Tech advisory for small business

The three workflows every business should automate first
The NoCode CTO sits between a full-time CTO — too expensive, too heavyweight — and a generic IT consultant — too tactical, too tool-focused. The right question isn't "what system should we buy?" It's "how should technology actually work in this business, and what's stopping it from working that way now?"
How we work
Four ways to engage — from a one-off audit to an ongoing advisory relationship.
Audit and Strategy
An honest audit of what you have, what it costs, and what it should be doing. You get a prioritised plan — not a report that goes in a drawer.
Learn more →Fractional CTO Advisory
Five days per quarter of CTO-level thinking, without the full-time hire. Strategy, decisions, and someone to call when something needs a clear head.
Learn more →Special Projects
A specific problem that needs solving — a migration, an automation build, a vendor selection, or a tool that won't bed in. Two days a week until it's done.
Learn more →Personnel Sourcing
Finding the right technology hire is harder than it looks if you don't know what good looks like. We define the brief, source candidates, and tell you which ones to take seriously.

'AI-first' is a paint job, not an architecture
Most tools claiming to be AI-native haven't changed their architecture at all. Here's the test that separates genuine AI-native systems from legacy software with a chatbot bolted on.
Worth a conversation.
No pitch deck. No commitment. Just a conversation about what technology is and isn't doing for your business — and whether we can help.
