Advisor
When an advisor makes sense
An advisor makes sense when what you need is an answer, not another hire.
Does it sound like this?
- “We keep going back and forth on the same technical decision, and nobody can settle it.”
- “I’m about to spend real money on this, and I want a second read first.”
- “I don’t need to hire anyone. I need an answer.”
- “I can’t tell what’s an actual risk and what’s just noise.”
Then you need someone for a fixed piece of work, to
Answer the decision in front of you
You get a written read on the decision in front of you: what I would do, what I would not, and what it turns on. It is yours to keep.
Separate the real risk from the noise
You bring the list of what’s worrying you, and we go through it together one by one. And you will gain an understanding of how serious each one actually is, and when and how to deal with it.
Bring the judgment without the hire
You get the judgment of someone who has run engineering, without putting them on payroll. If you need more than an answer, I’ll tell you.
If there’s a decision in front of you and you want a second read on it, tell me what you’re weighing.
Bigger than one decision? There’s a day or two a week, and the full-time version.
