Quick answer

What is the Tech Teardown?

The Tech Teardown is a fixed-fee, two-week review of your code, team, and spend for $7,500 — ending in a written verdict and a prioritized fix list. No retainer, no commitment, and the fee is credited toward your first month if you go monthly within 30 days. It's the lowest-risk way to find out where you stand before committing to a fractional CTO retainer or weighing a full-time hire. Book your Teardown.

How long does it take?

Two weeks. At the end you get a written verdict and a prioritized fix list, plus a 45-minute walkthrough — no deck, no spin. It's the fastest way to find out exactly where you stand.

How is a Teardown different from technical due diligence?

Same rigor, different audience: the Teardown is for founders sizing up their own tech, team and spend, while investor-grade due diligence is aimed at a deal. Both end in a blunt verdict and a fix list — the Teardown is just the lowest-risk way to start.

What happens after the Teardown?

Nothing, unless you want it to. If you want help executing the fix list, you can move to a month-to-month fractional CTO retainer and the $7,500 is credited toward your first month. Not sure you need ongoing help? See how the engagement works or book a fit call.
