For two weeks, Prototype acts as your technical owner — pressure-testing
the idea instead of letting budget disappear into throwaway prototypes,
boilerplate repos, or half-working agents. You leave with a build-ready
brief and a clear recommendation for what comes next.
What you get: product goal and context, target users,
the first buildable slice, key risks and assumptions, a high-level
technical approach, and a proposal-ready build brief.
2 weeks · $3k–$5k · 2 weekly strategy calls. Planning Sprint credits
toward the next engagement are confirmed in the proposal.
Explore the Software Planning Sprint
Six weeks of senior technical ownership to turn an idea, workflow, or
AI/software opportunity into a demoable, commercializable prototype,
eval toy, or product slice — plus the sales story and validation path
to keep moving. This is not advisory-only.
What you get: first commercializable prototype or
slice, build notes, risk/assumption log, demo/sales narrative, and a
next-step recommendation.
6 weeks · ~60 hours · $12k–$18k. Best when you need proof before a
larger build — not a full production MVP in six weeks.
Explore the 6-Week Fractional CTO Sprint
The higher-tier build path when scope is approved and you need
implementation-heavy delivery: MVP foundation, portal, integration,
workflow system, or AI-supported subsystem with stronger QA and
deployment expectations.
What you get: a production-grade software slice, QA
and deployment support, and a next-step recommendation.
6 weeks · 10–15 hrs/week · $30k–$45k+. Best when the brief is approved
and you need software shipped — not another strategy deck.

AI work starts with a real workflow: sales outreach prep, proposal
writing, intake, internal knowledge, reporting, or review.
Prototype helps define where AI belongs, what should stay
human-owned, what data is involved, how outputs should be
evaluated, and how the first usable workflow should be implemented
— not just documented.
What you get: workflow design, data-flow map,
human review model, evaluation plan, prompts/templates/workflow
logic, and an implementation path for the first assistant.
Best for teams handling sensitive knowledge, customer workflows,
regulated-adjacent decisions, or operationally important processes.
Plan a trusted AI system
Best for teams that want company knowledge available through a
private assistant — proposals, SOPs, client notes, policies,
project docs, onboarding materials, and repeatable internal
workflows — with permission-aware usage and human review built in.
What you get: a private AI workspace with document
ingestion, user roles, model/provider configuration, workflow
prompts, usage guidance, evaluation expectations, and a support
path.
Best for professional services firms, consultancies, agencies,
clinics, nonprofits, construction and engineering firms,
manufacturers, and teams with valuable internal knowledge.

A website should do more than exist. It should help the right
buyer understand what you do, why it matters, why they should
trust you, and what to do next. Prototype builds commercial
websites for teams that need clear positioning, service
architecture, proof, lead capture, and a site that supports real
sales conversations.
What you get: a landing page, brand site, or
strategic commercial site with positioning, proof, responsive
design, SEO basics, and conversion paths.
Best for founders, service companies, startups, consultants,
agencies, and teams preparing for outreach, fundraising, or market
validation.
Build a commercial site
Funding conversations often stall when the technical story is
unclear. Prototype helps founders and teams turn product ideas, AI
opportunities, and software roadmaps into clear technical plans
that can support lender conversations, innovation grants, advisor
review, or early diligence.
What you get: a funding-ready technical roadmap,
milestone plan, architecture summary, delivery assumptions,
technical risk register, and implementation narrative.
Best for founders preparing for BDC, Futurpreneur, IRAP,
non-dilutive funding, innovation grants, or lender/advisor
conversations.
Prototype does not guarantee funding, replace accounting or legal
advice, or act as a grant-writing agency. We provide the technical
clarity and implementation planning that makes funding
conversations more credible.
Prepare a funding-ready technical plan
As products grow, technical decisions become business decisions.
Prototype provides ongoing senior technical leadership for teams
that need architecture judgment, delivery governance, roadmap
support, vendor oversight, and a clear bridge between business
goals and engineering execution.
What you get: architecture review, roadmap
governance, vendor/team oversight, hiring support, AI/SDLC
strategy, and executive technical translation.
Best for founders, operators, growing SaaS teams, and
organizations managing internal or external development teams.
