scope, run to documented SLAs. You agree the outcome and we manage the people, the sequencing and the delivery against it — web and app builds, data migration, e-commerce operations.
