We hold the roadmap
What is coming, what it costs, and what happens if it is delayed — written down and reviewed with you, not carried in someone's head.
The IT department you do not have to hire
There is an awkward size where nothing is on fire but nobody owns the whole picture — and the person doing it is doing it in addition to their real job.

Who this is for
- Your operations manager has quietly become the IT department.
- Decisions about tools get made by whoever happened to be in the meeting.
- You are paying for software nobody has reviewed in two years.
- A full-time hire is more than you need and more than you want to commit to.
How it works
We hold the vendors
Renewals, contracts and the conversations you do not want to have. Including telling you when something you pay for is no longer earning it.
We are in the room
A weekly call with whoever runs the business, so technology decisions get made where the commercial ones are, rather than afterwards.
Out of scope
What this excludes
It is not a helpdesk — day-to-day support is a retainer, and the two are often bought together but priced separately. It is not unlimited delivery: large builds are scoped and quoted like any project. And it is not signing authority; we recommend, you decide.
Your side
What we need from you
Someone with commercial authority on the weekly call. Visibility of the budget, including the parts that are uncomfortable. And the willingness to hear that something you chose is not working.
Fractional only works with access. Kept at arm's length from the real constraints, we would be an expensive way to produce documents.
Where we stop
Where this stops being the right shape
When the work is steady enough to fill a full week, you should be hiring, and we will tell you when we think you have reached it. Keeping a client on fractional past that point is good for us and bad for them.
