Frequently Asked Questions

A Fractional CTO provides hands-on technical leadership on a part-time or project basis. At KYFEX, this means aligning your data and AI strategy with business OKRs, setting architecture standards, mentoring your engineering team, defining technical roadmaps, and making hiring decisions - all without the full-time executive cost.
Consultants deliver reports. A Fractional CTO is embedded in your organization - attending standups, reviewing PRs, interviewing candidates, and making real-time architectural decisions. We operate as a member of your team, not an outside observer.
Startups that need technical leadership without the full-time cost, growth-stage companies scaling their engineering org, and enterprise teams spinning up new AI/data initiatives. If you have technical challenges but not enough work for a full-time CTO, this model is for you.
Typically within 1-2 weeks of signing. We begin with a discovery week to understand your business, team, and technical landscape before making any recommendations.
Most Fractional CTO engagements are monthly retainers with a defined number of hours per week. We also offer project-based engagements for specific initiatives like architecture reviews, team assessments, or roadmap planning.
