Add-on
Not just whether it's working today. For a business that's grown past "whoever's good with computers" but isn't ready for a full-time executive hire, this is real ownership of the whole technology picture -- systems, vendors, spend, and risk -- without the recruiting risk, the benefits administration, or the six-month search before it starts.
Who this is for
This add-on works alongside whichever package you have -- it's the strategic layer on top of the support that's already keeping things running, not a stand-in for it. If day-to-day support isn't already covered, that's the real starting point; this is what a growing company adds once it needs someone accountable for the roadmap, not just the tickets.
What's included
The real comparison
A single fully-loaded technology leader -- salary, payroll taxes, health insurance, PTO, retirement match -- runs $230,000–$285,000/year for a company at this stage, before anyone's hired underneath them to keep the lights on. This add-on gives you that ownership and the hands-on support team in one relationship, for less -- no recruiting risk, no benefits administration, no six-month search before it starts.

For clients who need more than support -- someone accountable for where the technology is headed, not just whether it's working today. This adds onto any package as ongoing strategic ownership, not a one-time project.
