Frequently Asked Questions

What does "fractional" mean in this context?

It means you get senior-level technical leadership on a part-time or project basis — not a full-time hire. This gives you expert guidance at a fraction of the cost of an FTE.

Can you help us select a vendor or software platform?

Yes. We develop the RFP, screen and interview vendors, score proposals against your criteria, and deliver a written recommendation with rationale.

Do you provide ongoing monthly support?

Yes. We offer monthly retainer engagements for ongoing tech stewardship, which can include a set number of hours per month for advising, coordination, and reviews.

Can you train our staff on new tools?

Absolutely. We design training sessions, SOPs, and documentation tailored to your team's technical level, and offer follow-up coaching as needed.
