Fractional Technology Advisory
Use this when technology decisions keep returning and leadership needs recurring senior judgment across vendors, roadmap priorities, operating risk, and organizational ownership.
Best fitLeadership teams that already depend on technology, face recurring consequential decisions, and need continuity without pretending the advisory retainer is a help desk.
The problem
The decisions keep returning after the project ends.
Vendors change, roadmap priorities compete, AI proposals arrive, ownership drifts, and operating risk crosses departments. A one-time report cannot govern an evolving system.
Fractional Technology Advisory gives leadership recurring independent judgment and continuity across those decisions without converting MKUltraman into generic outsourced IT.
What the advisory can cover
Senior judgment where leadership, vendors, and operators meet.
Decision support
Challenge vendor, platform, AI, workflow, migration, and roadmap decisions before commitment.
Vendor oversight
Review proposals, assumptions, delivery risk, scope changes, and whether promised work matches operating needs.
Roadmap governance
Keep sequence, dependencies, priorities, owners, and evidence visible as circumstances change.
Operating review
Review where systems, workflows, access, reporting, or organizational ownership are drifting.
Leadership translation
Translate technical complexity into decisions, tradeoffs, and responsibilities leadership can govern.
Continuity
Preserve context across decisions without moving responsibility away from the people who own the work.
How it starts
Define the governance need before starting the retainer.
We identify the recurring decisions, stakeholders, vendors, operating risks, meeting cadence, information access, and explicit exclusions.
A prior Technology Health Check or implementation engagement can provide useful context, but the prerequisite is a clear operating picture and named client ownership.
New implementation work is scoped separately. The advisory retainer does not silently absorb project delivery, help-desk support, or 24/7 incident responsibility.
Define the decisions
Name the recurring judgment and governance need.
Agree scope and cadence
Set participants, inputs, review rhythm, and exclusions.
Govern and review
Keep decisions, ownership, vendors, and roadmap risk visible.
Questions
Common questions about fractional advisory.
Is this managed IT?
No. It is senior advisory and governance. Routine support tickets, device management, blanket system administration, and 24/7 incident coverage require other providers.
Is implementation included?
No. Small advisory analysis may occur inside the agreed scope. Material implementation, engineering, migration, or build work is scoped separately.
Does this replace internal ownership?
No. The client retains authority and names the people responsible for decisions, adoption, and ongoing operation.
How is pricing determined?
The advisory starts at $1,200 per month. Pricing reflects the agreed decisions, participants, cadence, context load, and oversight boundary.
Need procurement details first?
Need evidence or procurement detail before a recurring engagement?
Review the selected operating record, engagement mechanics, and representative governance artifacts.
Need recurring judgment without a generic managed-service promise?
Start with the $175 Technology Decision Session if the governance need still needs definition. A fractional engagement is scoped separately.
