1 day/week backup — in 2 days.

No pitch · 15–20 min · No obligation · Need a one-pager for the CEO? Ask on the call.
Who this is for
CTOs, VP Engineering, Head of Engineering — B2B SaaS or tech-enabled B2B in the EU. Post-seed or Series A.
You don't have a dedicated CPO yet — or you are the product person. You own or co-own roadmap, OKRs, and delivery. You're asked to "do something with AI" but don't have bandwidth.
You want one clear priority and optionally someone 1 day a week to take some of that load — not a full-time CPO and not an open-ended consultancy.
The problem
- Product and OKRs: You own or co-own roadmap and OKRs; it's messy and you're not a "product person" by background. No one else can do it yet. OKRs are ad hoc or inherited; no time to fix the system.
- Delivery: You know delivery is chaotic; fixing it while building is hard. Releases slip; eng and "product" (often you) are misaligned. "We need to be more agile" but you're the one who has to make it happen.
- AI: Under pressure to "do something with AI"; no bandwidth to evaluate use cases properly. You want a short list of high-impact, feasible opportunities.
- Single point of failure: You're the single point of failure for product, eng, and OKRs. You'd pay for clarity and optional fractional backup — 1 day a week — without hiring yet.
Snapshot Advisor
Ask about your specific bottleneck
Not sure if a Snapshot is right for your scale-up? Ask about your current challenges in OKRs, delivery, or AI strategy.
What you get
Two ways to start: Snapshot (2 days, report in 5) or single-day trial (450 EUR). Then optionally 1 day/week. Use the output to make the case with the CEO — I can provide a one-pager.
Where you are today
OKRs, delivery, and AI readiness — based on your context. No generic deck.
3–5 prioritised initiatives
Impact vs effort. What to do, in order. Built from your company.
One "do this first"
The single highest-leverage next step. Or try 1 day (450) first.
Optional 1 day/week
Fractional product/delivery lead. OKR design/review, delivery coaching. 3-month min, then 30 days' notice.
How it works
You share context
1–2 calls and any materials (strategy, OKRs, roadmap, delivery setup). Or for a trial: we agree what you want from the day.
Snapshot or trial
Snapshot: ~12–16 hours over 2 days; report in 5. Trial: 1 day (8 h) at 450 EUR. If you sign a 3-month retainer within 14 days, the 450 is deducted from month one.
You get clarity
Report with one "do this first" and 3–5 priorities, or a short summary and next steps from the trial.
You choose
Use it with the team and CEO; get buy-in for retainer or 90-day. Or stop there. For retainer, I run the cadence — you're the owner, I'm the advisor.
Simple, fixed pricing
Pricing (fixed, no RFP). You can approve 2k or 450 yourself. Use the output to get CEO buy-in for retainer; I can give you a one-pager for the CEO.

90-day program: One concrete win (e.g. OKR rollout, delivery fix). 8,000–10,000 EUR. Day-45 review; adjust or exit if not on track. Use Snapshot or trial output to get CEO buy-in; I can give you a one-pager for the CEO.
How this compares
Why Snapshot or trial beats full-time CPO and big consultancy.
| Us | Full-time CPO | Big consultancy | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Snapshot 1,500–2,000 or trial 450; retainer 3,200–4,000/month | Full salary + benefits | Often 6 figures, open-ended |
| Commitment | Try 450 first; retainer 3 months min, then 30 days' notice | Permanent hire | 6–12 months typical |
| Scope | Fixed: report in 5 days or 1 day trial; retainer = 1 day/week | Full-time | Often long discovery |
| You | You can approve 2k or 450; use output for CEO buy-in | Recruitment, onboarding | RFP, committee |
Try before you commit
Single-day trial at 450 EUR. If you sign a 3-month retainer within 14 days, the 450 is deducted from the first month. You're not locked in for a year.
Fractional, not full-time
1 day a week (or 2). OKR design/review, delivery coaching, prioritisation. You don't need a CPO hire yet. 3-month minimum, then 30 days' notice.
Technical credibility
From software and product leadership in scale-ups. Snapshot built from your context. Not pure "product" speak without delivery/eng awareness.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions for CTOs.
The Snapshot is a 2-day assessment (calls and review of your materials) that gives CTOs and Heads of Engineering one clear priority and a 90-day plan. You receive a 4–6 page report within 5 working days with one "do this first" and 3–5 prioritised initiatives for OKRs, delivery and AI. Fixed price, no open-ended project. You can often approve it yourself (1,500–2,000 EUR).
The single-day trial is 1 day (8 hours) of my time at 450 EUR. You use it to try fractional advisory — e.g. OKR review, delivery prioritisation, or AI use-case shortlist. If you sign a 3-month retainer within 14 days, the 450 EUR is deducted from the first month's invoice. No obligation to sign.

I'm not selling a full-time hire. I'm fractional — 1 day a week (8–10 h/month). You get OKR design/review, delivery coaching, and prioritisation. After 3 months you can stop with 30 days' notice or continue.
